Agreed Jeff. I should use 'realistic' carefully. I was concerned more about parity. Your points have helped clarify.

 Has anybody tried to flesh out the 'even' weapon and armor values. I remember a previous post that proposed dividing the max weapon damage RQ by 2 to get a wider range of values. This seems a bit too much --too 'realism' seeking. However, not having a wider range of weapons and armor is frustrating as well. I seem to remember bastard swords being an example of a ^4--any others?

Thanks.
