Weapons
I really like Second Edition, but I feel that they did some slightly odd things with a lot of the weapons. It's not a big deal, really, but I thought I'd sit down and re-balance them.
Here is where I put the guidelines for weapon revision.
Natural Attacks
||Name ||Speed||Accuracy||Damage||Defense||Rate||Tags||Cost|| || Fist || 5 || +1 || +0B || +1 || 3 || - || - || || Kick || 5 || +0 || +2B || +0 || 2 || - || - || || Clinch || 6 || +0 || +0B || -- || 1 || C, P || - || || Claws || 5 || +1 || +1L || +1 || 3 || - || - || || Bite || 6 || +0 || +3L || +0 || 2 || - || - ||
Note: Only characters with natural weapons may use the Claw or Bite attacks. Special creatures with more powerful natural weapons supplant these attacks, which are designed only as a baseline.

Note: Pikes have reach, and can strike targets at a distance of 2 yards. However, they cannot strike targets next to the character without a stunt.
