List of Weapons

Weapon Size

A weapon’s size determines how well a creature can handle it. A weapon's maximum possible damage decides the size of the weapon, which is displayed within parentheses in the table below. The size category of the creature then determines how it's able to handle the weapon. The larger the creature is, the larger the weapons it can use.

Weapon Handling	Tiny	Small	Medium	+	Large	+	Huge	+	Gargantuan	+

If a creature has the Powerful Build race feature or the Mighty Grip feat, then the creature can wield a weapon of one size larger. A small creature can use weapons the same way a medium creature can, a medium-sized creature can wield larger weapons, but not to the same extent as a large creature. The "+" represents the in-between stages between size categories past medium size.

 

Light

When a weapon is considered light for a creature, it's small and easy to handle with great ease. When you are wielding a weapon that counts as Light for you, you can use a bonus action to make an offhand attack with that weapon. An offhand attack is when you don't add your ability modifier to the damage roll, unless that modifier is negative. Wielding two weapons of this type is ideal for use when fighting with two weapons, allowing you to make an offhand attack without expending a bonus action.

One-Handed

A creature is either large or strong enough to wield the weapon in one hand. When a weapon is wielded with one hand, apply the wielder’s Strength bonus to damage rolls for melee attacks. Some weapons can only be wielded with one hand due to how it is constructed, and unless the creature is strong or large enough, it will roll with disadvantage on attacks with the weapon.

Two-Handed

When using both hands, a creature is able to wield most weapons, if its construction allows it. When a melee weapon is wielded with two hands, apply 1½ times the wielder’s Strength bonus to damage rolls for attacks.

Throwing

Any weapon or item can be thrown by you at a target or direction of your choice. The weapon or item thrown counts as a ranged attack, except that the weapon is the projectile. Equipping a weapon in hand requires a free action, and if you want to throw a second weapon on the same turn, you either need to have used the free action on your previous turn or have the Thrown Weapon Fighting feat. You use the same ability modifier for range throw attacks as the melee attack roll and damage roll. The normal range of throwing an item is equal to your strength score, while the maximum range is your normal range times 3. If you need to use both hands to wield the weapon, then the normal range is 5.
Throwing range: (Strenght Score / Strenght Score x3)

Mastery

Certain weapons have a set number that represents a certain degree of complexity or skill required to utilise the weapon to its fullest potential. The number will be accompanied by an ability score, usually one that matches its construction or function. The damage size of the weapon sets the base mastery value, which can increase depending on the number of properties that grant an extra effect through mastery. When your ability score is equal to or greater than the set mastery number, you gain the benefit that the mastery specifies. If your ability score isn't high enough, you can roll a Skill check that uses the specified ability, where the mastery number is the DC. Succeeding allows you to gain the benefit specified by the mastery.

 

Inappropriately Sized Weapons

At certain thresholds, a creature's size and strength won't be enough to wield a weapon with both hands effectively. At first, a creature can still wield a weapon as long as it does not have the Reach property. But with a greater size, it will attack with disadvantage. One size larger, and the creature won't be able to wield the weapon at all. That is its maximum possible.  

Types of weapons

There are 4 weapon types, each determining how it can be wielded as well as what properties it can have.

Hilted

The weapon is primarily made of one type of material with a softer grip at one end to allow it to be used effectively. It can be gripped on other parts, but using it in that manner is not ideal. These types of weapons are usually swords and small clubs that present great versatility in wielding. There are two variations, Hilted and Long-hilted. A long-hilted weapon can be wielded with either one or two hands, depending on size, but a Hilted handle can only be wielded with one hand.

Design effect. Hilted weapons have the benefit of being versatile weapons, if properly made to capitalise on their form. Their damage type may affect it.

• All slashing weapons of this type have a threat range of 19-20. These are usually cutting swords.
• All piercing weapons of this type have the finesse property. These are usually thrusting swords.
• All bludgeoning weapons of this type are considered simple. These are usually clubs.

Fist

The weapon is designed to be worn on your hands. At the cost of your ability to manipulate your digits, things like cestuses, brass knuckles, or hand wraps.

