On the other hand, it got my mind whirling :)

Thought of an additional way to reflect possible damage for teeny
weapons and big weapons.

Let's call regular weapons which do 1/3/6/10 Class II weapons.

Weapons which really don't do much damage at all could be Class I
weapons which would have a damage track of 1/2/3/4.

And then there are the big Class III weapons which have a damage track
of 2/6/12/20.

Just more of my musings, take em or leave em :)
