Damage Types

Weapons have a damage type or combination of damage types that they apply. These are:

  • blunt: damage dealt with forceful impacts, ideal for crushing armor and bone
  • cleave: powerful, sweeping strikes
  • pierce: precise, pointed attacks, including bows
  • slash: quick cuts relying on sharp edges movements
  • magical: damage from arcane, elemental, or mystical energies

Extra Weapon Properties

In addition to the type of damage a weapon can do, armaments are also distinguished in their size (small, medium, large, and huge) and other properties. These can include:

  • Polearm: Weapons with long handles and designed for reach or leverage
  • Missile: Projectiles or weapons designed for long-range attacks; typically bows, slingshots, or similar launching devices
  • Martial: Denotes weapons that require specialized training to use effectively, often associated with skilled combatants and warriors
  • Finesse: Weapons that rely more on precision and agility rather than brute force, allowing the user to leverage some of their dexterity for attacks
  • Focus: Used to channel magical energies and essential for spellcasters to enhance their spells
