Undefined Weapons
« on: March 29, 2023, 09:50:03 AM »
In all versions of Character Law (1982, 1985, 1989), there are rules for how to handle similar weapons, with a chart that splits them up into more specific categories. However, some weapons seem to only be listed in this chart with no other references. The ones in question are:

Short Axes: Hatchet
Short Spikes: Ice Axe
Long Axes: 3/4 Axe ("Hudson's Bay Axe")
Blow Guns: Pea Shooter

It seems reasonable that these should be derived from other weapons in their categories (e.g., Pea Shooter from Blow Gun (from Sling)), but there is no indication of weapon charts, armor type or range modifications, fumble ranges, weights, or lengths in any edition of Arms Law or Character Law that I can find. (The same weapons were included in RMC5's attack theme categories, but I suspect this was just blindly copying what had come before.)

Does anyone have any idea where the relevant details for these weapons might be found?
