I'm new to Mongoose Traveller - Jumping over from MT and CT, which I haven't played in 20 years. I like what you've done to update melee weapons and make those useless skill roles (blade-2) useful again. It would be nice to see a single complete table of weapons printed to compare so you could spot obvious pricing and over or under strength problems. Here's my observations and thoughts on section 14.

Staff: Typically a makeshift peasant’s weapon, the staff remains easily accessible to the lowest serf and yet effective in skilled hands.. This should have a Parry Bonus?
Where is the Stun Staff?
Monoblade: Is there a monoblade option available for Sword, Cutlass, Dagger, Axe, Hatchet, Spear, Etc.?


War Pick: Is there a Static War Pick or Mono War Pick option?

Knuckleblasters: Are there there penalties to the attacker using these? How long does it take to put them on initially?

Buckler: A small wood and metal shield held in the hand and used to parry incoming blows, a buckler is requires (missing?) skill to use effectively.

Gravitic Shield: This item seems inexpensive at Cr150

Riot Shield: A round or rectangular shield of fireproof <?> bullet resistant(?) plastic, This item seems inexpensive at Cr175[/i]

Keep up the great work, I have a lot of catching up to do. Looking forward to running my players through Drinax. Thanks!
