[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2743523, member: 35678"] In the book [i]From Stone to Steel[/i], the rule for minimum Str is: you refer to the [b]Light Load[/b] table in Carrying Capacity. For every pound over that 1/4, you get -1 to hit. A individual with 10 Str may carry 8 pounds (33/4 = 8.25, rounded down = 8). Thus a Str 10 individual can use most d20 weapons, but a heavy mace, heavy lance, bastard sword and Waraxe might cause trouble. Now, it doesn't say this, but what would/could be the rules for using a wepioan 2 handed? medium capacity/4 for a 10 Str PC gives us (66/4 = 16.5, rounded down =) 16 pounds, which covers most weapons.
