  1. Musin Wingsuits Why Musin? The simple answer is that Musin have an extremely low muscle mass, and therefore a low weight comparative to their body. Description Musin Wingsuits are designed to give the user the ability to glide. Most Musin or people with some experience can create them. The 'wings' are created out of fabrics or any material available that is viable. The material is double layered, and is sealed on the outsides. The first layer of the wing (The 'first' being the one facing the ground) is punctured in a specific array carefully that allows for air to be trapped within the wing and slow downward movement. The wings are attached directly to leather which can be strapped around a leg or arm. The leather should cover as much surface area as possible, only leaving the knees, elbows, or any points that need to move uncovered. For the midsection of the body, a piece of wood or hardened leather can be used to bind the wings to the body, thus increasing the surface area that the wings are connected to. The purpose of this is to catch the air as you descend, slowing down your speed, and transferring that into forward movement. It is imperative that there is little spacing between the body and the wings. A successful wingsuit would also boast fabric in between the legs, helping to steer and glide better. The fabric between the legs of the user would not have the same holes as the wings, and would be slightly looser than the primary wings. The purpose of this is to allow slightly more air to escape through the secondary wings, and propel you forward. Usage Putting on the wingsuits depends on the model. The most sensical option would have whatever holds the wing to your body strap on with laces like a boot or belt straps. A good order for equipping the suit and it’s parts would go as such: main body, upper legs, lower legs, lower arms, and upper arms. Walking with the suit on is somewhat awkward. It would not allow for a full range of motion with your legs, but not restrict it entirely. The secondary wings would make it easy to trip on terrain other than flat. The loosely hanging fabric (if used) would make it easy for it to get snagged on. In general, the suit would be quite uncomfortable and annoying for long term use. Redlines Wingsuits DO NOT allow the user to fly. ONLY GLIDE. Wingsuits CANNOT be used to reach higher locations (there are exceptions). Users that are not considered light cannot use this invention. It simply does not make sense. The heavier, the more you will fall instead of glide. Extra Notes Wingsuits could possibly be used for any race, though I believe it’s the most viable with Musin with the current technology developed in the world of LOTC (there could be much more I do not know about, but I am going off of what I see).

  2. DWARVEN REPEATING CROSSBOW This crossbow was invented by grilthram grandaxe using a simple gear and teeth to contract the string, load a bolt, and release all in one fluid motion. The length of the crossbow is the size of any regular crossbow, as well as the width of the crossbow is for the most part unaltered. What makes this crossbow stand out however is its loading and firing mechanisms, as well as its weight and overall cumbersome nature. The mechanics As stated before the main frame of the crossbow stays the same it shoots with as much strength as any other crossbow however the difference here being that it shots are much much faster. Now let's jump right in a wooden rail rests on the flight groove sliding back and forth up and down the length of the cross bow. The wooden rail has on one of the sides teeth for gears to connect and pull it back up the length of the crossbow. It would look like this (Fig1) except it would be upside down resting on the sides of the flight groove connected at the back. Now at the very back of the wooden rail would rest the string and a small groove for the bolts to lay to be flung forward and down the crossbow and at the enemy. That is the loading and firing portion of the device now lets return back to (Fig 1) The large gear seen here would have a handle on it so that the user would be able to rotate the gear causing the wooden rail to move back towards the end of the cross bow loading another bolt to be shot. Now let's move onto the next part the ammo, Above the back end of the device resting on the sight bridge is a large container of ammo that can be clipped on and off of the the crossbow to reload see (Fig2) It is suggested that when firing the device one lays down or rests against a stable object this will allow for long range firing as it presents the user with a more accurate way to control and fire the weapon. On the bottom of the weapon, a bipod would also be located for mounting the weapon as well as a long stock for resting it on the shoulder. Firing the weapon itself requires one to be prone or resting on a solid surface. Rolls are -3 accruacy for each shot and you can only shoot every 3 seconds as it will take a few intervals of turning the crank to pull back and fire the weapon. Only those taught by grilthram would have the knowledge of how the gears turn and function correctly. Any knock offs would be very dangerous and likely to cause injury in usage. An LT must over must over see the contruction of the device. (Fig1) (Fig 2) PROS The device offers quick repeat heavy shots of crossbow bolts at any range depending on the way the user is holding it. the crossbow can only be fired mounted on a bipod or a solid surface having the stock rest on top of the shoulder. In dire situations one may be able to get 1 or 2 shots off in mid-close combat but those shots will take a -5 accuracy penalty. It can be used to suppress enemies or fire into large groups of enemies with varying success depending on the situation at hand. Cons It is very clunky so much more than your average crossbow because of the ammo cartridge making it very hard to transport around as one must always use care as not to break the delicate machinery within. The user must be quite strong as to rotating the gears would require a lot of strength to use as well as carrying the weapon around so only dwarves, humans, uruks, and the occasional buff elf. Loading can take some time and the ammo required will take up a lot of space as well anyone carrying this would be weighed down heavily in battle. The parts required to make are all custom made so its much more expensive than your average crossbow however much more deadly as well. It must be mounted to be fired accurately shooting from the hip will likely injure comrades as the weapon as no sights to aim from. It can only shoot 7 bolts at a time per ammo container.
  3. Hello everyone, I am here to present you some RP I have done lately. Everything written here, is based on what we know of Redstone. See ==> https://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/97078-redstone-wiring-and-its-properties/ For more information. Based on my research done in game: http://imgur.com/aBb1ayW,vyCg6hG,nKYpHay,aq6Ku0k,uEq6yGi,vB3qQeo,yGDy8UU#0 Lightning bolts, being too powerful to be held down and controlled needs to be reduced. By that idea, Jeth created a Coil Capacitor with a ground ( http://imgur.com/4Hmdhqs ), that will remove all the extra energy that can't be held inside the redstone blocks. A certain % (About 20%) of the lightning bolt is held in those capacitors and can be used for basic use, but it can only be used one time (since the electricity will be discharged in whatever way in finds). These equations can demonstrate the logic behind these (The signal is lost after 15 redstone block and needs to be re-activated) P(15)=I(15)xR(rl) Therefor, I(a)=P(v)/R(rl) R(rl)=P(v)/I(a) P=The power in total (How many blocks in can send energy to I=How many blocks are left to be powered (Lets say P is at 10, then I is at 5) R= Resistive load, anything that drains the energy There's also the W, (PxI) which means how strong it is (and most likely if it will knock you out, kill you or just tickle you) And we can do up to couples of side stuff with such research, maybe the use of redstone lamps, but I wasn't able to research on those, yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This knowledge, we all know it, but to put it to good use? Jeth created a balistica, or should I say modified it. (Nothing too advanced in technology). The principle is quite logical behind the weapon, we attach a redstone rope to the arrow that will be shot down to the undead enemies. Lightning will be furnished by their attack (since there's always lightning when they attack) and we use their own force against themselves. The ground around them (Clay, as where I am currently RP) would conduct the electricity (energy) and give a big shock (maybe fatal for undeads, to be tested). (picture of actual build http://imgur.com/LEjuUFq ) All these research have been funded by both Vanderfell and Polaris
