Interested in making character too.

However I got some questions about the system. Namely the really dumb weapon class thing that seems to be implying weight and how Hyllians are stupidly weak. Since the book lists longswords twice in the chart, long sword and "hand and a half sword" which is one of those sword types that can be gripped in both one or two hands 

The average American gallon of milk is 8.6 pounds and the heaviest swords for fighting were half that weight. Which is really nonsensical since that implies Hyllians are hilariously weak despite being the normal human species analogue, apparently no one can lift 4 or more pounds without special training and items. Continuing with nonsensical crap how the hell is spear a heavy weapon? Unless they mean pike which you wouldn't be using  as weapon to fight individually to begin with. Spears while limited in attack motions aren't that slow.
