EDPT WEAPON PROJECT
EDPT WEAPON PROJECT
The "book of arrows" nothing left to tell.
This book is about the use of dualweapons, which a lot of t'skrang swordmasters prefer. Some dual weapons of the Cathay are also introduced beside normal dual weapons.
The "Book of Swords" contains swords from a lot of different races, from the crystalraider- to human tribe- and several windling blades. Some magical swords and some optional rules are given.
The Weapon Project files are not available at the moment because EDPT has been hacked. When those files are online again, I'll link them.
