Here's the new melee stats if anyone is interested. let me know what you think
Looks good, but I'm not sure what you intend with the "Power Song" bonus. Do we have to chant or something in combat or did you mean...swing.... :wink-new:
Other than that, consider the following:
1. Forged Iron is heavier than Forged Steel, but perhaps you are using cast iron which is lighter. Id make steel augmented weapons have less delay unless your thinking cast iron.
2. Night sticks are small and fast, so should use less stamina than clubs or bats
3. Sledge may need more delay. Ever use one to hit something thats not very solid (like a pumpkin on a post?). Its hard to recover from the follow through and then setup for a second hit. Burns stamina like crazy too.
4. Knives, swords and small axes should be significantly faster than clubs of all kinds.
I'm heading out for a business trip soon so cant really study this with the time it warrants, but I think its good to go for the first release.
On a final note, I notice the great detail in the damage bonuses to materials. Perhaps this is just thoroughness on your part, but I cant help wonder if you are thinking of introducing Zeds with surface category "material" other than organic. Cops wear body armor, maybe concrete coated workers, accountants with glass jaws .....
