Re: GURPS Overhaul - Combat Skills, take 2
Most swords are under two pounds and the point of balance is just a couple inches above your hand. I believe the average night stick weights more and the point of balance is closer to the middle (better for swinging), so a average one handed sword is worse than a night stick. That, to me, makes it pretty poor. It might just be that we disagree on the definition of what constitutes "good" here.
From what you said, the difference between a sword and a mace is +3 in favor of the mace. That sounds about right if your swing damage for ST 10 is 1d. I might drop this one more point for slender thrust centric "sideswords".
