Many weapons have minimum requirements for Brawn, Grace and Size. Should you not meet those requirements, you can still use the weapon, but you will suffer a penalty to Attack/Defence/Damage equal to twice the bonus normally gained from that stat for every point below the requirement you are (with a maximum penalty of 3 times). The penalties per stat are therefore as follows:
| - | - |
|---|---|
| Brawn | -0/-4/-8/-12 Damage, depending on penalty. |
| Grace | -0/-8/-16/-24 Attack and -0/-6/-12/-18 Defence, depending on penalty. |
| Size | -0/-4/-8/-12 Attack and -0/-2/-4/-6 Damage, depending on penalty. |
Note that the above penalties are colour-coded the same as when you look at the weapon, and are applied to your character before percentage modifiers.
