Here's a work in progress i started at work after reading Bromms thread on the confusion on what weapon does what hope u like it let me know anything that needs changing

1. Which metal types bypass the damage reduction (DR) of particular monsters
2. Aligned weapons and monsters
3. Elemental effects
4. Which bane types work on which monsters
5. Special weapon types
