Aventurier Armor (NOW WITH PICTURES)

[DR.]

I really like this idea of having those 1 handed crossbows, warband conquest has already dark elvish 1h crossbows, and natives pistol works pretty much like you described above, reloading while walking (but not running), so all it would need is basically another animation, sound (if it won't use those modern swadian fire-crossbow-invention thingy aka flintlocks)

Maybe making it possible to use those one handed crossbows in an alternative mode, so that there can be a more accurate two handed shot, while the one handed is less accurate yet just still as powerful. (longer reload time one handed aswell?)
Removing too much damage from these one handed crossbows makes them too similar in damage rating of javelins/arrows


As for making Crossbow Gloves/Boots and the problem with players owning  Swadian Boots / Gauntlets / Studded Gauntlets, just like there was a possibility to change a swadian great helmet to a swadian helmet in the past (as there was some change in helmets. The other possibility would be to make "Studded" Boots , that can be used by the same classes that can use the studded gaunts. also adding lightened swadian gaunts/boots //helmets (//for inf) to compliment other armor parts is an easy fix to this issue. Another way would be to allow transmutation of similar armors (Studdeds to noble gaunts, elmwood bow to ebony ...)


EDIT: i just overflew one full page of replies, to what woody said, it is just as viable to just make those small changes mentioned above, yet the thing about 1handed crossbow surely brings some attention. (people love firearms. so why not give the old swadian technology an upgrade?)

Right now I'm not convinced about the crossbow idea. If I wanted to play more of a ranged character on xbow it would be repeater or cm. Having the ability to reload and run or walk at the same time is a interesting idea but I don't think we would need more crossbows to do it. It could be a skill this hero has by default.
