    Dascombe's Armour & Weapons Thread

    Actually that wound depend entirely on the bite force of the Viper and as far as I remember Vipers rely on... Well. Venom/Ambush tactics irl. Not to mention anyone who'd be wearing mail/plate would have layered armor beneath since plates only cover so much and would be combined with mail and padded armor, you can maybe argue that padded armor wouldn't be too common, sure, but that's typically, as far as I remember, what is worn beneath mail of all kinds and even then wouldn't be hard to come by in the slightest even in such a situation like the islands with as many former military/warrior type personnel are about in terms of races who would use such like Humans. (Though would totally be a bitch to swim in given how much water it'd take in aylmao.) I know this is, well, a medieval stuff thread but Vipers are sluggish ambush predators that hardly ever give chase, "This is because many vipers rely on their camouflage for protection rather than their ability to move quickly. They are more inclined to blend in with the surrounding brush, rocks or ground cover when being approached by a predator than to slither away.", the closest comparison from IRL vipers of similar size would be a Gaboon Viper which is beyond passive and only strikes when directly threatened, such as accidentally being stepped on but despite that is typically handled with relative ease. Bushmaster too, perhaps? Unsure, at any rate. Either way I can't find anything on the type of bite force Vipers have to try to scale it up, but, y'know. Also in terms of the Tauren/Spear stuff, while they'd do well to use massive weapons, longer reach weapons like spears/pikes (Not that WoW actually has any of these, all the spear models blow) would absolutely be more effective against Tauren, Ogres, anything large, just logically. Not that it quite matters here given the lack of armies and such but a Tauren charging is more or less just like a Cavalry charge and if you spearwall that shit it's GG.
