Being too wimpy to lift a sword

[LivingTriskele]

If you don't have the minimum STR/DEX to use a shield your skill level is Difficult.

Under the Weapons section, page 257, the STR/DEX requirement gives no such guidelines but asks "What are the minimum STR and DEX required to use the weapon?"

Is it safe to assume that not meeting the minimum STR/DEX for a specific weapon makes it Difficult as well? In RQ, you are penalized -5% for every deficient point.

Page 247 gives rough guidelines/suggestions:

Additional fatigue points

Skill rolls are Difficult

Requires a successful associated stat roll for whichever stat is insufficient.

I prefer the old RQ rules for both shields and weapons. More granular.
