Maul and war hammer do subdual damage?

I'll see your whiskey and raise you a Bourbon

Bourbon is a whiskey, distilled in the US from mash that is at least 50% corn.  (No longer only in  Kentucky.)

[jameswllorimer]

As the wiki article you quoted said.. it's 51% corn, as the corn distillate must be in the majority. Just an FYI

No,no my friend. It is better whiskey,calling it just whiskey is just.........wrong.

[paddyfool]

No,no my friend. It is better whiskey

Now them's fighting words ;-)

Does not make them any less true Bourbon is just better. So, so, so much better. And I pity someone who can't tell if his drink is whiskey or bourbon, he needs to drink better whiskey or bourbon. Or switch to Rum.

I had a nice 10 year old bourbon last night, and some whiskey, wine, a bit ol tequila and rum now to think about it. The Bourbon was just better 

Happy new years by the way .

As a wise man once said,

If it's not Scottish, it's crap.

I'm actually OK with someone preferring a weirdly altered subtype of whisky.  Just as long as they don't let ice anywhere near their water of life; that's worthy of the special hell, in my book  .

[Krensky]

Cask whiskey, those above 100 proof should be served mixed with water or ice otherwise you loose flavors to the alchohol.

Weaker whiskeys can be improved by water or ice, but it's a individual thing.

I finished off the last four fingers of Glenlivet 18 on Christmas Day, and yesterday uncorked a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask to toast the New Year. I'm not sure yet whether I like the Laphroaig--the Islay styles have not historically pleased me.

Oh, and mauls and stuff.

Eh at lest we seem to have folks who Know how to drink on here. That is always a pluse.

Ok back on topic..ya know you can't hurt undead with warhammers or mauls. Skeletons can not be crushed, zombies can't be mangled. Which is going on my list of things that are just wrong with hammers not doing real damage.

Water yes.  With some whisky, a drop of water can wake up whole new flavours.  With others, it merely kills flavours.  Ice never.

Already in the errata.

[Seekerofshadowlight]

Some whiskies are good with ice.



Umm where in the errata? The one I have says  about undead.

"It gains the  darkvision I  and  light-sensitive  NPC qualities at no additional cost, can’t fall unconscious, and is immune to Constitution damage, subdual and stress damage, diseases, and poisons, as well as the bleeding, paralyzed, sickened, and stunned conditions. It’s also immune to critical  injuries other than battered and broken limbs, suffering the former with any result below 30 and the latter with any other result. "

I checked before I posted. Have I over looked something somewhere? Nothing I have found changes that so far.

[Sletchman]

Skeletons have Archilles Heel: Blunt in the errata (the "fix").  With zombies and other undead / constructs / other immune things you are basicaly hosed (forced to suffer -4 and half damage).

Also check the Subdual entry - it does mention that if the damage should logically apply to the target, that it does.  So it really comes down to your GM agreeing that "Yes, that big ass hammer should smash apart a zombie", as opposed to an actual rule.

[Seekerofshadowlight]

I didn't see the skeleton thing. I did see the other thing however.  I was playing around with the book this morning and tolling around with character creation and thought" skeletons are now way tough". Can't but hurt by blunt, half damage from edged, immune to bows. That and the image of a bunch of little dwarfs beating away at a skeleton with warhammers shouting "we can'na d' it c'ptain!" Amused me.

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

I'd either go about converting the weapons to the type of damage you like, or just allowing for those you don't like to have variants that do lethal by default.

Every systems going to have weird bits.

Although in my case I really prefer non-lethal fights, so this works out better for me.
