List of weapons

Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy. Detailed herein are all of the bigger sticks.

Action Points

This details the number of Action Points necessary to use the weapon.

Parry

The bonus the weapon grants the character on a Parry Roll when the weapon is used to parry an attack.

Harm

The amount of damage the weapon does on its own, which is factored into the Attack Roll.

Type

The type of Harm the weapon inflicts. Either S for slashing, B for bludgeoning, or P for piercing. Certain spells, items, and armor protect better against certain types of Harm. If a weapon lists two types of Harm, they are in order of usual usage. A character must state which type of Harm he intends to perform during an attack (for instance, slash or thrust with his longsword); if not the first is assumed.

Notes

Any relevant notes about the weapon.

Weapons marked with a dagger (†) are fast weapons. These weapons are small or light and easy to conceal and grant a character a +2 bonus on Thievery/Disguise checks to conceal them.

Weapons marked with a double-dagger (‡) are two-handed weapons. They must be held with both hands. Two handed weapons give a character a −4 penalty to Thievery/Disguise checks to conceal them, but a +2 bonus against being Disarmed.
