>From everything I have read the delay on our fists is between 30 and 38, 30
being with haste spell of some sort. I would never suggest someone use a 1hb
weapon at all unless there is a 1hb weapon that weighs less than a pound or
so. Holding a black enamled mace I can keep my wieght to 14 if I take off my
shoes. but to me it is just not worth it at this point in time.
