[Slawbug]

Minor cautionary note: some of the numbers are a little off here due to the fact that experience level also affects damage dice. They are pretty close, though.

[Randomizer]

I tried to normalize damage dice by comparing a known weapon from the start of the game, crude dagger, with an unknown weapon so I could subtract skills and levels. A few of the pole weapons still gave strange results.

[Slawbug]

I've been looking at the list as I go through working on the treatment, and there are more than a few that are off -- I haven't even gotten to pole weapons yet. They are mostly off by 1 or 2, so it's not a big deal.

[Derael]

Probably worth mentioning that Frozen Blade scales with INT instead of STR. Hit chance is also affected by INT (my mage had 95% vs giants at level 20).

Damage with 35 INT and a few % magic damage bonuses is 75-270. While Steel Broadsword on my Warrior does 73-292 damage (with 39 STR).Overall a decent weapon for mages if you are fighting in melee for some reason and want to conserve mana (damage is slightly lower than icy rain, comparable to fireblast). Good vs fire immune enemies. But if you don't have problems with mana better use something defensive in weapon slot.
