[ rogue weapon values - - - ]


	In response to your request for weapon information, I was able to get
ahold of the following, These are the values for the weapons on the version of
rogue I play.  I dont know how they compare with other people's versions.
Each is the value for a wielded weapon.

 arrow			1d1
 bardiche		3d4
 bastard sword		2d8
 battle axe	 	1d8
 crossbow		1d1
 crossbow bolt		1d2
 dagger			1d6
 dart			1d1
 halberd		2d6
 long sword		1d12
 mace			2d4
 pike			1d12
 rock			1d2
 short bow		1d1
 sling			0d0
 spear			1d6
 spetum			2d6
 trident		3d4
 two-handed sword	3d6

The value for rock is if you are wielding a sling,
The value for arrow is if you are wielding a bow,
The value for crossbow bolt is if you are wielding a crossbow.

The notations XdY means X die Y where you have X dice, each Y sided.
Therefore a 3d4 (trident) means you have 3 dice, each one 4 sided,
you can roll anything from a 3 (all balls) to a 12 (all 4's).

There are other attributes to take into account on weapons (besides
the values above). Such as weight, price, etc, etc.

If a weapon has two numbers in front of it, like a "+3 +4 mace", that means
that +3 is added to your chances of hitting a monster when you attack, and
that +4 is added into the number of HP damage you inflict on the monster.

(Other things are taken into account when you attack a monster, such as
strength, etc).

Please comment as to whether these are right or not if you know (or think)
otherwise.  - - Is my intrepretation of the X die Y principle right?

If you find this information useful, please return the favor and post
some hints, tidbits, etc, which you've found useful, I still dont know
how to handle Giant Ants.
