− | + | The reason the training weapons exist at all is because in 28d, "sparring" consisted of the dwarves in question actually fighting with each other -- and if they used regular weapons, their sparring partners would develop regular injuries. The training weapons were a less-deadly alternative, though even then there were too many instances of dwarves crippling their squadmates. | |
− | + | However, sparring in .31 is decidedly different -- the dwarves "tap" the target instead of actually attacking. It's completely non-lethal training, even with adamantine edged weapons. So there is no training warhammer, nor is their a real need for them anymore. | |
− | + | On the other hand, if you just want a training warhammer for flavor or its own sake, crossbows raise the "hammer" skill and can be made of wood, so they're the next best thing."'' | |
Quote off the internet - if true, it should be added more clearly in the article. Is using wooden weapons safer or just a waste of military screen work? --[[User:Old Ancient|Old Ancient]] 00:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC) | Quote off the internet - if true, it should be added more clearly in the article.
