melee weapons

Difficulty to use, balance

Strength adder, would this be sharpness, blade area?

Max damage, strength of weapon material?

Oops,

Thinking out about Basker.

If you made a melee weapon out of it.
It could parry a lightsaber.
It's harder then normal metal and it can be sharpened better.
So would it add more to damage or raise the damage cap?

Was half asleep when i posted that. And hadn't finished the post.

I'm not sure why the Mandalorian armor would add or reduce damage or difficulty. If forged properly it would be light and durable. Though it should be able to stop a lightsaber.

Yes i didn't know if it would do more damage, just that the strength cap might be as the weapon can take more strain?

The fluff said that it can be sharpened better but dose that mean more damage or something else?

I'd say it would increase the max damage. So a vibro dagger is normally max 6d, regardless of whether the regular ones (Str+1d) or the Talon models (Str+2d). A Besker (mando iron) made one imo would go to Str+2d base with a 7d max.

Well, if this helps, the most traditional Mandalorian weapons were made by Mythosaur bones, not of Mandalorian Iron.

Also, during the Mandalorian Wars, Mandalore the Ultimate's axe was made of a Cortosis alloy.

To me, this implies that Mandalorian Iron wasn't really capable of or useful on weapons. I've only ever heard of it as a component in Armor, Doors, Shackles, and starfighter plating.

The only weapon I can find that is actually made of Mandalorian Iron is the Bes'bev which is actually a flute/dagger.

Man, Mandalorians are awesome. Someone should make a Mandalorian sourcebook at some point.
