- Length is not the only factor for choosing a weapon class. For example, a very heavy shortsword could be a "medium" weapon.
- Weapons of class 5 and higher are best wielded with two hands; use 2nd class for single-handed use.
- "Ready" is the number of dice to spend drawing or readying the weapon for use.
