I like the concept. A few issues:
  • Daggers were historically used for parrying all the time, and a dagger weighs so little in TFT it would be almost useless. Even a main-gauche would be pretty much irrelevant.
  • What's the weight of e.g. a giant's club? Or a dragon's claw?
Rather than weight, would it be better to use some combination of ST and handedness? I realise daggers don't have an ST minimum so something would have to be fudged.
