| 2 hours ago | comment | added | Abion47 | @FlyingLemmingSoup Seems like the answer is pretty straightforward then. Giant fireballs might be a thing of the past, but it shouldn't take much magic to accelerate a tiny projectile to supersonic speeds with little to no recoil. Add in guerilla tactics and military marksman training regimen that places an emphasis on highly accurate shots to crucial points on the bodies of larger races, and you've got the makings of one of the more brutal fighting forces on the planet. | |
| 9 hours ago | comment | added | FlyingLemmingSoup | @Abion47 Technically, this is post-apocolyptic fantasy world Wild West. Magic has been diminishing, and has been for thousands of years. Its still around by this point, but the days of wizards casting fireballs is long past. Races like fairies have innate magical potential that hasn't gone away, but in a couple more centuries (around the tecno-magic cyberpunk period) they'll need to start taking concentrated magical supplements just to survive. The reason it's post-apocolyptic is because the world was literally flat at one point, but the decline of magic caused it to collapse to a globe. | |
| 10 hours ago | comment | added | Abion47 | Are there any other fantasy tropes at play or is this universe literally just WWI era Earth where fantasy races also happen to exist but are effectively human in every way other than visually? | |
| 13 hours ago | comment | added | dan04 | Perhaps it would be more effective to have fairies use crew-served weapons. | |
| 13 hours ago | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @FlyingLemmingSoup I tried to express how badly fairies and firearms go together. Yes, you can do that, if you insist, like my comparison proposal. | |
| 14 hours ago | comment | added | FlyingLemmingSoup | @Peter-ReinstateMonica Any particular reason you're being so crude? | |
| 15 hours ago | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | Next you'll ask us to design a strap-on for Galadriel? | |
| 17 hours ago | comment | added | FlyingLemmingSoup | @MindwinRememberMonica I didn't clarify in the OP, but perhaps I should have. They're the winged variant, and they can fly while carrying cargo equal to their own body weight, so they could fly with a 1lb gun. | |
| 17 hours ago | comment | added | Mindwin Remember Monica | Are these tiny fairies winged, or the three-apples ground variant (blue or otherwise)? Some answers may depend on this information (the one I was thinking to post does). | |
