+2 chance out of what? Shouldn't this information be given in a neutral format, such as a percentage? Either that or there should be a link to a page explaining the combat mechanics. --Geofferic 02:16, 13 December 2007 (EST)

The combat mechanic itself is too purely understood for now to say anything better then to compare which weapon has bigger number and so is better at certain things. Of course the +2 number can be substituted with a verbal description that would still mean exactly the same. :( --Another 08:19, 13 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Chance of getting stuck

The weapon page says that weapons like spears are the most likely to get stuck in the target, whereas this page says they're less likely than swords. Which is it? — Wisq (talk) 23:54, 4 February 2008 (EST)

[edit] Other materials?
