Subj: Scabbards and Frogges

Some of you may remember awhile ago I had mentioned that after all the
brouhaha over the warrior reworking was over that we had one final
surprise left for warriors. Well, our little coder monkeys have finished
the final piece! There is now a new category in forging called
Scabbards! This category includes both scabbards (which are only for
swords) and frogges (clasps that are for most anything else including
bludgeon weapons and axes). Note that they can only hold specific types
of weapons depending on the type of scabbard they are. Weapon types for
scabbards and frogges are: one-handed sword, two-handed sword,
one-handed axes, two-handed axes, one-handed bludgeons, two-handed
bludgeons. Please note the following:

Sheathing a weapon. The full syntax available is: SHEATHE
|LEFT|RIGHT . If you specify a hand, you will
sheathe whatever you're wielding in that hand, otherwise you'll sheathe
the specified weapon. If you don't specify a scabbard, the first empty
one that'll fit the selected weapon will be used. Usually, "SHEATHE
SWORD" will be good enough.

When you PROBE a scabbard, you can see what kinds of weapons it can
hold, and if it's holding one, you'll see it.

Draw a weapon. The full syntax available is: DRAW |
. If you specify a hand, that's the hand you'll
wield in, assuming that hand is free; otherwise, the first free hand is
used. Usually, "DRAW SWORD" will be good enough.

Drawing and sheathing weapons ONLY requires arm balance for the affected
arm (but is stopped by hemiplegy and other things that count as making
the arm unusable).

Penned by my hand on the 2nd of Avechary, in the year 119 CE.

Good for the RP, but I fail to see any SERIOUS advanage.

That said, woot!

Shush Erion.

Woot!

Oh, how are they made? Can I forge/craft them?

See it now, Richter?

Time to get me some frogges!

I never said it was a SERIOUS advantage, but you can now more easily switch weapons in mid-combat which must have some strategic impact, however slight it may be.

Scabbards long overdue.

Actually, I never even thought of that.

And I'm not knocking it, either. I've always been RP over Combat. Good job?

Better late than never. Uh, yes.

Yeah, I see it Erion.

And You said it would take arm balance? Does this mean that keeping my maces in my pack and doing the "unwield l/r, put mace in pack x2, get hammer from pack x2, wield l/r" is still going to be the best, safest, and fastest way to switch or wield weapons?

So, I made a frogge (frogge36136) and have a morningstar wielded (star27997) but I can't seem to sheathe the weapon...

According to the announce SHEATHE MORNINGSTAR should work I guess?


Oh and: What exactly IS a frogge? I couldn't find anything on google and the word doesn't appear in any dictionary I have. Anyone have a picture?

Are you wearing it?

and



There you go.

I'm going to make a froggie frogge. Because that would be neat.

Oh, and does anyone know the answer to the answer to my question?

Yes and Yes.
