Re: (TFT) More Weapons, and variable strength

[Rick Smith <rick_ww@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi David,
  In my campaign, I've added a lot of weapons and changed some of
the existing ones.  The big change, is that now all impaling weapons
do Xd–Y damage, where as cutting and crushing weapons do Xd+Y.

  Thus, I very naturally capture the idea that an impaling weapon might
do a tonne of damage, or very little.

  Nice work,

  Warm regards, Rick.
