Is the t-rex dire or regular?

>>32783628
Regular, though possesses, and is profecient with, two spears

>>32783626
>>32783651
Well, assuming the human was proficient with his sword, he would have to dodge t-rexes spear charge and/or bite in order to attack his flank. The T-rex has tiny arms, so his dual spears will be less useful there.
With his excessively folded steel and simian rage the human should be able to cut the beasts leathery hide.
So probably, i´d say.

Depends on if we're using some terrible gamist ruleset or some decent ruleset that actually cares about verisimilitude.

Even in a normal standing state a large spear is well within headstabbing range of a human

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's distinctly possible. Most of the time people die to megafauna predators in fiction it's because they ran and we all know that prey runs. They're also rarely armed and of the mental disposition to stand their ground or charge the trex.

>>32783858
It lacks the muscular structure in the arms to deliver a blow too fast and too hard to easily block or parry.

>>32783565
You know what, I'm just going to go ahead and say it.

No way.
/thread

If he can take at least one of the eyes: absolutely.

>>32783919

I believe it would stab downward using both its crappy arm muscles and the weight of its body. Parrying is not something that would even be conceivable.

>>32783919
Obviously the Rex is using the momentum of the charge.

The question here is the Rex like it's name implies and in fact a member of some Royal family, this being clad in decent armor? Or is it merely a Tyranosarus Serf?

Shift in momentum makes him lose the speed advantage that his charge gives him.

Probably not?

He deserves the loss. probably the worse Jouster at the Interspecies Tournament.

>>32784169
>My speed is superior, my victory is certain

The T-Rex probably wasn't a sluggish thing.

>>32784279
But he's shifting forward momentum to the tide in order to sidestep, and given that he's a massive bit of megafauna it should slow him down a considerable amount.

>>32784220
We have already established that the Trex in question is part of an established house of Trex nobles, so we can assume he is at least as cunning as a human knight. As for terrain, perhaps a grassy plain, where all honor duels take place.

>>32783565
I honestly think that a professionally trained and experienced human in full plate, with some sort of pole arm and a backup weapon, could stand a roughly 50/50 chance of killing a smallish adult T-Rex.

Any comments?

>>32784221
a smart won't stop if he misses, he keeps going put some distance between him and the
Ittle man before turning to charge again.

Flight sim fans will recongnise this as "Boom and zoom"

>>32784332

I concur, as has been noted most people who died to Trexes in things like Jurassic Park were both running (so prey) and not of the disposition to actually fight.

I bet it would actually be intimidating to be a giant predator and this smaller, sharp and pointy thing advancing on *you* for once.

>>32784313
It'd slow down, yeah, but, it has pretty big n' powerful legs and thighs, so it could accelerate up to a certain speed again.

>>32784363
Yeah everyone knows trexs prefer using range weaponry like bows. Why would one use spears? I wanna know this trex's backstory.

>>32784440
Have we not thought of the possibility of a well trained T-rex noble being able to strafe? Or "juke" like a modern American football player?

>>32784386
I think you're overestimating how hard each bite is. You're too big to swallow whole, and with the armor it'll probably have to chomp you a couple times before you're out of the game.
If you're reasonably good with a glaive or spear or something, you can probably counter attack it pretty fiercely when it tries and then look for an opportunity to stab its belly flesh.

>>32784005
>crappy arm muscles
actually its arm muscles were pretty fucking strong.

Tiny, yes. But strong nonetheless. They (probably) used their claws like meat hooks to hold onto thrashing prey.

>>32783565
Easily. A t-rex can't breath very well in our modern day atmosphere. So it would fall over and start suffocating.

>>32784475
Clearly the T-rex needs to be carrying a Glaive or some other form of sweaping polearm design to cover up this inherent weakness.

>>32784527
I think you're underestimating the fact that if that thing puts you in its jaws you're going to get torn to fucking pieces when it starts shaking you.

Some animals have learned they can prey on humans.

Don't most carnivores only attack humans when they're starving or sacred ground is being tread upon though? I would assume most animals either don't like the taste of people or are too scared of getting riddled with bullets to dare attack, but can't be certain which is the actual case.

They do so with supremely large weapons and enchanted gauntlets allowing them to swing large weapons. Because all the countries lack the man power to constantly send patroles of ill fitted soldiers to die against giant monsters because spears and arrows do jack shit.

How do I solve this for my party? An easy spell. "Enlarge Weapon" Many penis jokes are had until the rogue realised he does no damage with his tiny little stabbers.

Traps. Poison. Explosives. Big fucking rocks.

