Since I there seem to be quite a few fanfic authors here, And I am a bit of an expert on ancient and medieval warfare and combat, I have a question for you. Would anyone be interested if I put together some words on hos to visualize real sword fighting and weapon use as a source of inspiration for those of you who want to write action, but don't feel confident about doing it?
Oh please! Yes!
Maybe you have an idea how classes and specializations could be translated into an actual fighting style?
Is fighting with two swords even possible? What would be the difference between a rogue and a dw warrior?
And do you know anything about armor? I've been doing some research and found out that chainmail is heavier than plate armor. Also I don't know what kind of armor people would wear while traveling if they wore any. Leathers, I suppose? Would someone carry a shield around all the time?
I have a hard time getting this right as my DA world is supposed to be closer to the real middle ages and ... maybe more ... um,
European? Well, that's what I want it to be anyway. (e.g. no running around in plate or chainmail without any reason, no mages available for healing, no miracle literacy)
