DM: Weapons vs Styles Table (2 of 3) From: 860099w@dragon.acadiau.ca (Marty Ward) Date: Wed, 12 Jan 1994 16:45:41 +0000 [ I've added the three shields to this table. I've been sending some fighters to the Dark Arena with shields as their primary weapon in order to find out a styles suitability to a shield. Anyone want to help in filling this in? I suspect that it won't matter what size is the shield when all the testing is done. Note 1: The Striker is only marginally suited to the shield (or ME in this case), but it is well suited to all weapons. Note 2: Please take a close look at the Great Axe and Great Sword and help me confirm the style suitability for them. I can't believe that the Slasher is WS to the GA, but only MA suited to the GS. ] ---- cut ---- This table shows which weapons are suited to which styles. See the accompanying chart for the stats necessary to use the weapons. Keep in mind that off-hand weapons are always suited style-wise, but not necessarily stat-wise.

U = Style uses weapon in an unorthodox fashion. NOTE: A favourite weapon will be well suited style-wise, but not necessarily stat-wise. -- /\ _|\| |/|_ Martin N.
