22413, Heavy weapons
Posted by Dark Priest on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
At what weight is a weapon actually considered heavy?

At what weight does the legacy or any edges for heavy weapons start to kick in? Is it progressive the heavier the weight?

Thanks!

Generally this is a sliding scale.

Edited to add:

The sliding scale is by weapon absolute weight and isn't relative to the strength of your character; however, you're probably still better off thinking of heavy as being something more like "this weapon is so heavy it's about all I can wield." A 20 pound weapon doesn't qualify as all that heavy, for example.

Thanks for the reply.

To clearify, does this mean that the legecy 'Fist of the Titan' (raises max wield weight) -will not- effect any bonuses granted from wielding a heavy weapon by an edge or Trapping?

If before getting Fist you could wield X weight and it was heavy for you but now that you have Fist it isn't a big deal, would you garner the same bonus as you did before?

Correct. (Except in the sense that you can potentially wield something you couldn't before.)

I was just trying to say that I've seen people with Trapping say: Okay, I can wield 40 pounds total, so I'm going to wield two 20 pound maces. In that case you're getting some use out of Trapping, but not a lot. Probably a better bet in that case would be something like a 35 pound mace and a 5 pound one, even though it wouldn't help your offhand at all.
22420, Thanks for clearing it up! ~
