These classes are broad descriptors of how different types of weapons behave in the game. A player may choose any weapon, or even invent a whole new kind of weapon, and, together with the GR, determine what class it falls into. \begin{multicols}{2} \subsection*{Simple Weapons} Simple weapons are weapons that do not require training to use. This is the only class of weapons that can be used without a proficiency, however, in that case the proficiency bonus does not apply. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{STR} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{4} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{1}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & \raggedright Dagger, Club, Knife, Shortsword \end{tabular} \subsection*{Bladed Weapons} Bladed weapons that require training deal more damage, but require proficiency. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{STR} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{6} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{1}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & Longsword, Katana \end{tabular} \subsection*{Blunt Weapons} Blunt weapons depend on their weight and the strength of the wielder to deal damage. However, they make the user less dexterous, due to their unwieldiness. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{STR} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{6} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage stat}} & \stat{STR} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Stat adjust}} & \stat{dex} -1 \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{1}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & Mace, Flail, Warhammer \end{tabular} \subsection*{Pole Weapons} Pole weapons can reach farther than other weapons. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{dex} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{4} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage stat}} & \stat{dex} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{2}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & Spear, Halberd, Glaive, Quarterstaff \end{tabular} \subsection*{Thrown Weapons} Thrown weapons can be used at short ranges to do damage at a distance. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{dex} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{4} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage stat}} & \stat{STR} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{20}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & Throwing knife, Javelin \end{tabular} \subsection*{Ranged Weapons} Ranged weapons fire projectile at a target to deal damage. \begin{tabular}[h!]{rp{4.3cm}} \textsf{\textbf{Proficiency stat}} & \stat{dex} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Damage die}} & \dc{4} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Range}} & \SI{100}{\meter} \\ \textsf{\textbf{Examples}} & Bow, Crossbow, Sling \end{tabular} \end{multicols}
