I guess I'm just not sure where they came up with the values that they did in the handouts in the Deluxe box. Here are some examples:

Hidden Gale, Cutrid the Black has an enchanted lead mace ^7, and Dorhilla the Gleeful has a hickory staff with bells ^4.

Ibex Moon: Phalinde the Friendly has an enchanted bow from Pent ^6

Army of Tomorrow: Rjorni the Grim has magical bronze mail shirt, greaves, & round shield ^7 and a silver torque (^4 in combat); Guy of Nolos has an enchanted iron-bound staff ^5, which also allows him to attack spirits in close combat.

The part that confuses me is that there's nothing in the character description which gives me any idea why these devices have the values that they do. If A player comes to me and says "I want a sword as powerful as Cutrid the Black's mace", am I giving him a hugely powerful weapon? What kind of scale am I dealing with here?
