One-handed weapons allow the creature to equip a [[shield]] in their off-hand, but one-handed weapons can also be ''dual wielded'' if both weapons have the [[Light (weapon property)|light]] property.{{note|The Dual Wielder [[feat]] removes this limitation and also allows dual-wielding of versatile weapons, which are never light.}}

Martial weapons require extensive training to effectively use in combat.  Martial [[Class]]es such as Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger have [[Proficiency]] with ''all'' martial weapons at Level 1.  Otherwise, one can obtain martial proficiency by taking the appropriate [[Feat]] at Level 4.  A creature's [[Race]] and Class may also grant it proficiency with specific types of martial weapons; see [[#Proficiencies granted by Race and Class|Proficiencies granted by Race and Class]] below.

Simple weapons are easy to learn and use.  Every [[Class]] except Druid, Wizard, and Sorcerer is proficient with ''all'' simple weapons at Level 1.  Otherwise, one can obtain simple weapon proficiency by taking the appropriate [[Feat]] at Level 4.  A creature's [[Race]] and Class may also grant it proficiency with specific types of simple weapons; see [[#Proficiencies granted by Race and Class|Proficiencies granted by Race and Class]] below.

Objects that aren't actually weapons can nevertheless be used as Improvised Weapons. Note that this is not the same as using a non-weapon item that resembles a weapon strongly enough to allow it to be used as such.  For example, when [[Salami]] is used as a weapon, it actually functions as a [[Clubs|Club]], not as an Improvised Weapon.

The following table summarizes all weapon types in the game and provides a quick overview of their properties. The ranges listed for ranged weapons is their normal range; they also have an extended range which is double that, but confers [[disadvantage]] to the attacker.
