Default Re: Murderiest Hobo?

Because counting stats have always been interesting like home runs, points, ships sunk, planes shot down etc. We love knowing about 'how many X did Y do' and have detailed 'top Aces of WW2' etc lists.

And my fantasy experience started with the Lord of the Rings so Gimli and Legolas counting kills ranked right up there with Roger Maris knocking 61 home runs.

OOC on this character I have to track arrow use, so the marginal cost to track kills is low

IC the character believes shooting enemies with a bow is truly right and just as Elven as baking cookies, and she knows her heroes did such amazing things and she wants to accomplish these things herself as a rightful Elven hero, but she really isn't into nuance or historical context to know _why_ this is a good thing, just bigger numbers is better!

She is extremely troubled by killing people using a sword instead of a bow, melee combat is so unelven! She rationalizes it by feeling enemies who require her to use a sword (for instance by casting missile shield) are discriminating against the Elven way of life and thus must be eliminated, and that if you look at it the right way swords are actually bow like. She cites the 'Reverse Floresta Principle' to support this, the Floresta Principle says arrows are really small swords you shoot at people. This let's her get through the day when she is forced to resort to swordplay. Mostly.
