Very long (V): pike. Weapons longer than the character's height Single Handed Melee (S): ankus, bludgeon, cutlass/infantry hanger, dirk, hunting hanger, katanna, mace, rapier, Scottish broadsword, smallsword, wakazashi, kard. Weapons used one handed and under the character's height in length Brawling (B): Katar Unarmed attacks and weapons that enhance the damage of actions normally performed unarmed. Other non-18th century examples would be steel capped shoes or brass knuckles. Bow (W): bow, composite bow. Errr. you know, bows. Crossbow (X): stonebow Um, crossbows. Longarms: carbine, musket, sporting gun Firearms over 1/3 of the character's height in length, used two handed Double handed melee (D): executioner's sword, greatsword weapons used with both hands and under the characters hieght in length Pistol (P): horse pistol, pocket pistol Cannon (C): cannons, swivel guns Thrown (T): Grenade (G): grenade, hand mortar Siege Engine (E): pre-gunpowder siege engines Anyway, should the single handed melee be spilt up? Consider ankus, mace, dirk and hanger these do seem rather different. The category also covers much more ground than the others. Perhaps break up the melee groups into 1h swing, 1h thrust, 2h swing, 2h thrust etc.

After all characters have been updated, a (shorter) set of encounters in Brobdingrag will follow. There are only a few more sessions to go before completing this new Chapter in the world of Gulliver's Travels be sure to show up explore Brobdingrag, prevent Jonathan Gulliver from doing anything else morally reprehensible, and help the GTC turn a profit from this risky venture. Without you the company may face ruin!
