<DIV><SPAN class=406294712-21052001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
handled similar weapons in a sort of "GURPS" like way. This is because, having
fired both a Recurve bow and a long bow, I can't see how Joe archer with EL8 in
Composite would be EL0 in other bows.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=406294712-21052001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>What I
do is for all weapons in a skill catagory, using a related weapon uses the EL in
that weapon, or 1/2 the EL of the greatest skill in the category, whichever is
higher. Experience is not gained in the lesser-skilled weapons, however,
unless they are actually used. Skill increases are
normal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=406294712-21052001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I also
expanded the weapons a bit...I added a "Heavy Mace" and "Heavy Axe" category
(2-handed versions of these weapons), since these really are fairly different in
operation from the 1-handed weapons.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