Humans have, in reality, taken down woolly mammoths and all sorts of megafauna. Do you really think their go to method was "Let's get really fucking pumped and go straight up to these incredibly dangerous animals and slam them with this huge thing."?

No, even if we somehow take into consideration that it would somehow make the least bit of sense to wield weapons like that, which it never will, that's still the dumbest fucking thing you can do. You don't want to be up and personal with something that can instantly kill you with the flick of an extremity or single glancing stomp. If people could be that strong, there are still a hundred better options.

So for that to make sense we have to make even more allowances how these "munstur hunturs" either have supermagical superarmor or have trained their bodies to be harder that superdiamond or whatever shitty bullshit excuse they use in that universe and then we're fully deep in Absolutely Retarded territory, and there are no return trips.

Oh, I apologise.

But Monster Hunter, despite how silly it looks, really is fairly realistic in it's goals.

Most of the Monsters can't be harmed much by Steel weaponry, so you gradually work your way up.

And most of them have godly resilence, so when you want to wound the fuckers, you need a big sword.

>>32786118
But you don't understand.

They would use their superior smarts to lure the monster in a false sense of security, trap it and attack its weak point (sorry, don't have pic of Giant Enemy Crab).

Much like in Monster Hunter mind you. Just they'd climb the monster in the trap.

Much like one can in MH4 IIRC.

Fuck no. I've seen a goddamn T-rex skellington up close. There is no way any single human being with a run o the mill sword is going to do anything except die horribly.

Now if there were MULTIPLE dudes with swords sure, but it's more of a case of "you're the bait, we'll try to stab it in the face as it comes down to eat you".

Merely law of quantity. A modern-day alligator can easily make a human his bitch. Now upscale that bitch to the size of a house.

No my friend. You're the one with 12 year old taste. Taste too old and too grimmed and too 'mature' to enjoy things that aren't grey and droll.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

-C.S. Lewis

I think we have a serious case of a No-fun norman in this thread who assumes every type of Megafauna is a mammoth And that shit like Dragons, Manticores, Hydras and such are not fantastical creatures that are not quite as slow, sluggish and downright soft targets as a Mammoth is.

I mean really, an example was posted above.

Try killing a Lion with a slingshot or dagger.

Try trapping it with a mouse trap or throwing pebbles at it, or poisoning it with a small dose of rat poison.

There comes a time when your fighting large creatures that these tactics don't work on the small scale, and in order to poison or trap that there giant monster, you need giant poitned things to even cut through it's hide.

never mind I think it's impossible to poison a Hydra or Manticore anyway.

>>32786523
Indeed, the T-rex would let the man use as big a sword as the man wants. Just to make it a fairer fight.

You're still thinking in VIDEO GAME MODE, which means your statements are absolutely retarded and cannot be applied.

If I have, say, the venom from an extremely venomous snake, that venom in sufficient quantities (which isn't anything like you seem to think it is) will kill anything that isn't closely related to that snake.

And you just need to hide some pointy log somewhere with a fair dose on that they'll step on and boom, dead soon enough.

>Much less devastating to a larger creature, seriously do you ignore physics or something?

What? You seriously think size makes something resistant to explosions? Sure a grenade doesn't hurt an elephant as much as it does a human, but a C4 will kill fucking anything, at least through a wound that causes enough blood loss.

>big fucking rocks
>won't hurt larger creatures
So get bigger rocks, numbnuts. The kind of rocks you can only set into motion with a big improvised lever.

>Mammoths are not Dragons, Hydras, Wyverns and Chimeras are they?
They might as well be. You're severely underestimating how fucking dangerous Mammoths, or even just a wild elephant, really is. If it catches you and wants to hurt you, you're fucking dead.

Mammoths had really, really fucking thick hide, too. Sure, you can arbitrarily rule that your fantasy creatures are 1000000000 times cooler and more resilient than this, but that'd be retarded and not based on any sort of common sense or aim for believability.

>>32786577
You can poison Gigginox, Great Wroggis, and Rathians, if you use enough of it.

>>32786501
Only because the alligator is still human sized. When you make the alligator's teeth alone each the size of your fucking head, you're not going to wrestle shit. A beefy human COULD wrestle a gator because both are proportionally sized as to make grappling techniques still effective against them (if horribly suicidal).

How the shit would a human grapply a T-Rex when they don't even reach the belly? You gonna hug its foot? Enjoy being thrown off and stepped on.

>>32786623
Actually he's got a point with poison.

LD50, man. Lethal doses are, in fact, based on weight - it takes more snake venom to kill an elephant than a human. Being huge is its own defense.

