Here is a listing of 5.2 weapons, the +Y column refers to what the Y part of the +X,+Y rating of a weapon needs to be to make that weapon "equal" to a 2-handed sword. It is probably worth some analysis on your part to decide if you would rather use a mace or a long sword. Weapon Damage_dice Expected_Damage +Y_required ------ ----------- --------------- ----------- two-handed sword 3d6 10.5 0 long sword 1d10 5.5 5 mace 2d4 5.0 6 spear 1d8 4.5 6 dagger 1d6 3.5 7 short bow 1d1 1.0 10 arrow 1d1 1.0 10 dart 1d1 1.0 10 sling 0d0 0.0 11 Good gaming, Troneus Themoseus
