Weapon 'weight'?

Apologies if this is an exceedingly daft question - but I don't like to make assumptions...

I notice that for the feat weapon finesse it requires a 'light weapon'. How exactly does one know whether or not their weapon is light? When I examine mine it only tells me the 'size' (as in medium, small etc).

it should say how much it weighs...maybe look weapon

But "light" is reletive... "light" might be 30 lbs to someone of 20 str while with someone of 10 str... "light" might be 2 lbs

Just as a point of reference... most weapons, swords particularly, will not weigh more than five pounds. An average sword is between three and four pounds. Of course this is different with other weapons (warhammer, mauls, flails, etc..) but its trouble enough to move a three to four pound sword around for a prolonged battle. Anything more than that becomes impractical.

A light weapon would be a dagger or rapier rather than a longsword or maul. It would likely include small axes and maces.

If the feat mimics the d20 version (it should do, but I can not recall exactly) then there will be a note on the net somewhere I suspect
