Seeking A Quality Bow.

[thewhiteknights(rarethorn) 27]

*Rarethorn posts up a poster in Salvus and Laumalin* 

 

ALL SKILLED CRAFTSMEN! 

 

I am looking for a quality bow to use in my battles. I would like these specifications 

 

 

-Light 

 

-Fit a 6,8 man 

 

- 80 pound draw 

 

-Smallest as these specifics can provide 

 

I have the string to string it but I need the bow itself. If you will bird me the price to these specifics then I will find my funds and pay. ((PM on forum or Bird me in game /msg thewhiteknights))

 

((Yes rarethorn is high maintenance :P))

William spots the poster, and frowns as he thinks to himself "if only I could find a bow like that..."

((awesome to see quality rp trade :) ))

(( I don't want to nitpick, but are you sure you want to be a 6'8" man? That usually means you have Marfan's Syndrome, which, in turn, means weak body structure, heart problems, hands that go past your knees, and you'll probably die before fifty. Bows take an enormous amount of arm strength to actual use, which I'm not sure someone with Marfan's Syndrome would have.

You can roleplay as a 6'8" man, but it's not about high maintenance. Your character is probably physically incapable of it. The average height of a man is 5'8", so you may want to scale it down to 6'4" at most. Otherwise, might be a bit powergamey. Just food for thought. ))

There's a massive difference between realism and fantasy. This is a trade thread, please keep on topic, there's already a thread for you to discuss heights of characters and it's not wanted in the Economy section, it's clutter and annoying to be told how to RP a character. Thanks. []

Ri'Skar romps through the apelands, a small Vyallu aside him. He decides to show Vyallu the city of Salvus, and in doing so; sees the posters pinned around Salvus. Interested in the idea of making some shinies for a bow, he pins up a reply with a dull, yellowed parchement that states in a dark-blue ink:

 

"Skar make bow. Bird to Skar, send. Bring shinies."

 

Skar, pleased with his reply, (though in reality the grammar is horrifying and the spelling atrocious) walks away from Salvus with Vyallu, awaiting a bird to arrive with Rarethorn's reply, confident that such a bow would be no hard task for a Kharajyr, despite wanting quite the sum of money in return.

(( Oh! Pardon me, then. ))

(( There isn't too much of a difference. The race of men is still the same, so they wouldn't grow taller than around 6'4" without a genetic mutation, and Marfan's Syndrome is the genetic mutation that causes that. I understand it is annoying, but I think it's best to let him know about the height problem now than later. Of course, he's actually playing an elf, so the height thing I mentioned doesn't actually apply...))
