Weapons

Proficiency

There are Three categories of Weapon Proficiency
S - Simple
M - Martial
E - Exotic

Exotic

Exotic is a new category of weapon proficiency which holds a number of unique weapon types. Exotic weapons typically have slightly higher power level/versatility than other weapons, but in a more specific niche, and at the cost of higher prerequisites and unique downsides, where appropriate. Exotic weapons are not intended to be objectively better choices overall than martial or simple weapons, Instead they reward players for using a unique combat method as apposed to the normal Weapon experience.
Exotic Proficiencies are gained through races/ origins, or through classes such as fighters and ranger that can switch out a skill proficiency for one exotic weapon proficiency, or even the pact boon of the blade.

Prerequisites

Certain weapons have ability score prerequisites which a creature wielding the weapon must meet or exceed to wield the weapon normally. Otherwise:
- all attacks with the weapon have disadvantage
- the weapon deals half as much damage on a hit

Size

A weapon's size is relevant for effects such as parrying or disarming (when specifically noted)

Creatures may wield a weapon of their size with one hand, and a weapon no more than two sizes greater in two hands. (Great sized weapons count as a middle between large : 1 and Huge : 2, sitting at 1.5) Any weapon 2 or more size categories larger than the wielder is considered "titanic"
S - Small
M- Medium
L - Large
G - Great
H - Huge
U - Unique
Unique
Weapons with a unique size/shape include whips, nets, and certain bows. These weapons can not be parried.

Damage

There are a few very minor changes to how damage is listed and applied.
Abbreviations
B - bludgeoning
P - piercing
S - slashing
Multiple Damage Types(ex 1d4 P/S):
When one damage roll lists two different damage types, separated by a slash "/", the attacker can choose which damage type to use (doing so before or after rolling the attack, but before rolling damage)
Versatile Damage:
Damage for a versatile weapon when used with two hands is listed in (parentheses)
Dual-Ended Damage:
Damage for the Dual-Ended property of a weapon is contained in square brackets

Properties:

-2H. Shorthand for two-handed , weapons wielded in two hands add 1.5 your Str mod to damage
-Ammunition: You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Drawing ammunition from a case or cocking a sidearm are all part of the attack (requiring a free hand for a one-handed weapon). If you use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a melee attack, you treat the weapon as an improvised weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in this section).
-Bolster. As a bonus action, you can bolster the weapon, winding up a strike or bracing it. Your next attack with the weapon before your next turn starts deals an additional die of damage (of the weapon's largest type) if it hits.
-Breach. Attacks with this weapon ignore the DR armor property.
-Brutal. On a critical hit or a hit that exceeds the target's AC by 5 or more, deal an additional die of this weapon's damage.
-Bypass. Attacks with this weapon ignore any AC bonus from Light and Medium shields and the Parry property
-Cleave. On a critical hit or a hit that exceeds the target's AC by 5 or more, you may choose another creature that is both within 5 feet of the target and within reach of your weapon. If the initial attack roll would also hit that creature, deal damage to them equal to another roll of the weapons damage dice.
-Concealed. The weapon is not initially obvious and may easily be hidden or disguised. When you attack with this weapon immediately after revealing it while it was concealed, you have advantage.
-Disarming. You have advantage on disarm attempts made with this weapon.
-Deft (X). If your Dexterity score meets or exceeds X, you wield with this weapon with a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
-Dual-Ended. When you take the attack action and attack with a Dual Ended weapon using 2 hands, you can use your bonus action to make an extra attack, dealing the second damage value on a hit. You don't add your ability modifier to this attack roll, unless it's negative. Wielding a Dual-Ended Weapon counts as two weapon fighting for all associated rules.
-Finesse. When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls. If you meet the minimum str requirement with your dex score, but not your str score, you may only use dex to make attacks and vice versa.
-Fixed. A weapon with the fixed property is affixed to armor or similar equipment, and does not fill the hand, but you can’t use the weapon while the hand is full. You can't be disarmed of the weapon unless the armor it is affixed to is destroyed.
-Flurry. A flurry weapon gains its benefit when used to make offhand attacks. Allowing you to make the same amount of attacks as you did with your attack action as a bonus action, instead of just one.
-Grappling. When you make an attack with a grappling weapon, you may choose to deal no damage and instead attempt to grapple or shove the target using your attack roll in place of Strength (Athletics)
-Half-Finesse. You can use Dexterity for attack rolls with this weapon, though you still use Strength for damage rolls.
-Heavy. Any STR requirement for this weapon is increased by 2 for every size category smaller than the weapon you are beyond the first. Eg. Med char, L weapon, no penalty. Small char, L weapon +2 min str.
-Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons.
-Loading. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
-Parry. If a creature hits you with a melee weapon attack while you are wielding a weapon/using a shield with the parry property that you are proficient with, you can use your reaction to add half your proficiency bonus (round down) to your AC for that attack, potentially causing it to miss. If you do so while wielding two parrying weapons, you add your entire proficiency bonus instead.
You can parry a weapon no more than one size category larger than your parrying weapon(s). While wielding two parrying weapons, use the size of the largest one.
-Reach. This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it.
-Shoving. You have advantage on shove attacks made with this weapon.
-Sundering. Attacks with this weapon ignore any damage reduction provided by armor. If such an attack is a critical hit or exceeds the target's AC by 5 or more, the armor's damage reduction property is reduced to 0 for 1 minute.
-Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a throwing knife, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the knife has the finesse property.
-Versatile. Attacks with this weapon deal the damage in parenthesis when wielded in both hands, doing so also applies the 1.5 Str mod to damage like a 2H weapon

