Just wondering, for the runewords that are applicable to certain weapons only (am looking at the runes.txt file in the MPQ).
If it says "melee weapons" -- which weapons are not considered melee weapons -- obviously, throwable items and bows/crossbows are not included, but how about sorceress orbs/staves and necro wands or assassin claws or paladin scepters (ie. the class-specific weapons) -- which are considered part of "melee" weapons?
Because I'm wondering if the AmnTir (Strength) runeword works on sorceress orbs/staves or necro wands (to be able to give some strength to wear heavier armors for sorc/necro)? Strength is listed as only working on "melee" weapons.
Similarly, does Malice runeword work on paladin scepters (I've tried it on Assassin claws and know that it works there).
Also, I'm a bit unclear about "mace" and "hammers" item type. Does "mace" include clubs (eg. spiked club) and maces (eg. morning star) but not scepters nor hammers (eg. war hammer)? Also, what are the only items that are considered hammers (just war hammer and the excep/elite versions of it)? Is the maul/great maul part of "maces" or "hammers"?
