We once played in a world where only silver weapons could affect were-creatures.
Non-silver weapons would pass harmlessly through them as if they were insubstantial.
The problem was that silver weapons sucked for all other purposes, so we tended to not have them when we needed them.
FuzzyGeff came up with the solution.
A very thin silver wire, under tension, and completely supported by another weapon surrounding it.
His example was a club.
Against normal opponents, it was still a club.
Against werewolves, it was a cutting instrument. FuzzyGeff came up with a lot of evil things like that.
In a campaign that I was involved with back in the 1980s, we used silver plated weapons against were creatures, and less effectively, vampires. Or am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteThere was a reason, that I can't recall, why we didn't use silver plating.
DeleteThat's really interesting, because I remember it differently. My memory says we weren't at that game at all; that I read about it somewhere. This sort of thing is why I say that Western Civilization is objectively correct to value written history over oral tradition.
ReplyDeleteWell, *I* have written it down, so my version is what we're going with!
DeleteYeah, that's the ticket...
