Weapon Roundtime Research

Since the old formula was out of date, I've decided to do some research to get some current data. To accomplish this, I've crafted up a variety of weapons intending to check out roundtimes on each one for individuals with various strength, agility and skill levels. I've got several characters on the low end (20-30 str/agi), and have already found someone on the high end (75 str/agi), but I need people in the in-between. If you're interested in helping me figure it out, please drop me a line at KashnaDR via AIM. Once I have sufficient data to produce something worthwhile I'll post the results here.

First recognition: The current chart that indicates minimum possible roundtimes is accurate. With 75 str/agi one achieves 2/4/5 with all but the heaviest twohanders, 2/4/4 with all large edge/blunt, and 1/3/3 with all medium & small edge/blunt. ...with an occasional 2-second lunge/thrust for the light varieties. As such, I'm removing the "out-of-date" notice from the article.

That said, I would still like assistance in figuring out the breakpoints for reduced roundtimes in the ranges of 34-48 or 78-90 strength. Please contact me if you're willing to assist in the research!

For those curious, here's a list of the weapons in question:
