Topic: Weapon Catagories

[brole]

I'm looking at weapon categories and thinking about creating a new category for chain/cord weapons that use a 'spinning action' such as:
whips, flail, lasso. Has anyone here done this?

Would it make sense to put slings in this category too? (As they have a similar spinning action).

What weapon categories does everyone here use in their game?

From a realism point of view it make some sense, however I'm curious what is motivating you to do that?
Are you looking to create more splits in categories in order to force players to make harder decisions in what their characters are learning in regards to weapon skills?

[brole]

Yes for realism primarily and to create specialization.

If you are interested in realism and specialization you might want to look at the combat companion if you can get a copy. It uses weapon groups based on RMC5. I use a modified version from the guild companion for RMSS myself.
