RuneQuest shortswords...

[MBdS]

Do they really can be set against a charge, or more probably were meant to have the "2" apex near them, so they can impale (see table on page 33)?

Interesting. The preview has the shortsword right. It has a "1" for a footnote, which reads "This weapon will impale an opponent upon a critical hit."

Maybe it's been streamlined? It meets the critera:

1) It is causing confusion.
2) It doesn;t make sense
3) it is a change from previous edtions of RQ.

:wink:

Good spot! I just assumed it meant the impale footnote.
