c-RPG players don't like Weaboo names. They are Caltrops. Maybe if that thread had been named properly it would have gotten some traction!

Geez, why are you guys so Anal-retentive?

I like the concept of it, but I think its a little bit too abusable, since any melee player can bring these and it seems like it would cause a lot of trolling. Also, they would need to be really visable to the horsemen IMO.

You need 1 (maybe 2) points in Throwing.

They take up a slot (maybe 2) that could be filled with more throwing axes/xbow/whathaveyou that would arguably be more directly useful as a weapon.

So while any melee player could technically choose to put a point(s) into throwing and use a spare slot, most builds I know of do not have spare points or inventory slots for an item of dubious value. It is only useful as a weapon if people actually walk/ride over them. Otherwise they are just a deployable obstacle.

Yes, visually they should be obvious when close to them.

Basically any build that doesn't have 8 or more point conversions can spare 1 point in throwing for this. Even then, a lot of people just use WM as a plug in their builds (I guess this is changing soon though), so you can just trim a point in that.
