			== Longevity charts for breakage ==
			I have removed the charts from the Longevity section that I briefly moved over from the [[Arrow]] page, on the grounds that they were not very helpful charts. They were all linear relationships of the same scaled values, their x-axes were descending order, and the principle behind the math (that if a projectile has a p chance of breaking it will on average last you exactly 1/p hits) is overly simple.

			What I would like to put here instead is a chart that plots, for several common breakage values of p, the probability that you will get exactly K hits out of a fixed number of projectiles (say 50). Only problem is I haven't quite figured out what a distribution like this should look like. --[[User:Phol ende wodan\|Phol ende wodan]] ([[User talk:Phol ende wodan\|talk]]) 01:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

extra info

New page

Kicking objects also counts as projectiles, you can even gain weapon skill this way! (I gained a dagger skill level last night kicking daggers at a disenchanter in the castle)
