I beleve adding your weapon should be added If it is a
melee weapon but use x2 star lot for hand-hand and
range only weapons

why not then have a minamum stringth St to use the
heaver weapons, of corse you would need to give them a
Dmg bonus to ofset that fact.

also what's the deal with the lance?? It has way to
many qualifers to make it a good weapon, and it's
attack is way to low come on 1-10 Dmg with no bonuses 
I allways give it a bonus based on the land speed of
your mount.
can any one tell me what the plans are for this
weapon?
