Are they really
that high? I tought that a broadsword's weight was 1.1 - 1.3 kgs, and "3 lbs" was a good approximation for it. Does a broadsword actually weighs just 900g ?
Even if they are too high, I think a better approach would be revise weapon weights, and keep sheaths weight/cost separate, to avoid all the confusion with Fine swords, odds of breakage and so on.
Also because not all weapons have sheaths, so their (unrealistically high, I suppose) weight won't be reduced by the "sheath" rule...
In your opinion, which weapons should be reduced in weight, and by how much?
Or alternatively, do you happen to have a houseruled weapon tables you use in your games? :)
