Errata? Cheap-Quality Hobgoblin and Orc Swords
Monsters, p. 34, lists hobgoblin swords as "crude, saw-toothed falchions that leave nasty wounds (break as cheap, and sell for at most $125)."
The same page describes an orc's sword as "a sawtoothed falchion (breaks as cheap, and sells for at most $80)." I understand that Orcish Sawtooth Blades are from Glittering Prizes (p. 20), but I don't think we have rules for cheap-quality blades in DF RPG, do we? Also, the price is different (though one may be large, I haven't done the math), and I'm on the fence with the hyphen. Thanks!

They aren't listed for sale, but Exploits does mention cheap weapons and breaking: See Parrying with Improvised Weapons, Parrying Heavy Weapons both on page 49, and on the Critical Miss Table p 101.

Re: Errata? Cheap-Quality Hobgoblin and Orc Swords
Yeah, "cheap" isn't a quality you can intentionally go into town and ask for, to prevent various kinds of cheesiness I leave as exercises for the reader. But it is defined in the game and does have real effects.

Re: Errata? Cheap-Quality Hobgoblin and Orc Swords
Thank you. Forgot to check there.
I'm pretty well in favor of the quality being dropped from purchase.
