Ridiculous Tests...
What you may not know is
that, being the crazy person
I am, I’ve tested a lot of the
stranger parts of this system
and the world. Now that may
seem normal. You may be
thinking, “Wel, duh... That’s
your job.” No, not exactly. I test-

course. That is my job. But I’ve
also do a number of strange
personal tests on my own. I’ve
always felt you can get the best
feel for something by doing
it yourself. So to that end I’ve
done a lot of strange tests to
see how feasible certain things
would be. I’ve practiced firing
multiple arrows from the same
bow, half swording techniques

with every weapon I could get
my hands on just to make sure
I could at least kinda describe
