I'm thinkin' of makin' a bag full of rocks (5-10) to tie at my waist. Any comments? Pro's, Con's?

con: wasting time (and maybe getting killed) while fumbling in your sack to find your next rock
con: it might get in the way of movement (especially running)
con: you'd have a large bulge on your side that if hit, you'd have to take it as a hit to the body (anvil rule)

also, missles are re-usable...just have one rock throw it, pick it up, repeat
what can five rocks do that one cant?
nothing significant

I can also make a foam baseball bat (club) that I can use to knock peoples' rocks back at them.

I don't think it would count as a hit if I hit them in the head though.

i think it probably would count as a hit.

same as throwing a javie back at someone counts

haha with a bag of rocks and two daggers, Elyk runs bravely (very bravely) into battle...

rocks and daggers...fun but not too effective.

rocks, i believe, count as a hit no matter how they got there, if they hit an unarmored head.

I can't find anything one way or another in the rules, but that's what I've heard.

now what you need to do is have one person with the bag of rocks AND the foam club... use that to launch the rocks over the enemy wall.

of course, you'd have very little accuracy, and the rocks should not be solid enough to fly that far....

Instead of a bag, try making a bunch of rock-sized pockets incorporated into your garb, that way they don't hinder your movement. And it's easier access.

Or a bag attached to the backside of a shield.

I've heard people have used that with varying degrees of success.

or you make it so the bag is one big rock. Throw the smaller rocks and if someone rushes toss the entire bag at them

Yea? DO you have a design? Or idea?
