Wounds, arrows and bullet shots

That does sound like a buttload of fun...

That part with body parts would have been a fun way to heal others tbh :p

Sliding a bit off-topic here, but re: longbows and bodkin arrows - I'd recommend Bernard Cornwell's historical novel 'Agincourt' for a reasonably balanced and plausible view of it.

By his interpretation, the longbow was certainly a crucial weapon at Agincourt. Arcing bow-shots killed horses and pierced older-fashioned plate, although the curved shape and high-quality steel of the more advanced Milanese plate worn by the richer French knights made them virtually immune to anything but a direct shot.

However, Cornwell cites other factors:

- Boggy, deep-ploughed ground slowed and scattered the French advance, leaving them tired, vulnerable and out of formation.

- Poor leadership and the absence of a coherent plan caused them to mostly just charge brainlessly into the centre and try to capture the English King or his nobles, hoping for a fat ransom. This left them facing the heaviest English infantry, and flanked by archers within direct-shot range.

- The poll-axe - many English knights' and men-at-arms' weapon of choice - was a formidable mediaeval can-opener, and a key weapon in neutralising the French armour advantage. (Billhooks were also used, but they were more of a commoner's weapon.)

- Archers were able to utilise bill-hooks, mallets and knives to outmaneuver and kill those knights who did reach their lines, though not without significant casualties among the archers.

It's all partly speculative, as records aren't 100% reliable on the subject, but his research is good and his reasoning sound, so I'd recommend it as a source.

It sure is! She even once replaced another Death Knights spine after it had been shattered in several places. That was a VERY long RP session of her cracking his ribcage open, sealing the flow of necrotic energy, and then putting him back together. He ended up being 2 inches taller.

Surprising, the living don't survive well when you harvest and swap organs, limbs, and other items. *Shrug* She's good with dead things, not so much the living. Though she does engage in minor stitching and surgery if people let her.

Wish she was there when Raen almost died
