[QUOTE="Mirrorrorrim, post: 9237278, member: 7040132"] The current organizational format is correct, in my opinion. The designers have it right. The purpose of a list should be for easy reference purposes, and if there are multiple lists, their categories should prioritized based on the most macro-sized choices to be made, down to the last choice. [LIST=1] [*]Simple and Martial should be separated at the highest level because the earliest and most macro decision to make is at level 1, because EVERY class differentiates proficiency based on Simple vs. Martial Weapons. Most spellcasters do not need to be sifting through all the Martial Weapons. Armor is the same way (Light, Medium, Heavy, and Shield). [*]Melee and ranged are the next biggest differentiator, based on basic functionality. [*]Within those lists, it should be alphabetical based on the first column of the list (which means alphabetical by weapon name). A new player does not have the system mastery to know to look up weapons based on other damage/mastery/properties. [/LIST] [INDENT][LIST] [*]Sorting by damage first will be less than helpful anyone who does not use Martial weapons. [*]Sorting by Mastery is not helpful to anyone that doesn't use Mastery, therefore it should not be a primary differentiator. [*]Sorting by Properties is not important to most classes or species that don't differentiate proficiency or function by property. Some weapons don't have properties/masteries, so where do they fit in the list? First? Last? [/LIST][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
