Diadem of Maunstraut

when i was referring to assess i did mean the vendor type btw. Like tom said that is how you get the npc to tell you about the items in your inventory. The work around for your situation (as i mentioned earlier) is to simply remove the description from the items you want only special npcs to know about...and then create "haveitem=1" events for the items in question with the various npcs scattered about.

additionally, the weight system in SOM is based on kilograms and not pounds, which might added to your confusion in creating 'realistic' weights. If you consider that 1kilo = 2.2 lbs then you can understand that a standard medieval dagger weighed about .5 kilos (just over a pound) and a long sword somewhere in the range of 1.7-2 kilos. An axe would likely be 2.5 kilos or more. At that rate the game actually does make sense if your character starts with a strength of say 5-10 and it increases by one every level and every 100 attack swings. The character could start out swinging a dagger/short sword just fine and in a few levels pick up a long or broad sword and have decent recovery. Believe it or not Tom, your weapons having a 1 kilo weight isnt that far off from reality ;)
