Oh how about armor piercing and criticals? Or a weapon not on the list such as a mace?
Um, the chart
Table: Larger and Smaller Weapon Damage on the url given above just gives an example of a weapon doing a given damage die, so if you are asking about a like weapon (like a mace which in Conan does 1d8 for a light mace and 1d10 for a heavy mace
(p125AE) then look up the 1d8 and 1d10 item in the chart on the url for Medium sized creatures (Long sword and Bastard sword, respectively). For criticals, compare to like weapons in the chart
Table: Weapons further down the web page. The Conan AE breaks out weapons by type, for example the two maces described
(again, p 125AE) are under One-Handed Melee Weapons, so...hmmm, here's a cunundrum, as a Heavy Mace isn't really a 1-h weapon, but I'd recommend looking at similar weapons in the chart (like warhammer or great club, respectively) and use the stats for that used item.
For armor-piercing, I'm getting really tired now so may not be at top form at this point (too much alcohol), but armor hardness doesn't change with size so neither should AP, consider instead that the weapon damage changes with size over area covered (large creatures do more damage with a longsword sized to them (2d6) than medium sized longsword wielders (1d8). If someone from Mongoose wants to clarify/contradict, that'd be great, but that's how it seems to me at this lightly inebriated state in this very late hour. :wink: Hope this helps.
