Editing Weapon Balance (section)

=== 3. Playstyle Identities ===

Instead of leaving weapons as simple reskins, we applied a percentage-based Spread (variance) around that average to give each weapon a distinct playstyle.

The spread formula calculates the minimum and maximum damage around the Average Damage (derived from the base formula) using a specific percentage modifier for each weapon class or style:

* '''Min. Damage:''' (Average x (1 - Spread))
* '''Max. Damage:''' (Average x (1 + Spread))

'''Example (Long Sword: 15 Ingots, 9 Weight and Spread 45%):'''
* Base Average: 4 + (15 x 0.5) + (9 x 0.75) = 18.25
* Min Damage: (18.25 x (1 - 0.45)) = 10
* Max Damage: (18.25 x (1 + 0.45)) = 26
* Final Damage = 10, 26
