Just a quick reply before I leave home (I'll reply in full when I get back), but thank you! You pretty much gave me all the info needed, I believe. When I first started I was inclined to assign an arbitrary "recovery" for all weapons, but this approach seems much more elegant.
I have started a spreadsheet that calculates the square roots of weapon weight (so far from 1 to 13, the heaviest there seems to be on Basic), but couldn't come up with how to
mathematically work those numbers with ST - none of the approaches I took seemed to consistent/satisfactory results across ST 1 to 18 (my arbitrary "sweet spot" remains a short sword used by a ST 10 character = attacking every 3 or 4 seconds). Will report when I have done some more work.