Design effect. This type of weapon allows the wielder to use the damage die of the weapon instead of their unarmed attack. The damage type of the weapon replaces the damage type of their unarmed attacks, with two variants.

• Wearable. The weapon is wearable like armour, you can wield other weapons in the same hand the fist weapon is on, provided that you have mastery of it. And wearable fist weapons take one minute to put on and take off.
• Equipable. If the fist weapon is held like a weapon, it only takes a free action to equip, but you can't wield other weapons while the fist weapon is equipped.

Hafted

The weapon consists primarily of a long shaft, such as a spear, axe or halberd. All weapons of this type can be wielded either one-handed or two-handed, although wielding it with two hands is preferable.

Design effect. Due to the greater heft of the weapon, all weapons of this type have a x3 crit modifier. However, hafted weapons handle a bit differently depending on what property the weapon has:

• Reach. Hafted weapons have an extended reach up to 10 feet. However, while granting a greater range, it makes the weapon less effective up close. You have disadvantage when you use a hafted melee weapon to attack a target within 5 feet of you.
• Reach+ and Reach++. Hafted weapons with reach+ can target creatures up to 15 feet away. This attack has to be in a straight line and can't be curved around corners. Hafted weapons with reach++ can target creatures up to 20 feet away, but you have disadvantage when you use this hafted melee weapon to attack a target within 10 feet of you.

Ranged

These types of weapons are built in such a manner that they can inflict damage at a distance, by a means of launch some form of projectile at a target. Bows are the most commonly used means for this, but there are other types of weapons that can perform this task.

Design Effect. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has its range shown in parentheses after the range property. The range displays two numbers. The first is the weapon's normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon's maximum range. When attacking a target beyond the normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. Any attack against a target beyond the weapon's maximum range automatically misses. Unless specified otherwise, all weapons are operated with two hands, either to hold them or to need the other hand to reload the ranged weapon.

• Ranged attacks are made at disadvantage when there is a hostile creature within 5 feet of you.
• Ranged weapon with the loading property uses the mastery to load the weapon.
• For ranged weapons that don't have the Loading property, having mastery of the weapon doubles the normal and maximum ranges of the weapon.

Ammunition

A type of item that is designed to be launched from a weapon, but can still be used as an improvised weapon by either throwing or a melee attack. The ammunition itself has a damage die and type. However, when launched from the range weapon, its damage die changes to match the one specified by the weapon. The Ammunition used determines the damage type.

Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. The type of ammunition needed will be in the properties column. Drawing the ammunition from a personal container such as a quiver, bolt-case, or knife bandoleer allows it to be made as part of the attack, rather than needing to use a free action to grab it. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.

Threat range(Crirical Hits)

The threat range for a weapon indicates the likelihood of scoring a critical hit with that weapon. All attack rolls that fall into the given threat range, before adding any attack bonus, will result in a critical hit. The attack hits regardless of the target's AC. Weapons roll extra amount of dice for the attack's damage against the target. The relevant damage modifiers are however added as normal.  

Properties

Some properties can only be applied to specific weapons types.

Finesse

Weapons: One-Handed Hilted

When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Throwing Weapon.

Weapons: One-Handed hilted or hafted piercing

Some weapons are built to be easily transportable. Add +10 to the strength score for determining the normal range of the throw. And multiply it by 4 instead of 3 to determine the max range of the throw attack.

Protective Guard

Weapons: One-Handed hilted, hafted piercing or Fist

Wielding the weapon grants you advantage against any disarming attempts and +1 to AC.

Reach

Weapons: Two-Handed Hilted or Hafted.

This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it.
Reach+. adds 10 feet inasted, and increases the mastery needed by 2.
Reach++. adds 15 feet inasted, and increases the mastery needed by 4.
Mastery. You negate the disadvantage of attacking a target within 5 feet of you.

Hooked

Weapons: Any melee

You can use the weapon to Grabble, Trip, or Disarm a target in place of a free hand. While the weapon is used to grapple a target, it can't be used to attack another target other than the one that is grappled.
Mastery. You can roll and add the result of the weapon's damage die to grapple checks.

Concealable

Weapons: Any

You roll with advantage on any competing checks to hide the weapon on your person. If the weapon is considered light for you, then you automatically succeed, but you need to use a bonus action to take it out in combat.

