rules for flint weapons?

[stumbling tiger]

Hello fellow RuneQuesters

Does anyone have houserules for using flint or other stone weapons? Since flint weapons are the default in Balazar, Griffin Mountain really ought to describe them, but all I've found is that they're beautifully crafted, a staple of the Balazar export trade, and that (despite the stuff about beauty) all natives covet an upgrade to bronze weapons.

What I have in mind is that flint weapons have fewer AP than bronze, break easily on Fumble rolls, and maybe do a little less damage.

What have you done?

if you whant flint weapons suggest waiting for slaine RQ as it uses flint weapons and the stats must be now compatable to the rest of the runequest multi-verse

Look at the RuneQuest Companion. It has rules for stone weapons in the character creation section, where it describes the Primitive background. Should work well for flint weapons, too.
