[QUOTE="Adjudicator, post: 96056, member: 1793"] Favor mithral breatplate myself, but as a wizard have little use for it, as I am wearing bracers of armor. Damajen "I don't believe it changes the size of the weapon, only the weight. Weight isn't the distinguishing factor with weapon sizes. I would keep the weapon size the same." Vocenoctum "I'd not allow a weapon to be "light" simply because it weighs less. Look at the weights of the weapons and you'll see it doesn't bare out." I will most likely not allow weapons to be catagorized as being lighter. The flip side of the arguement is this though, the only difference in mithral and steel armor IS the weight. Why should weight be the distinguishing factor in armor but not in weapons? Banded and splint armors are still as akward and cumbersome to move in, not nearly as form fitting as plate armors (breastplate, half-plate, and full plate) or flexible as mails (chain shirts, chain, and scale) so why are they reduced other than the rules stating that they just are? Not trying to press my point, just looking for clarification? I don't use dual weapons when I do play so it doesn't affect me, but it will affect two players in my group. appreciate the responses.
