How much damage would a bat do if you needed 20 strength to lift it?
As the title says, if I had 20 strength and made a bat so heavy 20 ST is needed to wield it then how much damage could be done with it?

Re: How much damage would a bat do if you needed 20 strength to lift it?
So I was curious about this myself, so I went with the scaling rules and ST stuff from LTC2 for weapons and my small amount of knowledge. Assuming you mean a Baseball Bat the stats would be as follows using the information from Martial Arts and basing it off the Knobbed Club as said.
Code:
Weapon Damage Reach Parry Cost Weight ST Baseball Bat Sw+3 2 0 $125 12.5 20 Either way, with a ST 20 fellow, you'll be doing at least 3d+5 Cr. Not bad for a bit of wood. |

I believe it might mean Low-Tech Companion 2, a supplement.

Pretty sure this bat would lie outside the regulations, and you'd have a penalty to your Sports (baseball) skill to use it against a ball.

And the thread title specifies a bat that needs ST 20 to lift. Now I want to see the ST needed to wield a monster like that and the damage it would do! That's like 800 lbs, right?

One-handed lift, 2xBL is 160 lbs. Two-handed lift, 8xBL is 640 lbs.

As the others have said, Low Tech Companion 2. Sorry still sorta a greenhorn on the forums and haven't memorized all the abbreviations so I use the ones that I've used in the games I've been in.
