Forgot about a letter in
Dragon magazine. Somewhere around issue #100. I wrote in response to an article about how a half-elven female cavalier could out-joust and out-duel a half-orc fighter.
I wrote an open letter to the half-orc, explaining how easily he could have slaughtered her if he would only read
Unearthed Arcana and use even minor tactics...and dissing on the concept that female jousters should have a bonus because of "a lower center of gravity." (Hint: A jouster
stands in the stirrups...he does not sit like he was on a bar stool...and drives his strength and weight through the lance tip. A female half-elven jouster, at about 100 lbs max, would stand little chance. But, hey, it's fantasy.)
There was a mini-flap, which the editor ended by writing that, in his opinion, the half-orc and the half-elf were now in love, engaged to marry and not interested in fighting anymore.