In fact, you may notice that in the real world, the largest animals are primarily prey - carnivores rarely get bigger than, say, alligator or tiger sized.

>>32786142

We play 3.5 so...sorry.

Reflex saves vs the burst from the ground attacks.

Usually, half of the party has really big crossbows with chain grappling hooks on them, they use these for climbing and tie ups.

They usually carry climbing hooks and rope and try to make their way along the creatures body and hold on for dear life when it submerges.

Look for weak spots between the natural armor plating and, if anyone has knowledge nature and has done their research, they can find weak points to strike at.

They are usually drunk when attempting fighting huge creatures. Its all a lot of fun, much for exciting for me and them than hacking at its knees (or whatever, armor plating) until it slowly bleeds out.

>>32786501
>Nothing in this world is invulnerable.
True enough, but there's such a thing as tiers of hunters/prey.

Like how humans stay the fuck away from Grizzly Bears. There's a reason for it. You take on things in your weight limit, so to speak.

If I had to go up against a T-Rex, I'd get a spear. Typically a long-range option would be preferable, but javelins and arrows would at best drive the thing away; I'd need like some dart frog poison or something to bring it down otherwise. Persistence hunting is fruitless without helpers. So I'd get a long-ass spear, and stab it in the gut and ass. I'd turn when it turns, because I really don't want to be anywhere near the head. If the head gets too close, I suppress it with jabs. Nothing likes sharp things moving towards its eye. So eventually it'd bleed out, or my spear would break, and I'd run the fuck away.

However, if I'm hunting dinosaurs I'm gonna go after a smaller herbivore. Killing something gargantuan is a waste for me alone, and herbivores will be more nutritious.

The problem is he implied he'd had to carry like barrels and barrels of poison when in fact the difference is a human lethal dose is like a drop and a dragon lethal dose is, at worst, a cups worth.

Or you could just get a more potent poison.

>>32786741
These things weigh tons, man. Based on kilograms, you're talking about a thousandfold amount of poison or more for the higher-tier critters, not accounting for any resistance or robustness they might have inherently.

And even then how are you going to deliver that poison? Tiny arrows are only going to carry so much fresh toxin.

Seriously, you are losing ground. Rapidly.

So now we're talking about Middle Ages humans having access to C4 grade explosives and huge snake farms in the off chance they need to kill a large monster? In between usual middle ages politics?

Also, Mammoths are nothing like a Dragon, Chimera, Hydra or Manticore because all of those are fantasy creatures with either DRAGON SCALES or they're fast and agile hunters designed for killing and destruction.

Seriously. Point out this chart and show me how any of those creatures would go down easier than a mammoth using actually middle ages weaponry.

I really think you're just one of those autistic realists who cannot understand a fantasy setting is different to real life.

>>32786700
Oh don't confuse me, I don't say all my Monster Hunters get to sit around in a circle and slap a Great Dragon's ass until it dies. They just need big weapons to try and fight them. Fighting things like a Dragon turtle is fine for them to try and climb on, but the last time someone tried to use the tactic on a Manticore, the thing just rolled it's body several times and smash the poor ranger into paste with it's bulk.

Different Monsters fight differently, and some are so damn solid and so damn durable, you can't trap them and you can't just ride them, you need to bust in it's kneecaps and then curbstomp it's face.

If they were believable, then the square-cube law applies?

What then, a monster that cannot move? Where is the realism then?

If you allow for realism to take over, its done.

Dragons can't breath fire man. They can't fly.

Next, of course you'll say that you allow them to fly, and breath fire. But in keeping with that, you need to keep the setting internally coherent. That means special technique to take down monsters.

Also, in MH, traps exist. They work.
Poison exists. It works.

A very effective tactic in MH is to poison some monsters. Using either guns or small, usable by an actual human sword.

Arguably one of the fastest way to kill a monster in MH is to trap it, put it to sleep, then use bombs to injure and capture/kill it.

In other words, what you say is possible and effective, not to mention much better at achieving the desired result.

But there are also huge weapons, because it's just as fun.

>>32786953

A "swim bladder" full of some flammable gas and saliva that reacts to that gas. Digestion refills the bag instead of having the creature fart it out.

You're the first one to explicitly mention them in this argument. I was just asked what traps I would use.

>access to huge snake farms
If you actually needed some alternative to kill megafauna that makes at least a modicum of sense, that's one way to go. Not my preferred one, but I'll not shy away from it.

