Just before we went down, I was about to adjust jagged warswords because essentially they were a poor man's heron.
With Flash back in the picture, we were able to get some insight into the formulas that affect bash and melee damage. Using that info, I've made some adjustments.
This has to be the most scientifically driven change ever, as opposed to seeing what other weapons do and then just going with something. That doesn't mean things are going to be perfect, but at least it was a change involving calculations to get the jagged warswords into a certain bash-ability range. That in itself is a novelty!
Weapons changed include:
jagged edged warsword
ivory and gold-hilted longsword
enormous double-bladed battleaxe
The e-axe had its damage rolls changed slightly. It still does the same max damage, but it should be a bit more reliable in the damage it does now.
