WOH !! KoA are really pulling your pants down with the prices of thier Armour Class items  :o
G.

KOA usually has great prices for us over here. Are the prices for Armor Class a lot lower on your side of the pond?

Here`s a link to some of their medieval swords;

Even with current exchange rates I would say KoA are marking these items up quite a bit.

Hard to say. Looking at the "Medieval Sword Fish Tail Pommel", it's about $314 on KoA. AC has it listed as £200 (assuming it's sharp, or £170 for the blunt). Current exchange rate is about £1 = $1.57. So KoA's price is roughly £200 as well. Sounds spot on.

You know it!  For a while I was afraid the reference too obscure and everybody really would think that was my mug!

Well, Revenge of the Nerds is right up our alley, altho our younger brethren probably did not get it.  Funny, but true story- I went to school with Wormser, graduated same class.  He was a snotty little sh** when I'd first met him (in Player's Theater Group of all places) but he wasn't such a bad sort once you got to know him.  Kid bought himself a Jag on his 18th, can't be mad at that!

Are you seriously name-dropping Wormser? :o  Just kidding, just kidding.

Just relating a funny story...there are maybe 4 people outside of this forum who know that, my wife and my parents making up three of the other 4.  Can't remember who that other person is...my own siblings don't even know it.  lol
