The problem i have here is that I cant for the life of me think of a good way to word the weapons thing. You get what I am trying to accomplish with this, swords are used differently than axes, axes are used essentially the same way as maces and hammers and picks but do a fundamentally different type of damage, spears and pikes are in their own category. I think the way you listed it above is better than how I have it now. but I need to think and work on the wording.
here's how I am trying to separate them, by how they are wielded:
heavy headed weapons that rely on their weight and momentum to deal damage:
axes, clubs, flails, maces, morning stars, picks, hammers
weapons that are basically a blade with a handle that are good for more finesse than aforementioned weapons:
swords(all kinds), knives, daggers, machetes, and the like (rapier almost falls into a different catagory since it is used sooo much differently than say a claymore or bastard sword)
pole weapons:
spears, polearms, lances
but then there are the oddballs:
Rapier, sap, more exotic weapons like the sickle, scythe, whip, ball and chain (not a flail more like that thing they used in kill bill, blowguns, slings
I will add all the other stuff, Its all really good ideas.
Magic is still needing to be worked out however. I'm not sure how I should do it without over or underpowering it. I'm going to leave all the magic stuff for last for now.
