This has probably been discussed here before, but a quick gander through previous posts didn't immediately reveal anything. So I figured I'd just throw it out there: page-20 of the Holmes rule book states light weapons such as the dagger allow two blows per round. Given that all weapons in Holmes inflict 1d6 damage, this little quirk in the rules would seem to make the dagger, with two attacks & potential 2d6 damage per round, the RAW weapon of choice. Curious about how others handle this. Do you ignore or embrace this apparent broken mechanic? And if you embrace it, do you classify any other weapons as light? Just as idiosyncratic are the heavy two-handed weapons such as the two-handed sword, battle axe, flail & pole arms. These only attack once every other round, which begs the question: other than being the only available weapon, why on earth would any PC choose one of these? Again, do you embrace or ignore? Or perhaps I'm missing something & misinterpreting all this.
