The Best Weapon for Fantasy Halflings (No, Not Spears)

Описание к видео The Best Weapon for Fantasy Halflings (No, Not Spears)

This is for those of you who enjoy some (modest) measure of realism in your fantasy scenarios, be it fictional writing, tabletop RPGs or video games. Which historical arms and armor would make the most practical sense for a short, agile character who is not as stout and tanky as a dwarven warrior?

Here is my perspective on that, informed by experience with HEMA (historical European martial arts). Applies to halflings, hobbits, gnomes, and similar species. Hope you enjoy the atmospheric background... that took unreasonably long to render. :)
