Many weapons are heavy, requiring a minimum Strength attribute to wield effectively.

If a PC lacks the strength, they cannot wield the weapon in the usual manner. For single handed weapons only, however, they may attempt to wield it with the following penalties:

1. A single handed weapon will require both hands (they can't carry anything else, including a shield)
2. they will function at Default-2 Skill for that weapon.

2-handed weapons may not be used at all if their min Str requirement is not met.

Armor and Shields may not be used at all if their min Str requirement is not met.
