rdfs:label	Archaic Weapons
rdfs:comment	Archaic Weapons are a broad category of non-powered melee and range weapons, ranging from improvised weapons to weapons designed specifically for combat. In a high-tech setting like the Star Frontiers game, it is not unusual to encounter people making use of archaic weapons. Gunmen might be forced to use a piece of furniture or junk to make an improvised club when their ammo runs out, which is a reason to carry a dedicated melee weapon. Some people or worlds might uphold weapon traditions that favor archaic weapons. On unsettled world inhabited by primitive people, the only weapons they have access to are archaic weapons. In that case, they would have a wider variety of archaic weapons, including primitive forms of armor like hide or plant-fiber armor,mail and/or plate to protect themselve

In that case, they would have a wider variety of archaic weapons, including primitive forms of armor like hide or plant-fiber armor,mail and/or plate to protect themselves from their own primitive weapons. In all cases, Inertia screens and skeinsuits will halve the damage received from archaic weapons.
