Forgive me if I have a case of RTFM here, but in reading through the Weapons and Armor section of the WotR rulebook, I have questions:

1) Glaives provide +1 to F, and two-Handed Weapons provide +1 to hit but -1 to F. The rules imply that these factors are not bundled into the Bestiary listings, and that seems true. Are they?

2) Assuming they are not (which seems likely), why? You can't mix-n-match weapons in WotR. Galadhrim Warriors get glaives. That's it. So why not just add the +1 to F in their profile and say they have hand weapons?

When I was your age, plastic figs were more expensive than metal ones, and an AC of 1 was awesome. Get off my lawn!

They are not, because the rulebook was very much a rush job. There was a lot of cut-and-paste from the LotR rules.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.
