Objects that aren't actually weapons can nevertheless be used as [[Improvised_Melee_Weapon|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.

== Weapons with Global Passives ==
== Lists of weapon archetypes ==
The following is a list of unique weapons which effects their wielder, even when that weapon isn't being used to attack. These are often colloquially referred to as "stat sticks." Many of these benefits include increases to skills, ability scores or other character attributes. Though some provide various bonuses to attack or damage rolls for all held weapons, or even to spell attacks. Any effects which require an action or bonus action to activate are not included.
The following are pages where lists of weapons can be found to achieve specific goals, such as maximizing a character's Spell DC or attack bonuses.
