He meant how do swords and arrows break and mangle limbs and organs?

Did you even read the topic at all?

I do, but the way the question been asked and the ridiculous leet talk abreviations of the first post warrant a stupid answer.

I only ever saw broken arrows, not mangled ones. The only time I saw a mangled sword was on the MtG card, "Ray of Distortion".

You know, I noticed that the average intelligence level of this forum is gradually falling down as the popularity of the game is growing.

Also, english is not my first language. Bite me.

That's what the [SPELLING_AND_GRAMMAR_NAZI] tags are for.  To show that we're just being picky, rather than we think you're dumb.

I am not sure I understand what you mean, or what that mean. Something is sure though, I do not particularly appreciate being compared to a nazi in WW2, which I think is was the point of the whole thing?

No, no, no!   ;)

It isn't directed at you, it is self directed.  To put words between tags such as [grammar nazi], is to say that you are just being a perfectionist, and correcting everything, even if it doesn't matter.

In a more understandable way (I think I poorly worded the above):

If I post
[GRAMMER_NAZI]*some text from a post, edited to be better*[/GRAMMER_NAZI]

That means *I* am being a grammar nazi, or perfectionist; and am taking it to the point that I am correcting everyone's posts, rather than solely my own.

It doesn't imply anything at all about poster of the imperfect post.

Punching in the face and yelling "I am a jerk" doesn't make you less of a jerk.

No idea what either of you are talking about.  Please refrain from interfering with my attempt to clear up Eagle of Fire's confusion as to what "[grammar_nazi]" means.

Hey grammar Nazis, do you agree that foreign policy effected the situation in Iraq?

An +adamantine shortsword+ always cuts off limbs, from my use of it.

It's fun to have many of every adamantine weapon, and some giant axe blades and spears to throw.

Ah, but the greatest of all is an adamantine capped ballista bolt.
