What About a New Glyph for Throwing Melee Weapons!

[Darkco]

What about a gyph who can give a chance to the poors guys with one range attack. A trowing melee weapon glyph. Like trowing a sword or an axe or a lance. Let say +2 or 3 hex what do you think of that. I a real combat it is realistic to see trowing melee weapon.

But if you threw your weapon how would you attack again...

I think you mean "throwing" Darkco.

Maybe think of it as a discarded weapon lying on the ground (like a spear maybe) and you use it once and done.

I like the idea. It could be the "Glyph of Trowin". It gives non-ranged figures +3 to their range, but may only use it once. Then they place the spear under the figure it was used on. Well your at it, we should just make "Glyph of Trowin Fah" with a range of +8.

What if the glyph gave melee weapons a 'magic beam' of sorts, like in Zelda. It could be -1 attack, but plus two range, and your choice to use it or not.

As for what they'd use if they threw their swords; fists.

How would this apply to the Shaolin Monks or Woo? They fight with their fists already the can't really throw anything.

I like it, Glyph of Trowin, actually sounds like something. Maybe make it a glyph you can pick-up and use later. Once you step on it you may place it on the army card of the unit that grabbed it. Then once for the game (instead of using an attack on the unit's card), one of the members of the unit can use it for one ranged attack (+3 range sounds right).

Glyph of Trowin Fah...

That's why I like the concept of an energy beam of sorts shot from a melee weapon.

You never read a real Chinese Kungfu novel, right? People with at a very high level of martial art can attack from distance using the force created by their body part with internal energy!

Here's a tip: Don't be too literal in game with walking, talking robots, Greeks and Romans ON THE SAME TEAM, Orcs bonding with a troll and dragon THAT AREN'T FROM THEIR PLANET, ghosts that can be shot dead, cyber gorillas with blasters, evil aliens that breed like rabbits, and much, much more! I hope you didn't take that the wrong way........

How about he made a valid point that a fist or a foot is not a melee "weapon" so his literal translation is 100% waranted?

Or we could have a "terrain throwing special attack glyph!" Then even Shaolin monks could throw rocks or dirt clods or snowballs or whatever was on the ground.
