I am not sure it is directly from RQ2, but ...
Sp. Blunt Weapon = weapon dam + DB + Maximum BD
Sp. Slash Weapon = weapon dam + weapon dam + DB
Sp. Impail Weapon = weapon dam + Maximum Weapon dam +
DB
Critical = ignore all armor (execept for parrying
armor) or choose location and do regular damage.
Modified Parry rules:
I use shaft on shaft rules for combat involving things
like spears vs spear. So a successful parry reduces
the level of attack as opposed to going against the
armor points of the parrying weapon.
Sp. parry = Parrying weapon takes no damage
Cr. parry = Parrying weapon APx2 plus as Sp. parry
Note: assuming none of the weapon involved are magical
or have Divine magic cast on them.