Cross Stop

Weapons: Hafted weapon with reach

The weapon has a wide stopper at the top that helps stop the approach of creatures. If you successfully hit a target with the weapon, the creature is unable to use its movement to approach the wielder of the weapon. The creature can try and force its way forward by making a competing escape grapple check.

Flexible

Weapons: Any melee

The weapon is composed of a chain or rope, which allows the weapon to excel at surcubventing opponents' defensive guards. You don't roll with disadvantage if the target takes the dodge action.
Mastery. The weapon can't be used to parry with unless you have enough mastery of it.

Double-Ended

Weapons: Hafted or Long-hilted

You can use the two weapon fighting rules for a double-ended weapon and still add your ability bonus to damage. If the weapon isn't considered light for you, you need to use a bonus action to make an off-hand attack. The damage rolled from the off-hand is halved.
Mastery. You don't halve the damage dealt on the offhand attack.

Loading

Weapons: Range

Once you have launched a piece of ammunition from this type of range weapon, the Reload action has to be taken for that weapon before it can be used to attack with it again. Due to the weapon's method of launching its ammunition, the property provides a bonus within the parentheses that can be used in place of your ability modifier for attack and damage rolls.
Mastery. You succesfully reload the weapon with the action.

Repeating

Weapons: Range with Loading

Rather than having to use the Reload action after every shot, the weapon can fire as long as the magazine has ammunition in it. The size of the magazine is the value in parentheses next to the property. Once it is empty, you need to use the Reload action to slot in a new magazine. If no magazine or clip is available, you can still manually load a single piece of ammunition into it.

However, due to its complex construction, rolling a 2 on the d20 results in the weapon jamming, requiring a Reload action to unjam it.

 

Special

The following weapons are of unusual make and require additional description.

Blowgun

You can use your constitution modifier instead of dexterity.

Net

A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net. When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a net, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

Sling

You can use your strength modifier instead of dexterity. You can use any object no larger than your clenched fist as ammunition. But attacks using improvised ammunition are made at disadvantage unless you have mastery over it.  

Master Crafted Properties

A masterwork weapon is a finely crafted version of a normal weapon, where it gains a property that grants it a new function or makes it dealier. These are achieved purely through the skill of the craftsman, without the use of magical enchantments.

Elegant

The weapon counts as one size smaller in spite of its damage die.

Keen

The weapon's critical threat range is increased by 1.

Exceptional

Wielding it provides you with a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls.

Magic Focus

The weapon counts as a spell focus for one magic type. If the weapon is magically enhanced, wielding it allows you to add the weapon's magic bonus to spell attack rolls and the saving throw DCs of your spells. This bonus is only applied to spells from the magic type that the focus is meant for.

Durable

The item is hard to break. Roll with advantage on any durability check to avoid breaking or destroying the weapon. Additionally, the never gets dirty or can be easily cleaned.

Amalgamation

If the weapon is crafted using two different materials, which have special qualities, then it gains the effect of both materials rather than one.

 

Flaw Properties

Some weapons are crafted by unskilled hands or materials of poor quality, which will hamper the effectiveness of the weapon.

Faulty

The weapon's critical threat range is decreased by 1. If its base crit range is already 20, the weapon can't score critical hits.

Brittle

The item is easy to break. Roll with disadvantage on any durability check to avoid breaking or destroying the weapon.

Unbalanced

The wielder of the weapon can't use their Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. Effectively negating the Finesse property.

Unoriented

-10 feet to its normal range for throwing, or half to its normal and max range if it's a range weapon.

Materials and magic of rare quality

Weapons are usually built with material that is readily accessible to the crafter, and is primarily used in battles against other humanoids. However, when these armaments are used against inhuman creatures, problems may occur. In the best case, the weapon does less damage, worst case, the weapon may get damage or even break. Wielding weapons that are built or modified to fight such creatures is what separates the novice adventurer from the veterans.

A weapon may have one or more special properties that either grant it a unique effect, which provides a variety of bonuses to the weapon. The most common effect being that it makes the weapon effective against a specific creature type, where it can ignore the creature's damage resistances, or even deal more damage to it depending on the tier of the special property.

