I knew people who have/had LARPed befor back home and noticed the difference between how Shards of Orn works and the others that i've looked into. But their are a few things I can't figure out. Some of my friends back home(Texas) say that some rules will state what you can and can't use as weapons and only a set class or race can use a special weapon. Ex: Orcs can only use axes or clubs, Humans can use swords, bows and axes, Elfs can use bows, daggers and swords, and a Wizard can use a staff or dagger. Is that the case here and if so what is acceptable? And what are they allowed to be made out of?
Rasiri is correct. In fact, one of the lovely things here that doesn't exist in some other LARPs is the ability to, with no training, still pick up a weapon and use it at half damage. Naturally if you're going to be using a weapon on a regular basis you'll want training though. But they prefer not to limit your possibilities. Heck ^_~ They allow fairy savages. I'm pretty sure they'll allow anything within reason.
Welcome to Orn, Lokey. As far as weapons, the weapons construction link can be found here http://www.ornlarp.com/page/boffer-weapon-construction. If you are looking to purchase weapons, I would research the weapon's specifications and repost them here so that one of our prop marshalls could look into it and give you an answer, although it will still need to be inspected before you use it in an event. I hope this helps a bit, and can't wait to meet you at the opener hopefully!
Good. I'm more of a Lycan fan anyways. Twighlight ruined Vampires. Srry if you Like them. And Jacob is just a pain in the butt. And yes i've seen them. Long story but i have 4 sisters and worked a movie theater and saw it 2 days early and got payed to watch it so i rubbed it in their faces so they would shut up about it all....actually worked oddly. O and by the way....VAMPIRES DON'T SHINE LIKE DIMONDS!!!! Dang they ruined vampires. Sorry that they give you a bad image Bacchantebunny.
Psh, maybe to the teen populous. Thorne's very much not a twilight vampire. In fact, given the fact that she was a fairy to begin with, she -stopped- sparkling when she turned. But you can see that better in game. Our vampires are much more influenced by Anne Rice and Vampire the Masquerade. I might've gone the Dracula direction if the uordeq didn't have the Romanian niche filled. :P Maybe I should make plans to sire one.
Hey bro,let me be the first to say that i am actually really very excited to have you. Texas is amazing, plain and simple xD. And no, any class/race can use any weapon. It all depends on what rank of armed combat you can have. Let it be noted that i say this though, some classes have limits on them, like Rangers can only deliver their attacks through light weapons and bows, and rogues can only deliver their special attacks from behind a targets. This is the list of weapon sizes and damages, i hope it will serve you well and if ya got any more questions just ask man. http://www.ornlarp.com/game-guide/character-building/items/weapons
