My first thought: great spear assassin. But I'm not sure that it's actually better with spears. Anyway it's an elegant design.

I think Song affinity makes a lot of sense for elves.

However, it's not very explicit, but I always imagined this was referring to some song-like magic:
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,...

Of these, Wights are the ones which feel most wrong to me to reduce armour for. That's partly from a feeling of being unconvinced how many strokes from a dagger could stop them, and partly from...

Sharp and famously sharp is quite elegant. If it played well enough I'd be in favour. (To make 'sharp' more distinct from extra damage it might be good if there were a couple more monsters with no...

Some really good points here, thanks. (I'm still interested in achieving the goal but it does seem tricky.)

Interesting thought! Or possibly:
- Blunt penetration reduces the number of sides of protection dice (e.g. 3d4 -> 3d3)

Sil-Q Review

Neither half nor I have had much time for Sil in a while. We were interested to read about the changes being wrought in Sil-Q. More recently, I spent several hours exploring 1.4.1. I had a few...

Normal sharp weapons halve protection. Angrist is unique in ignoring it completely.

I'd expect it to be your best weapon against some but not all enemies. It could also be effective with rapid...

Serephina, thanks for pulling attention back to that.

It's more plausible that polearms are systematically weak, but I'm still not sure. We did balance them by looking at numbers, and spears...

I'm not convinced by the case that spears are too weak. As commented above, they are often a great choice for low-strength characters.

At STR 0, with Finesse, a 3lb spear does 1d11 damage...

No birthday release this year

Although we normally try to release a new version of Sil on Tolkien's birthday, half is and has been travelling, so 1.3 will be delayed. Apologies to anyone who was waiting for it!

I'd wondered before about making bastard swords 2d5, but that would make three swords with the same damage numbers, and probably be confusing.

I agree that there's something odd here. I'm not sure there's a natural solution. Perhaps stealth (or perception?) should help you to move carefully and not throw up spores?
