The following table summarizes all weapon types in the game and provides a quick overview of their properties. The columns '''1H-dmg''' and '''2H-dmg''' list the dice rolled for one-handed and two-handed damage, as well as the '''average damage''' this will provide. | |||
If the ''Range'' column is empty, it indicates a standard melee range of '''1.5 m / 5 ft''', while ''Reach'' stands for the extended melee range of '''2.5 m / 8 ft''' and ''Thrown'' indicates that the weapon can be thrown up to a maximum of '''18 m / 60 ft'''. The ranges listed for ranged weapons is their '''normal range'''; they also have an '''extended range''' which is double, but confers {{Disadvantage}} on the [[Attack Roll]]. | |||
