Comments

I always felt that the 1e mundane weapons tables were more point-balanced than the 2e, or the artifact weapons of either edition. This is my attempt to even things out, and also account for some weapons that I felt were unfairly absent. The value I used for Piercing is based on the average lethal soak of most normal worn armors, so it might be a little cheap, and the value I used for Bashing damage was pretty unfair to bashing users. I feel that this is fine, since it makes nonlethal weapons a real sacrifice, much like not summoning demons. Anyway, you are now able to create the Teenage Lunar Ninja Turtles. - braincraft
