Template:Weapon page

This template generates entire pages for individual weapons in the game, such as Longsword (not to be confused with Longswords) or Worgfang. Note that the template adds the page to the correct categories automatically.

Following is an example of usage with all possible template parameters shown. This describes a made up Longsword which for some reason deals an extra 1d4 Fire damage and is Heavy (longswords normally aren't). If you're ever unsure what to type, simply leave the parameter empty.
