From Stone to Steel
From the
dawn of history, mankind has made war. In every age and
civilization, people have developed tools of warfare. From the
remotest primitive tribe to the greatest empire, every culture
has created weapons for hunting, protection, conflict, and
defenses against the same. The record of history measures their
successes and failures. No campaign world could ever hope to be
as varied and diverse as our own. Despite fantastic races and
locations, every fantasy world recycles themes mirrored in our
own histories, myths, and culture. But many cultures go
unnoticed or un-examined in role playing games. Many games
become limited by our narrow views of what fantasy is, and can
be. No longer.
'From Stone to Steel' is a book of weaponry and armor, but it is
also an examination of history and cultures. From age to age,
every culture has approached similar ends and concepts with its
own unique perspective. 'From Stone to Steel' is not a simple
list of items, but an explanation of their use, their cultural
significance, even their drawbacks. Besides weapons and armor,
'From Stone to Steel' contains new feats, new subskills, new
prestige classes, and new mechanics. Through each chapter,
topics like tactics, special materials, training, and culture
are discussed, so that they can be understood and placed in any
campaign world. And though these items are based in history,
suggestions are made for their inclusion in fantasy world.
You'll even find items of myth, fantastic construction
materials, new spells to augment weapons and armor, even
inclusion of fantasy racial items (based, where possible, on
myth or legend).
From stone-age primitives to the height of the Renaissance,
history is in your hands. From 'Stone to Steel' - Never look at
d20 gaming the same way again!
