GILBERTO REVISED LOW TECH WEAPONS TABLE

[phayman53]

Thanks for the clarification.

About the lance rules, I actually think using ST of the rider is more realistic than HP, I came across a blog by a guy who jousts some time ago and he firmly believed that the rider's strength was the main issue in a lance strike because that determines how firmly energy can be transferred into the blow (though he was not being careful to differentiate size and strength, he was more arguing against the idead that the energy of the horse transfers into the blow). Still, while clearly the rider's mass affects the blow, his ability to brace in the saddle and not give as much with the strike seems more important to me as it is the lance making contact, not the riders whole body like in a slam. Thoughts?

Seems like a better idea, and simpler as well(You already use your ST for every weapon). I'll change that on the table.
