Your figures are from the last distributed version before 5.2. It is now generally slightly better to use an unenchanted long sword than your originall enchanted mace. Ken

#R:csin:-28900:sri-unix:5000017:000:300 sri-unix!mclure Apr 8 13:34:00 1983 In rogue 5.2: A normal mace is 2d4. A long sword is 3d4. A two-handed sword is 4d4. Does anyone know how the dexterity & power factors in a mace (+2,+1 for example) affect the 2d4? Do they turn it into a 4d5 or what? I'm sure others who don't play D&D would like to know about this too. Stuart
