Bows and arrows have killed a very large number of both two and four-legged critters over the years, along with a fair number of finned ones as well.

Thank you for sharing the video! It'll be useful for anyone who wants to play a barbarian or use any of the Wanderer rules out there.

I bet you that against TL10+ opponents in armor, most stone weapons (arrows, knives, maces, axes, and etc) will break instead of dealing damage, however. Maybe do bludgeoning damage, depending on force and padding.

That would depend on the Armor type and what is being used on it. Unless the head is protected as well, that represents a very attractive target. Also, you do eventually have to take the armor off, and unless you are doing that and then staying in a secure area, you again at vulnerable.

I found a video of a guy using a Medieval War Hammer against Level IIIA body armor. Not surprisingly, it went through. I will try to get it posted later. It should be noted that the body armor is a bit bulky, sort of like an umpire's chest protector.

Yeah, definitely. I imagine that most modern armor would cover the head as well automatically, but then again, helmets *do* get taken off... :smirk:
