Agreed.

Hey guys,
I was thinking it would be cool if we had, like, some sort of record orb where someone could put memories or thoughts of an event so they didn't forget them or others could see them. 

For such an item, a sub would be more than sufficient. The orb is basically a magical journal, so you could use a journal to sub for it if you just want your character to remember certain events. The journal could automatically record stuff, but, if you want to have the orb also display an image for others to see, you should get invoke luminance for a sub. Your character won't necessarily cast it, but having the journal be bound to the spell is acceptable.

Okay. Sorry, I wasn't sure how far one could extend subbing.
Thanks

We are pretty lenient on subbing so long as it can be justified logically. If you're ever unsure, just ask. :)

Several ideas for weapons to add or change:
Kanabo - Basic Melee - Blunt
A two-handed wooden club covered in steel protrusions.  It is commonly used against fully armored warriors.(Reason: There isn't really a weapon that appears to be distinctly defined as a 2-handed bludgeon)

Yumi - Martial Ranged - Piercing
The signature weapon of the Ataiyan warrior class, this asymmetrical bow is designed for use on horseback.
(Reason: Rider bows are fairly distinct from longbows/warbows as they often lack the power and range of a 180 lb. draw, but they are distinctly used against people in armor at close range, so yeah…)

Waster - Basic Melee - Blunt
A blunted steel practice sword.  Favored for training since it cannot deal significant damage.
(Reason: Similar in concept to a bokken/bokuto, it was, and still is, used in the study of western martial arts.)

Changes
"Bo Staff" should be renamed as just "Staff" and changed to a basic weapon.
Reason: The "Bo" literally means "Staff" in Japanese and Chinese and is identical to the European quarterstaff. Also, in societies that had actual access to weapons (such Medieval societies) they were primarily used to master the use of polearms outside of actually combat.

The "Warbow" should be refered to as "Martial" rather than Basic
Reason: Compared to Crossbows, Warbows required extensive conditioning of the users body from a very early age. In fact, professional warbowmen are known to have extensive skeletal remodelling from childhood, required to allow a human to exert the required 150+ lbs of force needed to achieve the weapons famous range and power.

Crossbows should include mention of their mechanical systems.
Classic Crossbows average at around 500 lbs of draw and were "spanned" using a lever that pushed the cord back.
Heavy Crossbows, or "Arballists" generally exceed 1000 lb draw, going as high as 1250 lbs and were drawn using a winch and pully system (called a windlass) when on foot. Of course this would not translate directly to power as this power only raised the weapon to warbow power and penetration while light crossbows were primarily used for hunting… (I wonder if I can sub my hunting bow for a hunting crossbow…)

Rapier is listed as "Ranged" when is should be "melee"

Halberd should deal Pierce damage primarily or be called a Poleaxe
Reason: Historical halberds were primarily thrusting weapons due to their length and the pronounced spike at the end. The axe-like blade was usually small and angled down, suggesting it could only be used while a halberdier was stepping back when an enemy got passed the spike. Early poleaxes were shorter with a perpendicular blade; much better for swinging.

Admittedly, these suggestions aren't specifically things I want for myself but I feel they are worth thinking about.

Rapier is fixed now with the right damage type.

Kanabo, yumi, and Waster isn't really necessary as we already have items similar enough to sub for them. The crossbows mentioned in the shop are meant to be hand-held, not the massive war machines used in medieval times. If you want a crossbow, then why not just buy one and see if anyone wants to buy your hunting bow off of you?

I'm willing to let the add suggestions go; it was mostly just  musings anyway.

However, I will have to double down on my point about crossbows as I too was refering to hand held crossbows.
