At your collective suggestion, I have modified the AvD benefit for crafted weapons to be additive instead of multiplicative:

Quality	AvD
Perfect	+3
Superior	+2
Elegant	+1
Fine/Nice/Plain	+0
Simple	-1
Crude	-2
Flimsy	-3

This method is an improvement for almost all elegant+ weapons relative to the current system and provides a distinct (albeit small) difference for each quality grade. This update also corrects a bug in calculating the AvD when the base AvD is negative.

Cheers, GM Bernt
