Weapons in general

Please add all the weapons wich need to be in our mod to this list.
IMPORTANT: Just add the "normal" weapons to this list. That means: only weapons wich have no special name or aren't legendary weapons...
Just write the weapon-name (no special explanations) and please in a red colour.
Example:
1. Iron-Sword
2. Iron-Longbow
And so on...

3.Rapier
4.Hunting Bow
5.Dwarven 'Urgal Horn' bow
6.Elven Bow
(possibilites)
7.Dark elven sword
8.dark elven Dagger
9. Falchion
10. Scimitar
11. claymore/Bastard sword

3.Rapier
4.Hunting Bow
5.Dwarven 'Urgal Horn' bow
6.Elven Bow
(possibilites)
7.Dark elven sword
8.dark elven Dagger
^^ both very deadric like.

Don't you need different grades of weapon?

So:

12. Steel sword
13. Dwarven sword
14. Iron axe
15. Steel axe
16. Dwarven Axe
17. Iron dagger
18. Steel dagger
19. Dwarven dagger
20. Iron Halberd
21. Steel Halberd
22. Dwarven Dagger

etc.

We need to decide whether we'd have Dwarven weapons for everything and Elven weapons for everything, or just some things, like whatever they specialise in. (I put down Elven arrows at the end of this post because we already have Elven bow).

Also:

23. Quarter Staff

BTW is it even possible to have iron longbows? Bows need flexibility - hence the use of wood. You don't need iron because it's not the thing you're stabbing with. On that note:


24. Iron Arrows
25. Steel Arrows
26. Elven Arrows

Two handed weapons:

27. Dwarven Battleaxe

28. Fredric's blade

^ The massive sword of Fredric from "Eragon". Fredric's sword is described as a massive blade.

And for those that dont remember Fredric was the guy at the training grounds at Farthen Dûr who was to test Eragon in Swordsmanship before the Twins arrived.

Would that come under legendary weapons or not? :s

I'm confused about the difference between them. I just thought legendary weapons were simply one-off weapons, regardless of how powerful they were.

Na it shouldn't go in Legendary because Fredric is brefly described in one chapter in "Eragon" and is never heard from again. It would be wise not to consider him or his features legendary.

you mentioned a spear, would this be a spear to be thrown, stabbed with, or a combination of the two?

A spear to stab, parry and slice with was my intention, but the idea of a thrown spear that could be picked up again would be cool, slice a Wolf's neck upon then throw the spear at his leaping buddy, rip it out of his body in time to block a wolf's jaws clamping down on your jugular.

I'd also like to add one of my favourites:
33. Ascudgalmn, the Dwarf-Only Knuckle Weapon!
Maybe, there is even a small random chance of permanently damaging your hand bones durign the drilling process (only available in a Dwarven city) and you get a permanent debuff against Unarmed attacks?

expanding on this maybe each race can a have a different enhancement for their melee? dwarves get their fists of steel, elves and human can have the knuckle callouses like eragon has and urgals can have steel caps on the end of their horns. what do you think?

Heh the callouses might look ugly I dunno.

Maybe we could create a dwarf NPC Smith of renowned fame and skill ( from Buragh for example ) that can get the Ascudgalmn on anyone.

By the way.. Wil it be possible to play a dwarf or an urgal?

I think that they are non playable characters

yeah we hope so

well i thought we were adding them as they were included into the riders pact?

which would mean that we would have to create another two races along with the dark elves and the ra'zac (npcs though)

Yeah we had a discussion about playing as urgals or dwarves and IMO if we are gonna make them anyway (npc's) we might aswell make them playable.

The Urgals, Dwarves, Humans and Elves (Not Dark) will be playable, any race that is included in the Rider's Pact past, present and near-future
Remember the mod is set a decade or two after the end of the books, so it's likely that your character if it's an Urgal or Dwarf will be the first rider of their kind, may even be nice to have some problems to overcome included in the tutorial/training in Ellesmera (unless they train in Eragon's Place now), I think in that amount of time there'll only be 3-5 new riders (alongside Eragon, Murtagh and Arya) at most.
Two of them will be Masters in the Rider Academy for training, and the others (1-3) will be peace-makers, ambassadors and warriors; they can act as moving quest hubs that roam Alagaesia with quests and training exercises from the Rider's Council, it might be fun to have one go rogue at some point and you either kill him or get him to change his mind.

well the riders give an egg to each species once a year and then the switch if it doesn't hatch until it does so there would be quite a lot of riders but i like your travelling quest hub idea

Back on topic I forgot to add one of my favourite weapons
Hûthvír - The blade-tipped staves that Dwarven Priests use and some other characters have managed to obtain.

An idea I had a while back, albeit extremely a pain in the butt would be that you select your ores, create ingots, then go to the forge as usual. Now instead of having 12 different sword types (falchion,arming sword, scimitar), you select say "steel sword", and then you have an option of styles to create it in, and each would have a slight stat difference. So for 2 steel ingots + leather strips you could create a steel long sword, steel falchion, steel yahdah yahdah... you get it. What do you think of this system?

Edit: I also think it would be cool to have different swords from different regions that have similar stats, much like the forsworn weapons, I know I'm throwing stuff out there. That look different from each other.

Great idea!
