The weapon table: what the scriber can fight with, and what each costs.

A weapon is a plain map with the fields in t/0. Scriber.Game reads them like this:

• hits — swings per attack; a later swing is skipped if an earlier one killed the target
• power — replaces the attacker's own power for the roll
• defence — the player's mitigation while holding it
• pierce — armour the swing ignores
• parry — probability in 0.0..1.0 of turning an incoming hit aside entirely
• stun — probability in 0.0..1.0 that a hit costs the target its next action

Damage per swing is max(1, power + d4 - max(target_defence - pierce, 0) - 1), and armour applies to each swing separately, so a multi-hit weapon loses more to a heavily armoured target than a single-hit one of equal total power.

Every weapon costs the same; the choice is which, not how much. Upgrades to power and defence cost more the more of them have been bought.

Example

Scriber.Gear.fetch(:daggers).hits
#=> 2
Scriber.Gear.power_cost(2)
#=> 75
