Playtest away...

There were four adventures: Rogar, Melf, Arn, and Zeik. Each had reached a different level (4, 5, 6, or 7) in their chosen class (Warrior, Wizard, Cleric, or Rogue). And each wielded a different weapon: Sword, Staff, Axe, or Mace. Given the clues below, figure out who was what at which level wielding what.

1. Rogar would never use a bludgeoning weapon, he believes them to be just for sissies and wizards.
2. Zeik is a sissy. But not a wizard. And he’s not the lowest-level character, either.
3. The Cleric has achieved the highest level.
4. Arn uses a Sword, and his level is a prime number.
5. The rogue uses an edged weapon, and is at a higher level than the wizard.
6. The staff-wielder is the lowest-level character.
7. The Warrior wields an axe, like all good warriors do.

Please post your solution, and let me know if you find a contradiction or possibility for multiple solutions.

Arn is the level 5 rogue, with the sword.
Melf is the level 4 wizard, with the staff.
Rogar is the level 6 warrior, with the axe.
Zeik is the level 7 cleric, with the mace.

I don't think you need to tell us that Zeik is a sissy...it may seem like a cute throwaway comment, but it might have been misleading. The fact of the puzzle is that it wasn't, but it definitely could have been. I chose to ignore it.

Also, an axe can be used as a bludgeoning weapon, though it has an edge. Could that be clarified a bit more? And, for that matter, what category is the "staff"? It's a blunt object for hittin', but you have to be pretty tiny for a staff-beating to be considered a bludgeoning.

What else would you call a staff if not a bludgeoning weapon? You can't effectively slash or stab with it.

Zeik as a sissy was intended to be a bonus clue--he uses a bludgeoning weapon, but isn't a wizard.

Intended, perhaps...but Rogar only "thinks" that bludgeoning weapons are for sissies and wizards...I just thought it was his opinion, and not necessarily a fact.
