Similar weapon use

[Choinski, Burton]

I have handled similar weapons in a sort of "GURPS" like way. This is
because, having fired both a Recurve bow and a long bow, I can't see how Joe
archer with EL8 in Composite would be EL0 in other bows.

What I do is for all weapons in a skill catagory, using a related weapon
uses the EL in that weapon, or 1/2 the EL of the greatest skill in the
category, whichever is higher.  Experience is not gained in the
lesser-skilled weapons, however, unless they are actually used.  Skill
increases are normal.

I also expanded the weapons a bit...I added a "Heavy Mace" and "Heavy Axe"
category (2-handed versions of these weapons), since these really are fairly
different in operation from the 1-handed weapons.
