If u were able to find a weapon that weighs less then the min weapon weight.. i.e. an old weapon that doesnt fit the normal profile... mechanically does it make any difference .. especially maybe for roundtime or a cman.. ?? I am talking actual weapon lbs ... like a handaxe being less then 3lbs like 2 or 1

Thanks

Hurling rt could be affected.

I think I tested this out for twc with a 1 pound handaxe, but it's been so long that I don't recall if it made a difference. That would be the other area it could make a difference: off hand twc.

The opportunity cost of not having a perfect forge weapon is pretty high, it is doubtful that you could find any mechanical advantage that would be equivalent. Just us a maxlight perfect weapon and don't worry about weapon weight

General encumbrance
RT if used Offhand in TWC
MStrike Recovery. For polearms it was 1 pound = 1 second of recovery, less of a delta for smaller weapons, iirc.
With all of the lightening notes available from RofL, the cost of maxlighting is incredibly low for weapons.

I think the question is more of a "does it help if I happen to have a sub-minimum weight weapon" question.

Yes if i have a weapon which when max lightened it is less then the max lightened weight .. its really old... seems to me probably not very beneficial
