Weapons and armour - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Or Winchester? Sherriff's star and sombrero, and the black horse...

But that's kidding

I'd be a man, I suppose. Sword and, maybe, round shiled (the one to be carried behind my back, and the sheath of the sword likewise). If it were not heavy a load to carry, I would probably review a crossbow as an option too. With an optical sight? I suppose elven smiths would be able of making one? (Feanor, simlarills, that kind of staff - with transparent gems for lens). Where there crossbows in Middle Earth, anyway?

But I never knew how to ride, so I'd be on foot. Black horse is sucked down the drain along with the sombrero...

I'm a hobbit so, like the hobbits of the Fellowship, I'd probably set out out on an adventure without any weapons or armour and survive by meeting people like Tom and Strider.

I think I'd like to be a man. From Gondor. Preferably the Belfalas region. Armoured in classic steel-and-mithril, with a good heirloom-of-a-sword, and a nice greyish cloak...

Perhaps a lebethron walking stick....

Of course I'd have to take food, and spare clothes, and other essentials along.

And I think one of those pedigreed horses of the Knights of Dol Amroth would do well for transport.

i would have to say that i would be an elf, since they are so awesome. i would half prolly some light armor, something like chain mail. something that doesnt hinder my arms to much because i would be dropping people off from a long way away with my bow. i would also carry a decent sized sword on my back just incase things got a little to close for me. i would be riding a nice white, maybe a brown one.

i would want to be a ranger of ithilien i would have a longbow of ash or yew wood as a primary weapon and as a secondary weapon id have a one and a half hand sword aka a sword that can be weilded one or two handed. as for armor i would have leather archer armor. i think that would be cool

I supose I would be a Elf of Lorien. They have great fight skills. And great weapons like their longbows and swords.

I would be an elf, I'd preferably have a full suit of Mithril. (Preferably.) Maybe even a blanket. And a really cool helmet that strikes fear into the heart of my enemies. For weapons, generally, I'd like something that hurts.
