What do bagpipes have to do with this thread?

Does anyone else think midget sized crossbows like those on the hoburgs should be weaker? Seems to me a 3 foot tall hoburg would be incredibly challenged to shoot a full size crossbow. Maybe they use their feat?

And then come back a year later and raise the thread from the dead.

It happens.
Oh. I guess that's what I did.

When this thread was alive the first time (not resurrected) there was a thread made mocking it called something like "Bagpipes vs. Oboes" or something. I'm pretty sure everyone agreed that Bagpipes were superior, so it never made "Thread Behemoth" status like this one...and I'm not even certain it was oboes or some other inferior instrument that couldn't hold a candle to the bagpipe.

You mean this thread?

That thread made me laugh. Pretty good job of making fun of this thread. I guess I should keep that in mind when getting particular about game or historical detail.

On the other hand, you may just find something useful here. ;)
And on the subject of hoburg x-bows, I'd just make them same damage, but slower to reload.
Someday I am going to read this entire thread. Surely. :D

Halflings, being smart, and living in a world with bigger folk, would just have regular crossbows - with 2 or 4 hoburgs manning them. At least, I enjoy the image.

It seems to me a crossbow is like Viagra. It lets an old bugger go on a little longer.

I don't think we have properly expounded on the actual arrowhead used. That alone could make quite a difference. A nice, aerodynamical head, or a killing head? Stone, bronze, or iron? Explosive, flaming, or conventional?

Arrowheads with spinning drillbits?
