List of ranged weapons

This lists all ranged weapons which deal damage to various things from afar.

Overview

Each ranged weapon deals a specific type of physical damage: ⁠Piercing.

Weapons are further categorised as either Martial or Simple. Martial weapons deal more damage than simple weapons, but require more specialised training to properly use.

Additionally, each weapon 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 wielder to equip a shield in their off-hand, but one-handed weapons can also be dual wielded if both weapons have the light property.

Proficiency

Classes and Races give proficiency with weapons or category of weapons, allowing the wielder to add their proficiency bonus to their attack rolls.

Proficiency in the equipped main hand weapon unlocks its weapon actions. Off-hand weapons do not grant weapon actions.
