Why only 2 bows if it is up to 16 people on a team? Just curious?

I'll make more comments after I have time to sit down with the rules set and poke it around.

damn cut and paste.honestly its one of the things i didn't consider changing from last year. If you can convince me to change it i'll consider changing the number of bows.

Well the rulebook says 1 per 5. Just wondering why you'd do it different than that.

Same question on the only 2 knightly classes.

I bet money the Knightly restrictions is to keep the res-monkeys to a moderate level.

Otherwise Aqua Team Super Force People Things Movie might show up with a team chuck full of armored res-monkeys (aka Paladins)

What's wrong with that?

There are a number of things in the rules set that need to be looked at. I just want to get all my questions organized before I post.

I dont find anything wrong with it, but someone else obviously does...

It can't be that Sirrakhis. They added in the ability to have an extra healer and the 8 extra res's they bring.

As it is they have also made it where offensive spellcasting will be greatly reduced now that every single team member has access to a pro magic.

Well, then maybe Aqua Teen Hunger Force Team Movie THing is simply being held back from haveing a bunch of people that have buku spell imunity, res's and armor...

An entire team of which is silly, but restricting it at all isnt a game anymore...

There are already ratios in place in the game already.

Mage Class 1:10 players
Archer 1:4 (or is it 1:5?)

Is WBW not a Battlegame? Sure...having a team with a bull line of archers woulfd be tough, but should still be doable. Allowing for only Four mages per team regardless of typ is still fine...1:10 remember? They've actually let this slide a little...but having two wizards and two druids is enough firepower to nuke the other team without much help.

So what happens then?

I know what i will do if i get to play druid on their arses...

...run right up and waste 10pts of verbals killing all their rezzers and 4+ more of their team from 50 before they are done getting their own enchantments going.

But then again. Now that I have said that...another rule may come into play.

I cant believe mass spells are being restricted, those th9ings make the game intense...its like hearing a clock ticking before doomday is going. (example..i know...not feasible these days..no one can even cast it in a timely manner anymore).

anyhow...done here...again.

Well, after springwar I can see why doomsday gets restricted in a smaller team on team battlegame. TWO doomsdays got pulled off at springwar, it is more annoying than anything else and in a smaller game with less than 30 people involved it really is rather pointless.

Thats actually a carryover from previous years. WBW has not allowed mass spells for several years now.

where in the current rule book is the 1per 5 rule? no persasion for any change yet.

Amtgard rules of play version 7.2 page 13 under battlegame rules number 3 limits there to be no more then 1 bow per 5 people.

With 16 man teams that would be 3 bows per team max allowed.

Why are you upping the ratio to 1 to 8?
Why are you limiting it to 2 knightly classes allowed to be fielded?
