Talk:Short Sword

IMO the template is incomplete and should be restructured. Proposed changes:
 * - "Damage and Type" should be converted into seperate entries: "Base Damage"(x dy) and "Damage Type(piercing,slashing,bludgeoning).
 * - "Weapon Type" should be (light,one-handed,two-handed) instead of the weapon name, which is already given in the header.
 * - "Weapon Class" should be (ranged,melee,thrown).
 * - Entry needed for "Weapon Categorie"(simple,martial,exotic).
 * - Entry needed for "Weapon Size"(small,medium,large).

 * Agreed, it needs some work. However, please keep in mind in the case of "Damage and Type" that everything was pulled as it is displayed in the examination screen. We don't want to make it too difficult for others to enter in weapon information. Also, only for these entries of the base, non-magical weapons will the Weapon Type be equal to the name. See for example General Dryden's Mace or the Sun Blade, where you might not know for sure just by the name what the type of weapon is. This will aid people who want to see all the morningstars in the game, for example (although given the way weapon focus is spread across a group of weapons, you could argue its usefulness is limited except for exotic weapons).