• Weapon material: The material used to craft the weapon has the special property naturally.
• Spell: A spell can provide the special property for the duration of the spell.
• Weapon enchantment: A skilled enough caster is able to imbue the special property in the weapon.

The special property can stack, becoming stronger for each different source that provides the same enchantment.

Effective: If a weapon has one stack of a Special property that affects a specific creature type:

• Creatures with no Resistances are considered vulnerable to the weapon damage type.
• Creatures with Resistance are ignored for the weapon's damage type.
• Creatures with Immunity are treated as Resistances for the weapon damage type.

Highly Effective: If a weapon has two stacks of a Special property that affects a specific creature type:

• Creatures with and without Resistance to the weapon damage type are treated as vulnerable.
• Creatures with Immunity to the weapon's damage type are ignored.

Supper Effective: If a weapon has three stacks of a Special property that affects a specific creature type:

• The creature is vulnerable to the weapon's damage, regardless if they have resistance or immunity towards the weapon's damage type.

 

Magic of the the weapon

Rather than simply have a singular "magical" enchantment for weapons that turns them into magic weapons, capable of ignoring the resistances of all creatures, there are several different types, each having its own effects on creatures. A weapon is capable of having multiple magical enchantments, but the effort and expenditure to permanently imbue the enchantment is costly.

 

Spells Affected

When a player casts a spell or uses a feature that would make a weapon magical, they are able to choose an enchantment thematic to the feature and apply it to the weapon. Doing so will make the weapon effective against the designated creature type. Certain spells have their own restrictions.

Shillelagh

A primordial canatrip. Effective against aberrations, constructs and monstrosity.

Magic Weapon

A Divine and Arcane 2nd level spell. Depending on which class you started the campaign with, you are able to apply one of the following.

• Divine casters can bestow the Divine, Axiomatic or Pure quality to a weapon.
• Arcane casters can apply the Anarchic, Axiomatic or Adamant quality to a weapon.

With a bit of training and study, you are able to apply one material quality from the list below to the weapon.

Elemental Weapon

A Primordial 3rd level spell. In addition to the damage, you chose which Elemental type between Water, Earth, Fire or Air that the damage of the weapon would be effective against.

Holy Weapon

A Divine 5th level spell. In addition to the radiant damage, the weapon gains the Axiomatic and Divine Qualities.  

Any weapon that is considered a +1,+2 or a +3 magick weapon, is magically enchanted to improve the weapon where smithing can't provide. However, its magic is neutral in its arcane focus, which causes it to not conflict or affect the energies and magic that flow in creatures. A weapon with Base Enchantment can still carry an additional Enchantment, but adding it will be difficult.

 

Magical Qualities

Each and every creature has its own unique physiology, each with strengths and vulnerabilities. If one is able to wield these energies against them, they would be made short work in battle. Through this, it is believed that some materials in the world that have been infused with energies that are the anathemo towards different creatures, making them harmful towards different creatures. Amongst many of these examples are lycanthropes' adversion towards silver, or constructs against adamantite.

Scollars from all fields of magic and worldly knowledge have strived to categorize these unique qualities. With the intention of producing items and magic that would help ward or slay creatures that would be too mighty for ordinary mortals to handle. Weaponry crafted from material that possesses special qualities gain benefits that can affect its use in combat.

This list of qualities explains what effect it will have on the weapon if applied through either magic or forging:

Pure

Materials with this property burn the forms of creatures that have been twisted by darkness. Purity is the antithesis to creatures whose nature has been diluted by dark magic, inflicted by a curse or their very own soul that has completely succumbed to darkness. Such as lycanthropes, Devils (Lawful Fiends), wraiths (Cursed Undead) and any creature that originates from the shadow fell.

Anti-Magic

It is able to mitigate magic, or even nullify it entirely if sufficient quantity is available. Effective against any creature that is animated or fueled by magic.

Oils and other items

One weapon may have multiple of these properties. The spell "Magic Weapon" allows you to choose one of these properties and add it to the weapon for the duration of the spell. If a smith or a magically inclined individual isn't around, the application of oil will imbue the weapon with the necessary property to slay the creature, for a limited time of 1 hour.
