I kind of like this table!  Have a couple of ques-
tions, concerns:
1) Halberds?
2) Would you have another table for adjustments to 
   damage? ( ie, dmg from knives goes up to 1+2, 
   damage from pole weapons, two-handed weapons 
   (swords, axes, hammers), etc might go down.
3) I missed the # note -- is that for Lassoes?
