It crushes: mail and plate stop only 40% of what they would of a cut, but it never cuts a man in two. Its thrust is half a blow. Soldiers swap a blade for a mace at their side against a well-armoured man. A crude weapon hits 0.6 times as hard as a common one, a poor one 0.75, a fine one 1.25 and a masterwork 1.4.
Made from
Section titled “Made from”A common piece takes 3 kg of iron. A crude one takes 0.6 of that, a poor one three quarters, a fine one half again and a masterwork twice. Traders buy what they lack from the town’s market, so a town with no iron soon has none to sell.