Bladed Fans:
When you wield two bladed fans with Two Weapon Fighting, each fan gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls. When you "reveal" a bladed fan with an attack, gaining the benefit of the concealed trait, you may immediately make a sleight of hand check against the defenders wisdom (perception) on success the weapons are still considered "concealed"
A bladed fan is partially destroyed if parried successfully by another weapon or shield, rendering it disabled until repaired over the course of a short rest.

Rope Dart: The rope dart can be wielded in two ways:
One handed - A simple Thrown weapon that is "retrieved" as a bonus action by pulling the attached rope.
Two Handed(Dual Ended Property) - When the meteor hammer is used in two hands, its true potential is realized. It uses two unique "threat zones" a 10ft wide loop which can be extended or retracted to be up to 25/30 ft around the player, or as short as 5/10 ft around the player and the area "within" the inner range of the loop, known as the "eye of the storm". Initiating this "Swinging" state takes a bonus action, and in order to maintain this state the player cannot occupy or move into an area which would impede any portion of the Ropes radius. The outer radius of the loop can be adjusted as a bonus action.
The Weapon has 2 attacks;
Arrow Head( the main attack made with the attack action)
-dealing 1d8 P
-has the Cleave property
-Uses the Loop Threat range
Counterweight (The bonus action attack through Dual-Ended)
-Dealing 1d12 B
-Has the Disarming Property
-Uses the Eye of the storm threat range

Falchion
The falchion has two ways to be wielded represented by its versatile trait
-One Handed(1d10): When wielded in one hand, the falchion has the Sundering, and Heavy Properties.
-Two handed(1d6): When wielded in two hands, the falchion loses its Sundering and Heavy Properties and instead gains the Parry trait. It is also treated as a Large Weapon for the purposes of parrying. If your parry reaction prevents the attack from hitting, deal 1d6 weapon damage to them as a part of the reaction.

Lucerne
The spiked hammer deals an additional damage die when attacking objects made of stone or metal. If you succeed on a disarm attempt against a non-magical weapon with this weapon and the roll exceeds the challengers by 5 or greater, you may choose to break the weapon, rendering it useless until repaired.

Tribal Blade
The tribal blade has a 5 "shards" of obsidian that represent its blade. The threshold needed to exceed a target's AC to activate the Brutal property is (6 - number of remaining shards), each time you deal the extra damage granted by the property, one shard "breaks off" in the creatures wound and is removed from the blade. Once the weapon has no remaining shards, its damage type becomes bludgeoning, and it loses the brutal property until at least one shard is reattached. Shards can be reattached over the course of a short rest by making a Wisdom (Survival) or (Woodworker's tools) Check, you reattach a shard for every 2 you exceed 10 on said check (16 = 3 shards, 12 = 1 shard, ect.)
