if you are going by that lamgwin, then the wot stuff would be a TON lighter. For example (bwhahah!): When perin was fighting aram. the book said something like this: He knew that he couldn't keep on deflecting 5 lbs of steel with his 10 lb hammer. Thus, according to that world the plat mace would way around 10-11 and the heron would be tops 6. So the only actually realistic weapon we have now would be daggers. I think that it is best to use the medieval era as it will balance the gameplay and realism. If we use the books, our system would become skewered.

I never referred to the Roman era as being part of the medieval, nor did I use them in my initial argument. In fact you were the one who used Roman/Greek weights and weaponry as a comparison to what we have in this mud now. After you used them, I brought in my comparisons, and also stated that they were not included in the medieval era that I was talking about.

As for the rest you are correct. I do not know what exactly RJ had in his mind. I'm simply going off of my assumptions from what I've read in his books. After all, can we go off of anything more? It's very hard to bring up facts when you are speaking of a fantasy world, but if you look at his writing and how he spelled his stories out then you get a picture of where he was coming from.
Maybe this picture is different for you than it was for me. I do not know, and I do not presume to know your mind. I do know, however, that we have a mud that is based purely off of assumptions on what RJ's world was like, and it is peppered with our own imaginations and creativity. That is what this whole MUD is, is it not? My basis for this whole argument isn't that we don't understand this fantasy world or what RJ's mind process was, but rather that we can gather from his wording that he was indeed going off of the same era and statistics that i've brought up
