Judge Against: Swords

From Discworld MUD Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This was a research page intended to help tighten up various weapon ratings with old judge. Basically, it used "judge against" to compare various swords in the same rating range.

Since Judge works differently now, this can be updated with new information now that someone has high enough skills to compare reliably. All old information has been scrapped.

Consistent "judge against" results ONLY
Here are some judge comparison results at 21 strength. Some weapons that have the same judge results also compare the same for the most part but there are some that don't. I thought that they were all the same at first but the long sword vs rapier one isn't so so much for that theory :P.

For reference, the "Slicey Thing" is a rose-hilted long sword and the "High Voltage Probe" is a custom katana (light version).

A wider variety of weapons that are close in ranges would be best for testing with I feel. There's not much to conclude from what results I have here. Some sort of chart would probably be nice. If someone wants, they can verify that the individual weapon ratings are correct using this info. --Baldarov 15:25, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
