War of the Combat Triangle
By Advanced45

The tribes of the three combat styles – melee, magic, and ranged – lived in peace. It had been so since the God Wars in the late Third Age. It was now year 169 of the Fifth Age, and tension was mounting. Each tribe was steadily becoming aware of their advantages against the others – Rangers' endless waves of arrows, darts, knives, and bolts easily penetrated the Mages' cloth-woven robes, while their powerful spells had no effect on the Rangers' armor of dragon's hide. However, the spells were amplified against the tough metallic of the Melee'ers. Dragonhide gave no protection against the Melee'ers strong weapons, and the armor of metal prevented any projectile from harming the wearer. This series of advantages and disadvantages was known as the Combat Triangle, and this is the war waged over the Triangle's superior.
