Hmm... I could have sworn I say a 'tech' level type information somewhere but can't seem to find it now.
But as I was writing up miss JoAT I noticed that her being a chemist of sorts really means I have to know roughly the tech level. After all most of her weapons are 'concocted' for the most part(poisons are of course a given, but I don't think those will raise any eyebrows).
Anyhow how would fantasy versions of the following be viewed?
Greek Fire(674 AD) - Yea or Nay?
Fire-Lances(901-1000 AD) - Yea or Nay?
Grenade-Pots*(717-1044 AD) - Yea or Nay?
*Clay pots filled with Greek Fire(717 I hear) and eventually an early version of gunpowder(saltpeter(40-70% of the mixture) and equal parts sulfur and charcoal if memory serves). Very Very dangerous to the person using it.
And just for fun since they would be entertaining distractions if not useful weapons.
Fireworks/Fire Arrows**(960-1279 AD) - Yea or Nay?
**Note: Early fire works weren't necessarily 'rocket' types. They could be more of the firecracker type from what I have read. Though the rocket type(called a fire arrow if memory serves) apparently showed up as early as 1045 AD. And they weren't exactly the most useful weapons(particularly at first... they mainly served to scare people. Sort of like the Byzantines used Greek Fire. That weapon was terrifying and would demoralize the opposing army before the fight even began).
Also are their gnomes? Just curious sense her background currently states she learned the concoctions from a gnome who owed her father a favor(and was told using the knowledge would be taboo and would likely make most gnomes distrust her(as well as other races if they found out how inhumane it was(particularly the fantasy Greek fire... that is an awful way to die)). And teaching it would really not be a good idea). It could probably easily be changed to a dwarf. It is only mentioned in passing and isn't really important(heck for all she knows he was pulling her leg and it isn't taboo at all).
