Lightweight
+ Sleek and modern + Consistent + Quadruped gait + Great for hikers incapable of turning into a wolf or hawk − Look like an REI North Faced dweeb − No magic powers − Not suitable for Balrog country − Some poles are not usable by fae with geasa against touching cold iron or similar metallurgic atrocities − Everyone on the trail will know you're a swagless mortal − They'll be like "bro has this guy ever even beheld the runes? lmao" | +
Traditional look and feel
+ Highly personalizable + Ideal for wizards and druids + Can produce light for night hikes (if you are a wizard or druid) + Tripedal gait (but you can shapeshift so who cares) − Heavier − Less ergonomic − Special permit needed in some states (check with local wizard tower or licensing department) − Basically no other downsides??? |
