'''Weapons''' are a type of [[equipment]] that is used in [[Attack rolls|attacks]] that deal damage. Weapons also give [[proficiency|proficient]] wielders access to special [[Weapon Actions|weapon actions]], and are an essential tool for any adventurer. | |||
''' | == Overview == | ||
Each weapon is either ''melee'' or ''ranged'', and deals a specific type of physical damage: {{DamageType|Bludgeoning}}, {{DamageType|Piercing}}, or {{DamageType|Slashing}}. | |||
'' | Weapons are further categorised as either ''martial'' or ''simple''. Martial weapons deal more damage than simple weapons, but more specialised training to properly use. | ||
'' | Additionally, each weapons has a set of ''properties'' which determine how the weapon may be used. | ||
=== Weapon slots === | |||
Each character has a ''main hand'' slot and an ''off-hand'' slot, both of which can equip weapons. | |||
Weapons are classified as either ''one-handed'', ''two-handed'' or ''versatile''. One-handed weapons only take up one weapon slot, whereas two-handed take up both. Versatile weapons can be wielded as either one-handed or two-handed weapons, the latter of which deals greater damage. | |||
One-handed weapons allow the creature to equip a [[Shields|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.}} | |||
=== Proficiency === | |||
Classes give proficiency with weapons or category of weapons, allowing the creature to add its proficiency bonus to its attack rolls. | |||
Proficiency in the equipped main hand weapon unlocks its weapon actions. Off-hand weapons do not grant weapon actions. | |||

== Martial | == Martial weapons == | ||
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. | Martial weapons require extensive training to effectively use in combat.

Simple weapons are easy to learn and use. Every [[Class]] except Druid, Wizard, and Sorcerer is proficient with ''all'' simple weapons at Level 1.

Objects that aren't actually weapons can nevertheless be used as Improvised Weapons. | 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. | ||
