Mêlée Weapons
In addition to the Brawn score of a character, weapon proficiency pools are limited by the weapon. The Rank of a weapon is the same as the Rank of the largest die that can be in that weapon's proficiency pool. Weapons do not limit the size of a proficiency pool. Having ten dice for a Dagger may seem like a lot, but they have a 25% chance of automatic failure (rolling 1) and how long do you thing characters will be facing monsters with Defense less than 4?
A non-comprehensive list
1st Rank (d4)
Bō (Crunchy)
Club (Crunchy)
Dagger (Stabby)
Hatchet (Choppy)
Quarterstaff (Crunchy)
2nd Rank (d6)
Axe, Hand (Choppy)
Hammer (Crunchy)
Spear, Short (Stabby)
Sword, Short (Stabby)
3rd Rank (d8)
Axe, Battle (Choppy)
Spear, Great (Stabby)
Sword, Long (Stabby)
Mace (Crunchy)
4th Rank (d10)
Axe, Great (Choppy)
Morningstar (Crunchy)
Sword, Bastard (Stabby)
5th Rank (d12)
Axe, Battle, Great (Choppy)
Hammer, War (Crunchy)
Sword, Great (Stabby)
Weapon types will be part of optional Weapon v. Armor rules. I might even add in weapon length if I'm feeling ambitious (doubtful).
(Highly doubtful)
