I see what you are saying. The module sprinkles the air lancers about, and makes them a part of the backdrop. :) I think to be an established air power, one would have flying ships and such. A few volunteer knights, even if an incredible force in their own right, wouldn't be able to make a dint in let's say what Alphatia could muster, but could be significant in land warfare, as they can act as scouts. I am guessing that every major power could field air units, or through player characters endeavors, a kingdom could develop this, as their are so many magical creatures in the Known World. ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:06:18 +0200 From: Giampaolo Agosta Subject: Re: [Ylaruam] Airlancers? 2009/7/26 Joaquin Menchaca : > I see what you are saying. =A0The module sprinkles the air lancers about,= and makes them a part of the backdrop. :) > > I think to be an established air power, one would have flying ships and s= uch. =A0 =A0A few volunteer knights, even if an incredible force in their o= wn right, wouldn't be able to make a dint in let's say what Alphatia could = muster, but could be significant in land warfare, as they can act as scouts= . =A0I am guessing that every major power could field air units, or through= player characters endeavors, a kingdom could develop this, as their are so= many magical creatures in the Known World. I'm thinking more of a comparison with Thyatis than Alphatia. Thyatis doesn't have (at 1000 AC) airships, but it does have about 2000 air knights (on a mix of mounts; numbers are my estimate). Thus, I think Ylaruam pegasus cavalry should be limited to, say, 100 knights or less.
