[QUOTE="Shadowdragon, post: 3499391, member: 20142"] What would be good maximum ranges for the following weapons? I'm looking for both the maximum range overall, and the maximum range at which the weapon still has a chance of hitting and injuring a single human-sized target. weak bow (about 50lb draw weight) average bow (about 100lb draw weight) strong bow (about 150lb draw weight weak crossbow (about 100lb draw weight) average crossbow (about 250lb draw weight) strong crossbow (about 400lb draw weight) javelin sling (with either lead bullets or regular stones) throwing axe (lke a francisca) throwing knife Also, does anyone use the rules for carrying capacity in the rpgs they play? Is there a system out there that has a very quick and easy way to keep track of encumbrance? Something that not only accounts for each object's weight, but also their bulk (a greatsword only weighs a few pounds, but you're not going to be able to carry more than a few without having your mobility reduced) [/QUOTE]