>Mammoths are nothing like a Dragon, Chimera, Hydra or Manticore because all of those are fantasy creatures with either DRAGON SCALES
Sure, if you arbitrarily define them not to be, but you have no reason to because that makes no sense. There's no reason an oversized lizard would be any more of anything than an oversized mammal.

>Point out this chart and show me how any of those creatures would go down easier than a mammoth using actually middle ages weaponry.
Ignoring the stupidly sized ones: just like a mammoth. I never said they'd be easier than mammoths, I said they'd be about the same thing. Which they would be, because all of you are underestimating how tough mammoths are.

>using actually middle ages weaponry
Rocks, traps and poison is still the way to go. Unlike what some people think, you can't go hunting moving targets with siege weapons that was designed to hit, and still often missed, big-ass stationary castles.

>who cannot understand a fantasy setting is different to real life
Oh I understand perfectly well, I'm just saying it's infantile and retarded. Because, you know, it is.

>>32786986
Probably something similar to the spitting cobra and some kind of napalm like venom, coupled with a spark producing tooth system like some Mon Hon dragons have, you could have a biological flamethrower.

Perhaps, I'm not saying you cannot posion them, I'm just saying if you need a rare puffer-fish extract to effectively poison say, a Chimera. You have alot of trouble transporting that crap to the area where the Chimera is.

>If you allow for realism to take over, its done.
It really isn't, if you're ready to work with it.

>Dragons can't breath fire man. They can't fly.
Both of those things are possible, they just didn't happen. Just like Unicorns are absolutely 100% possible. They just didn't come about for X reasons.

I don't like my dragons larger than, say, a small T-rex anyway and if we apply hollow bones and bones consisting of an abnormal material, there's no problem, to a point.

In a world where these monsters existed, there would be a market for those kinds of things. They wouldn't be available in just any corner shop, sure, but if your occupation was at all in any way to deal with these creatures, you would come in contact with people who could procure you these poisons.

I guess that's why so many US soldiers died from feces-covered hidden spikes in Vietnam.

Infection is a hell of a killer.

>>32787402
If a game involves a mythological creature i would expect it to act like a mythological creature.

He doesn't like magic or high fantasy apparently. Just ignore him. Probably plays some rules free system and thinks he's a better gamer for it.

>>32787510
>any meat you might want is now infected.

Absolutely, the only reason I mentioned it is I was asked to kill these things, not hunt them for their meat.

If we're talking hunting for meat and spoils then traps, big-ass rocks and whatever the closest thing to explosives is would be my preferred choice.

I guess liking Tolkien is Degrading then?

Because Dragons, Fire Demons and such are beaten by swords and spears, not by C4 and rare puffer fish extracts farmed to high enough standards to poison them?

>>32787241
>>32787482
What verisimilitude? A dragon could not fly, even T-Rex sized.

Because its wings would have been bigger than a 747.

And surviving is a game mechanic. There is little info regarding what actually happens to hunters when hit.

>>32787400
Poison means it's poison.
It has some sort of negative effect, it disturbs an organism.
Cyanide is poison, technically so is Uranium.

Toxins are produced by a living thing (Be it bacteria, vegetable, reptile, mammal, what have you). Puffer fish poison, bee venom, and Necrotizing fasciitis are all toxins

Venom is injected by a living creature.

Them's the general rules.

>>32787594
>Dragons, Fire Demons
>beaten by swords and spears
That pretty much doesn't even happen once. They're beating my laserskyships and SuperElvenSuperPowers and whatever have you.

But at least Tolkien has enough good taste to not fit normal humans with gargantuan weaponry.

>>32787594
I'm only vaguely following this argument, but doing the 'OH SO IF YOU THINK X IS SHIT THEN YOU MUST THINK TOLKIEN IS SHIT TOO' is about as bad as 'OH SO YOU LIKE X THING? WELL SO DID HITLER'.

>>32787657
Hitler liked fine art, women, and dogs.

Well, shit.

>>32787650
But sky boats with lasers is fine? Nigger, if I showed you that in a weaboo thing, you'd hate it too. Like in say Final Fantasy. They have those. And crazy big swords.

I mean, I don't even like wrong depictions of swordfighting, but you're such a cunt, I find myself defending Final Fantasy.

Okay. We get it. You don't like big weapons. You look down on people who do. That's great.

We're all proud of you and you have way better taste than everyone else in the whole world.

You can leave now so we can talk about dinosaurs dual-wielding spears for the good of his noble house.

>>32787630
And toxic is just poison

>>32787630
Ah... no. It's much simpler than that. Poison is ingested, venom is applied to you.

