Basic steel spear plus shield gives 2H-polearms weapon skill
OK, so my human fighter began play with a +1 steel spear (d8+0 piercing, wussy STR 11, thankyouverymuch) and a medium wooden shield. I go into the dungeon, kill some stuff, check my weapon skills and instead of getting marks in the 1h polearms skill I'm getting marks in the 2H polearms skill. Intentional? Either the starting gear doesn't properly check handedness, or my fighter has a third arm :).

Oh, wait: shouldn't the +1 spear give at least a +1 to damage?

+1 is +1 to hit (not like a general +1 like in D&D - JADE is a lot more differentiated ;-) )

But otherwise you are correct - I forgot to add correct handling for 1H/2H weapons - which is surprisingly difficult to implement with generic inventories and arbitrary bodyparts for beings.

On that note, will there be a quick-check key for weapon to-hits and to-damage like in ADOM? Very useful.

'W' should do the trick :-)

It is even possible to train a lot of different skills by just using one weapon:
Blunt Weapons (1H) at L13
Blunt Weapons (1H) at L14
Blunt Weapons (1H) at L15
As you can see the marks of the other skills don't change.

This is intentional - check this.

Thank you. I was wondering if that might be the reason, bit I was not sure.
