TFT: The Weight of Weapons (in kilograms)

Carrying a sword generally implies you're carrying some associated equipment. A scabbard, a whetstone, a rag you use to clean off blood, etc. I don't want the nuisance of keeping track of these things so it makes sense that their weight is folded into the weight of the weapon for encumbrance purposes. Scabbards at least can weigh a significant fraction of the weight of the swords they protect. On this basis TFT weights start to look more reasonable.
