{{hatnote|Main article: [[Weapons]]}}Weapons serve the purpose of dealing damage to various things, ranging from doors and crates to monsters and NPCs.  Your weapon of choice determines your base [[Damage Roll]] before bonuses.  For example, a dagger may do 1d4 damage (one four-sided dice), meaning 1 to 4 points of damage before bonuses are applied.  On the other hand, a two-handed greatsword may do 2d6 damage (two six-sided dice), for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 before bonuses.


'''Weapons''' serve the purpose of dealing damage to various things, ranging from doors and crates to monsters and NPCs.
There are a number of ways to categorize weapons:


=== Martial Weapons ===
* Melee or Ranged
* Martial or Simple
* One-handed, Two-handed, or Versatile


[[Martial Weapons]] are weapons that require extensive training to effectively use in combat. Only martial classes such as [[Barbarian]], [[Fighter]], [[Paladin]], [[Ranger]], have proficiency with ''all'' martial weapons at level 1. You can obtain martial proficiency by taking the appropriate [[Character Abilities#Feats|feat]] at level 4.
Each weapon deals a specific type of physical damage.  The damage types are:

In addition, weapons can have various properties such as Heavy, Finesse, Light, and so on.  See the main Weapons page linked above for details.


[[Simple Weapons]] are easy to learn and use. Almost any commoner can wield simple weapons in combat. All classes except [[Druid]], [[Wizard]], and [[Sorcerer]] are proficient with ''all'' types of simple weapons at level 1. You can obtain simple weapon proficiency by taking the appropriate [[Character Abilities#Feats|feat]] at level 4.

One can gain additional Armour Proficiency by taking appropriate Feats at Level 4, such as [[Lightly Armoured]], [[Moderately Armoured]] and [[Heavily Armoured]].  However, each level of heaviness has the previous level as a prerequisite.  For example, in order to be able to pick the Heavily Armoured Feat, your character must already have Medium Armour Proficiency from some source.

Weapons[edit | edit source]

Main article: Weapons
Weapons serve the purpose of dealing damage to various things, ranging from doors and crates to monsters and NPCs. Your weapon of choice determines your base Damage Roll before bonuses. For example, a dagger may do 1d4 damage (one four-sided dice), meaning 1 to 4 points of damage before bonuses are applied. On the other hand, a two-handed greatsword may do 2d6 damage (two six-sided dice), for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 before bonuses.

There are a number of ways to categorize weapons:

  • Melee or Ranged
  • Martial or Simple
  • One-handed, Two-handed, or Versatile

Each weapon deals a specific type of physical damage. The damage types are:
