Chakrams seem like something that would take years of learning to become decent at. Something that both as a leader and merchant he would not have or had, not to mention having to find a teacher for such an exotic weapon. Where a halberd or normal spear should be simpler to learn and we could have a host of teachers to work with.
Somthing like a short sword could make sense for a merchant.
I would prefer a single handed war hammer, but it would make much more sense for him to have a sword, since I don't think it would make much sense for a merchant to have experience using war hammers. Unless he familiar with clubs or something and decides to try and adjust to a war hammer.
That's good news. I still think javelins are the better choice, due to the larger size of the projectile, and the lack of need to have a long range. I suppose it'll come down to how well a griffon can throw things.
honestly I thought Piety was going to be replaced with magic since magic and tech seem to be mostly separate things in mlp. At least to me.
I think an axe or some kind of weapon that has utility. I mean he wasn't a warrior so if he could have a weapon that could be used to protect himself and also serve as a tool to help him survive (so in this case for chopping wood) would make since to me. Plus if we can get throwing axes we can give our rising king some range as well.
Not to mention that if we can trust them enough they would make powerful ambush units in the mountains.
Judging by how the dogs were mentioned as a problem, I get the feeling that any attempt to ally them would be to the detriment of our relationship with the nobles and the public. When it comes down to it, I'd rather have the certain loyalty of the majority, over the dubious loyalty of the minority.
Or the classic stylized griffon
Just roll bonuses at this point.
I was thinking more along the lines of magic theory... or just understanding how magic effects the world.