A snake is venomous, cause he bites you. A toad is poisonous cause you have to eat him to die of it.

>>32787630
So as you can see:
If it's a venom, it's a toxin, if it's a toxin it's probably poison.

They're not exclusive terms, it's not one or another.

>>32787402
>I guess that's why so many US soldiers died from feces-covered hidden spikes in Vietnam.

Well the feces had little to do with it.
I mean it certainly didn't help, but a wound that got infected because of Punji stick impalement was going to get infected regardless of the application of feces.

>>32787598
I'll admit I'm not particularly familiar with the physics, or biology, of flight in particular, but I'm pretty damn sure that you could make halfway realistic allowances for at least creatures that are somewhat bigger than bears to have winged flight.

But I'm probably going to look into it now.

So what if you're fighting something like this?

How are you going to get big rocks to hit it? How are you going to explode it enough?

>>32787650
Nigger are you retarded? Ancalogon The Black was beaten by a Eärendil surfing a Great Eagle. not a fucking laserskyship or SuperElvenSuperPowers

>>32787650
What makes you think the humans in monster hunter are normal humans?
They can wield massive weapons with ease take blows that should leave them cripple if not dead repeatedly and hold their breath for incredible lengths while engaged in strenuous physical activity.
I'm pretty sure monster hunter humans are far and above normal.

>>32787696
I really don't think a Tyrannosaurus could get any real force behind a spear, or any weapon, considering he doesn't have opposing thumbs to grip them with.

>>32787735
Sure you can.

But they're not going to be bulky like a dragon in the slightest.

Most large flying creatures were thin and fuck.

>>32787685
Who said I found them fine? Who says I don't already hate parts of Tolkiens fiction?

I do give him some concessions, though, considering he was pretty much exploring unmapped territory. We deserve better today, by all means.

I've always theorized that the monster hunter world is a much smaller one than ours with a much greater amount of oxygen in it's atmosphere.

Hence the massive flora and fauna as well as lower gravity.

>>32787768
>were thin and fuck
sounds fun

So what's wrong with thin dragons? Sounds refreshing to me.

>>32787761
We've already discussed this. He can because reasons.

>>32787712
WRONG.

STOP SAYING THINGS.
YOU WRONG
WRONG PERSON.

You are misapplying that rule of thumb, it's to differentiate when something is a venom and when it isn't.
All venoms, are by their very nature, also poisons.

>>32787777
I don't think you deserve better. Nice quads though.

>>32787789
That could work, and even in this case you wouldn't be losing anything really. Sometimes its a good thing to be able to use your sword hand, I don't see that being the case for mr. rex.

This thread started off well with the t rex coming from a noble family and shit, but now the autism of tg got too much and the thread lost its potential.

Atleast I have the first 50 posts unspoiled.

>>32787736

You wouldn't need to fight that thing since it would collapse on itself and die, slowly, alone.

>A reasonable discussion on what you would realistically need to kill big monsters in pseudo-reality

There's also the possibility that the spear is tied to his hand or something.

Like giant flying fire breathing lizards and giant snakes that grow more heads for each you cut off.
You know dragons and hydras.

Depends on the world though. Maybe the gravity on the planet is less and thats why the humans can use huge weapons. Maybe the humans and the weapons are actually tiny, and thats just a garter snake as seen by a tiny human.

>>32787862
I don't see why the long neck is necessary. Other than that, it looks fine.

That's a funny phrase considering the guy is complaining these giant fanatical monsters are not 100% acting under 100% realism and the idea that maybe you might need big weapons to kneecap some of the monsters because traps don't kill them off much is an infantile concept.

now he could cover them to avoid the impact hurting his little hands

Neither of those things negate it from being a monster. It can have a necessary place in its environment and it can have a respectable power to it, but at the end of the day it's a bunch of teeth with fins that will take my arm off without a second thought, and that's a monster in my book.

>>32787982

>>32787963
Sharks aren't very efficient I'd argue.
They're not maximizing the potential of what they kill.
Rather they leave an awful lot of potential nourishment for other animals to eat, and their digestions aren't actually very good at processing what they do get.

They've adapted to that by being really vicious and downsizing their demand for nourishment.

>It should be said that T-Rexian noble house meetings, such as The Grand Gathering, are remarkably civil, though there are no small amounts of witty insults and passive-aggressive remarks. On one such occasion, a representative of House Recstofan was told of of a noble of the Starle clan that if he, the representative of Recstofan was a man of Starle stature, he would meet in an open forum. The representative of Recstofan remarked in return, "If I was a man of Starle stature, I would need much wider doors in my manor."
