Breaking

Is there a possibility of weapons breaking? I know that if you force the lock of a chest or box with edged weapons, they can break. But recently, when I killed a dwarf I got the message 'The dwarf's broad short sword shatters from the force of your blow!' How is this possible? (If it makes a difference, that was the killing blow.) --206.75.108.8 01:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Weapon choice

There should be a section on which weapon to choose. Tjr 01:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I was considering trying to make a spreadsheet with a listing of all the monsters, their size, etc, alongside all the weapon damages (including artifacts) and weighting them (in the sense of a weighted average) against their challenge rating... would create a figure that allows sorting which weapons are the best. Be a heckuva project, though it'd be pretty nice to have here eventually. Eh, give me a few weeks, few months maybe. Feagradze 13:57, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
Whew, I'm a long way from done, but I did include a strategy section just now with a spiffy chart. It's pretty primitive, and I'll have to revise it about four times, but at least it's something. Feagradze 06:32, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
That's some good work. --FJH 03:09, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
