Re: [HoE] [Goff] Hand to Hand and AP

Yeah, I addressed this question to.  But John didn't seem to be actively 
monitoring the list as much at that time, so I addressed it in a kinda 
general sorta way.  I'll be curious to hear the answer too.

One thing though - what kind of "standard" sword does 3d8 damage?  According 
to the chart on page 59, a Sword and a Battle-ax do STR +2d8 damage (and 
given that the Battle-Ax otherwise is worse than the Sword DB and 
Speed-wise, one wonders why anyone ever bothers with the latter except to 
look cool or because you're an Anti-Templar ;) ), and the Great-Ax does 
STR+2d10 (and has the same DB/Speed as a Battle-ax, so again, why bother 
with the latter...?).

Granted, you can *everybody say it in chorus :) * "Do anything you want in 
your campaign."  But since there was no mention that this was a personal GM 
variation on the printed rules, I was kinda curious...
