All edge weapons, especially on slash attacks.
The blunt weapons actually have more or less reasonable contact areas.

Not sure what you mean by "scale", though. Elaborate, please?

If all the weapons have these 'ridiculous' surface areas, and larger weapons all have proportionately more, than perhaps its intended.  I would even guess that whatever number you are looking at is a different unit than creature units.

Its clear that blunt weapons operate differently than slashing weapons, so Im not sure how they'd relate.  Likely when slashing gets converted.

[Baffler]

A short sword blade edge is apparently 200 times bigger than the surface area of an average human upper body.

It's not a sword, it's a fucking shredder.

There are people who seriously discuss the prospects of battle between Nazi Germany and First age Middle Earth - Tamriel alliance.

There are people who think that Nazi Germany could win that.

wut da fack

Ok... is this occuring in Nazi Germany, or the fantasy realms, or is there some kind of portal between them or something?

Because if Germany is actually physically present in this battle to provide supplies and stuff... yeah, they would win!

ME isn't even a contender because Tolkien made magic in that world rare and special; good from a writing perspective, not going to help orcs and gondorians against submachine guns.

Tamriel is... weird to even discuss, and depends on what you count as canon.  I don't even mean that from a lore perspective.  How big is Tamriel?  Do twenty people live in each city?  A hundred?  Or is actually thousands and the lack of people is just an engine limitation?  How common is magic?  Which portrayal of magic is real, which player uses of magic count as real or not?

Anyway, those games are based on the premise that one person who's skilled at one or two aspects of fantasy adventuring can kill hundreds of adult, armed humanoids in this world.  I think its pretty clear that Nazis would fuck shit up for most of the world, even if some fantasy weirdness did them in at the end.

First age Middle Earth. The one with Morgoth in it. The one with armies of balrogs. The one with Numenor in it.

Nazis have nothing on this level of hax.

I think the Nazis would win. The balrog in Moria was damn near dead after falling as far as it did, so why wouldn't a few shells from a PAK 44 do some damage? And a panzer crew would only laugh if people started shooting arrows and tiny balls of fire moving slowly enough to be dodged at it. Not to mention having things like trucks and aviation to move their own supplies and disrupt the enemy's, which are no doubt being carried by animal teams and wagons. Some of the more dangerous beasties might give them a run for their money, but victory would inevitably be theirs.

WTF did this thread turn into?

The future of Nazi-Fantasy war.

[Sergarr]

I used scripts from here (made by Urist Da Vinci) which allow me to basically see the actual underlying variables of combat. By using them I can predict, for example, will a weapon cut through something or not. These predictions so far have always been true (except for cases involving ridiculous number, but that's because overflows).

(hell, just look at this post. No mention of any conversion for slashing.)

[TamerVirus]

Do the Nazis have MechaHitler, stupid jetpacks, and the Flammenwerfer?

I dont think there is any bug.  But if you do, report it.

Nope.  Good old fashioned superiority complexes and efficiency.  Maybe the flamethrower.

Human preparation beats magic.  Which is interesting because magic is the fantasy equivalent of preparation, if I remember D&D rules correctly.

This made me go "WTF?" today.

[Frumple]

Something like 2 1/2 hour long phone call, working with person on the other end, as well as other people from an involved third party, trying to get a computer system to acknowledge that, yes, I exist and am who I say I am.

Failed.

The existence of enough faces to palm is as existent as invisible pink unicorns. Not even facewindshields encompass the sheer palming of this scenario.

[Descan]

I just hung something sorta- heavy off my pinky, then picked up my phone, and my pinky just kind of spazzed out randomly. It was just a small lock? But my pinky acted like i was trying to lift a boulder.

It has a crunchy shell outside, but something in the cooking process turns the chicken inside to a disgusting mush.

I ran an RtD about something like that once. No, wait, twice. Actually, I'm constantly developing a relevant setting, up to date. Right here in my head.

*snorts* The fight was between Nazi Germany and freaking NIRN. The Redguards alone stomp. They have 100 man units of blademasters. Who, for reference, are each good enough with a blade to cause Nuke+ explosions with each strike. Or a wizard mathematically proves them out of existence. Or a god gets pissed, and destroys the history of Germany. Or a thief steals the concept of Nazi and breaks it. Or the Thu'um does something flat-out bullshit. Nirn stomps RL modern-day earth.

Oh god, I forgot about the sword move so awesome it can SPLIT ATOMS. Although that is exactly as horrible an idea as it sounds, since you have to be right next to the nuclear explosion.
