#FighterWeek  Signature Weapon Question 

The Fighter says this about her Signature Weapon. Since narrative truth is a thing in DW, especially in the first session, how do you deal with this?

 

“The dragon sword, a perfectly made katana with a dragonhead as a hilt. Legend says that if you can unlock the secrets of the blade you can use the dragon to throw fire at your enemies.” 

You could do this by just adding the Reach range to the weapon but that wouldn’t really be throwing fire. At least you are missing the tag (is this a problem?) and what move would that be? 

That beeing the following example: 

“The orc charges you with his two sabres ready to slash you in an X-Cut” 

“I channel the power of my blade and point the hilt at him, the mouth opens and it spews fire at him in a blast. just like a young dragon would”

They grafted freaking Horns to your face! They are awful useful in battle but man, HORNS! ON YOUR FACE! 

Kudos to Kasper Brohus and Eric Lochstampfor 

How about a Whip Sword? Useful in close and reach range

The pickaxe you used to free your people from slavery. 

The whisperblade – a rapier made of solid air. It has no weigh and will pierce any armor. It’s hilt is made with stormgiant hair and used in the right way it will awaken the storm and blow away every enemy

“a golden spear with blue and green gemstones, that looks strangely refined and perfect compared to the rest of her equipment.” 

The two daggers of the master assassin, rumored to kill every man they manage to cut. 

The dragon sword, a perfectly made katana with a dragonhead as a hilt. Legend says that if you can unlock the secrets of the blade you can use the dragon to throw fire at your enemies. 

Your own body. You are the freaking fighter!

Your own natural fey magic. It makes you faster and gives your fist and feet the extra ooommph, when you hit someone with them. Side effects include a glowing aura and bright yellow hair. 

The first sword you ever smithed out of a meteorite. In the night you can hear it whisper in a language you can’t understand. 

A human two-hander, way to big for a normal halfling but not for you. It might look funny but they won’t laugh when you hit them over the head with it. 

“He owns a sword, one of the proofs of his kingship. It looks like an ordinary, even slightly rusty, weapon, but it is incredibly sharp and durable (exactly how it retains its incredible edge has never been explained, especially as after examination by a witch, possibly Magrat Garlick, the weapon was declared to be quite the most non-magical sword she had ever seen). This is because, as Sergant Colon reasons in Guards! Guards!, one usually became king back then by killing one’s enemies, and therefore wanted a sword that was neither shiny nor flashy but instead “bloody efficient at cutting things.” It has, on separate occasions, sliced clean through another sword’s blade and been thrust clean through a person and the pillar of solid rock behind him, then out the other end” 

“a Dothraki arakh and a Myrish stiletto. Their hilts are a matched pair of naked women made in gold.”

#FighterWeek Why is your fighter THE fighter? Community brainstorming!

You are the illegitimate son of the king, raised by peasants but always good and noble. An old crown told you the truth about your lineage on your 16th birthday and handed you the old family sword. Now you have to go and overthrow your brother how is evil and cruel. You are a natural fighter but you also have a bunch of luck.

You are the result of biomagic experiments of your government, huge and bulky, maybe not even human anymore. No one can match your pure strengths.

You are the best pupil of master FiSchu – ending the training 2 years early. A Mozart with the blade, chips progidy. Now you travel the land, learning new styles.

You are an amazon. A fierce fighter and the first ambassador to the outside world. Your fighting style something that’s as never seen on the mainland. Diana’s aegis protects you wherever you go and Ares has blessed your weapon.

You did it, you freed your people from slavery from the dark elves. You organised the riots, you lead the guerrillas. Most of your siblings died in battle but you overcame their twisted magic and learned to use the tools given to you as weapons. The giant pick axe is still with you, able to crack any stone and skull. You are out there, fighting the good fight for everyone that is oppressed, be it monsters, mages or slavers.

You are

Prelude to #FighterWeek  

Who is you favourite “Fighter” in fiction? 

#FighterWeek  

Hello to all you 1643 Members of the community. 

I thought we could have a bit of fun and get creative next week. 

Let’s get together and create stuff about the mainstay of fantasy. The Fighter. Let’s share items, stories and mechanical ideas. Let’s prepare to Hack Goblins and Slash Dragons. 

Let’s lift some gates and bend some bars.

At least i will try to post something every day.  

If you need some inspiration or structure to it i would propose the following structure 

Monday – introduction, brainstorming (why are you THE fighter, signature weapon options etc.) 

Tuesday – (magic) items and weapons 

Wednesday – bonds, alignments, drives, origins, races 

Friday – comp classes and new moves 

Saturday – new monsters (special kind of fighters, blademasters etc.) 

Sunday – what is left, class hacks, etc

What do you think? Do you want to participate? Is the structure okay or can we go without? 

I am exited for #FighterWeek
