Weapon weights

Post by Vortenos »

Is there an easy way to tell if a weapon is too heavy for my character to wield, without having to buy it and find out the hard way?

I can get the weapon weight, I think from a chart here: http://tabris23.tripod.com/. How can I compare that to my STR?

For one-handed weapons, approximately weight in lbs * 3 str is required.

Pounds, as weapon weights are expressed on the MUME Wiki, are alright. But how does this compare to the units used on such pages as Jahara's http://nschimme.tripod.com/items.htm?

Weight:
25 = 1/2 lb
50 = 1 lb
650 = 1 stone
That was taken from close to the top on the page you submitted :)

The unit used internally is 1 decagramme.
