I've been working on trying to balance, differentiate, and add to the weapons in the DW main book. What do you folks think of the following approach?
Dagger (1d6, 3) * Short Sword (1d6, 4) Sword (1d8, 4) Two-handed Sword (1d10, 5) **
Hand Axe (1d4, 4) * Battle Axe (1d6, 5) Great Axe (1d8, 6) **
Cudgel (1d4, 3) Staff (1d6, 3) **
Mace (1d6+1, 4) Morning Star (1d8, 5) Maul (1d8+1, 5) **
Spear (1d6, 3) *** Halberd (1d8, 4) ** ***
Warhammer (1d10, 3)
* These weapons can be thrown ** These weapons require two hands to use *** These weapons can be used to attack from the second rank
One other consideration that I figured for is how many characters making their way down a typical 10' (3m) wide corridor could fight beside each other for each type of weapon. Characters using daggers, short swords, hand axes, and spears could fight 3 abreast. Two-handed swords, great axes, morning stars, and mauls would require users to fight solo. The remainder would allow for 2 characters to fight adjacent to each other.
