Weapon One Stop Shop

Weapons Article

To coincide with the armour changes in Armor One Stop Shop we've adjusted some of the weapons in the game and expanded the arsenal to increase usable weapons. This includes effects built into base weapons that weren't already in the 5e DnD default descriptions of weapons, including armour penetration to bypass some of the damage reduction enemies have.

Advanced weapons & Advanced weapons proficiency

Skill Slot Homebrew Newly added tier of profiencency above martial weapons. These weapons have a requirement to use it to its full potential beyond the proficiency.
Because fighters are weapons masters they now start with the proficiency for advanced weapons.
The first and easiest way to gain the proficiency is the talent for weapon training as a martial class.

The Addition of Damage types from weapon Quaking, Puncturing and Rendering

These 3 properties are in most Advanced weapons and some martial and simple weapons. When attacking with one of these weapons the damage type is changed from Bludgeoning --> Quaking Piercing --> Puncturing Slicing --> Rendering (This is for the DM to implement the change)
All of these properties will reduce the Armour Reduction (AR) of an enemy by 1. [See armour changes thread for more information on AR] EG: a creature with an AR of 6 will have a damage reduction of 5 if it's hit between EV and AC, when it's attacked with a weapon that has any of these 3 properties.
For +1, +2 and +3 weapons the reduction to AR increases by the number shown. EG: A +2 weapon will reduce the AR by 3
This is continued to be explained in the article below: Weapon Changes - Quality Properties

Weapon Changes - Quality

Weapons are now able to be purchased, found or given away at different states of repair.

In the changes outlined, you can have properties on any weapon type from the tier list below.

Tier	Name	Description	Cost
4	Pristine	This weapon can be used to reduce the effects of three critical hits to normal hits before downgrading its quality to reliable. Damage rolls with this weapon are made with Advantage. Roll an additional die, and take the highest one rolled.	x4 the cost of the original weapon
3	Worn	This weapon can be used to reduce the effects of two critical hits to normal hits before downgrading its quality to faulty.	x2 the cost of the original weapon
2	Well Worn	The weapons you might already have. The weapon you have can be sacrificed to block a Critical Hit (You cannot block a bullet's Critical Range property's effect critical hits over 20 combined dice and bonus). The block of a critical is a reaction that does not cost your reaction.	the cost of the original weapon
1	Scarred	When you make an attack with this weapon and roll a 1 on the d20, you take damage equal to the Ability Score modifier used for this weapon. Damage rolls with this weapon are made with an additional die, and you take the lowest rolled.	1/4 the cost of the original weapon
0	Broken	Attack rolls with this weapon are made with disadvantage.	These weapons are usually given away for free.

Properties Explained

Properties for the following for Simple, Martial and Advanced + Armour busting increases bonus when using a +1, +2 or +3 weapons. To 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

Property	Original	Description
Rending	Slashing	AB = Armour Busting, reduce the effect of enemies Armour Rating by 1 when hitting with this weapon type.
Puncturing	Peircing	AB = Armour Busting, bypass enemies Armour Rating by 1 when hitting with this weapon type.
Quaking	Bludgeoning	AB = Armour Busting, bypass enemies Armour Rating by 1 when hitting with this weapon type.
Concealable		A light weapon is small and easy to handle. You can use either your Strength or Dexterity modifier for both the attack and damage rolls. The Finesse property has been combined with the Light property. Anything that would require Finesse (like the Rogue Sneak Attack feature) and any weapon that uses Dexterity for its attack and damage rolls works with this property
Light		Small and easily hidden, you have ADV on checks made to hide a concealable weapon on your person. When you make an attack against a creature using a hidden weapon that has the Concealable property, you have ADV on the attack against that creature.
Ensnaring		When you want to catch and restrain a weapon in combat, you can use the attack action to make a special melee attack, an entrapment attempt with this weapon. If you have multiple attacks as part of the Attack action, this replaces one of them. The target of your entrapment must be within reach of your weapon and wielding a melee or ranged weapon. Make a Dex (Sleight of hand) check contested by the Strength (athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) (it's choice). A creature wielding a weapon in two hands has advantage on this check, and creature larger than you automatically wins. If you win, the target can't make attacks with the entrapped weapon until the entrapment ends. They can't move out of your weapon's range, make an attack with the entrapping weapon, or the drop their own weapon without releasing the entrapped weapon, you can do it at any time. If any time the target is no longer within your weapon's reach, the entrapment ends.
Critical Range		The critical range of Black-Powder weapon attacks with 17-18 on the natural dice (not including modifiers) are a critical attack. Downside is that your critical fail on a one (1) or a two (2) on the dice and your additional damage dice isn't doubled with the critical damage.
Chained		When you attack with this weapon as a thrown ranged weapon, if you miss the weapon is returned to your hand as part of your attack action.
Mighty		Weapons with the mighty category require 15 Strength to wield effectively. You can wield it without that requirement but cannot add your proficiency modifier.
Elegant		Weapons with the Elegant category require 15 Dexterity to wield effectively. You can wield it without that requirement but cannot add your proficiency modifier.
Unwieldy		Weapons with the Unwieldy category requires 20 Strength to wield effectively. You cannot wield it properly without the strength requirement, it has to be dragged across the ground, reducing your movement speed to half and requires a DC20 Strength Athletics check each turn if you want to attack with it.
Chained		When you attack with this weapon as a thrown ranged weapon, if you miss the weapon is returned to your hand as part of your attack action.
Chained		When you attack with this weapon as a thrown ranged weapon, if you miss the weapon is returned to your hand as part of your attack action.

If any time the target is no longer within your weapon's reach, the entrapment ends.
Critical Range: The critical range of Black-Powder weapon attacks with 17-18 on the natural dice (not including modifiers) are a critical attack. Downside is that your critical fail on a one (1) or a two (2) on the dice and your additional damage dice isn't doubled with the critical damage.

Reinforced Weapons that are built to take a hit also are very finely crafted. Roll additional ADV for the dice of damage on hit, take the highest score. I.E 2d4 = 2,3 & 3,4. You then take the 3,4 rolls with Reinforced weapons.

Faulty Weapons that are dinged, chipped or otherwise not intending to be blunt, but not sharpened. Roll additional disADV for the dice of damage on hit, take the lower score. I.E 2d4 = 2,3 & 3,4. You then take the 2,3 rolls with Faulty weapons.

Ruined Weapons that are Ruined, although can be saved are barely useable. Weapons that are Ruined have disADV to Attack rolls with this weapon. Additionally all the effects of Faulty (Roll additional disADV for the dice of damage on hit, take the lower score. I.E 2d4 = 2,3 & 3,4. You then take the 2,3 rolls with Faulty weapons.)

Any additional weapon properties you should check the side bar on the following articles. This information is outlined in

Unarmed Strikes

The scaling for AR when unarmed strikes is slightly out of whack. So as with the announcement in the changes to westmarch.
Unarmed strikes or Natural Weapons that are Magical attacks automatically penetrates AR up to your Prof. Modifier. (considered magical for bypassing resistance) Example: (Monk's Unarmed strikes, Minotaur's 'Unarmed' Horns, Druid's Wild Shape attacks, etc)
Examples: *If you are unarmed or natural fighting a +1 leather armour enemy you can now bypass their armour rating not just reduce it. The same goes for a level 9 druid in wildshape, they can bypass a user in Scalemail armours 4AR.*



FAQ:
Q: "I have a magic weapon or an unbreakable weapon, what happens if I take reactions to reduce the critical damage to normal? Does it degrade still?" A: *Magic equipment can still become faulty (tier 3) but it will not reach Ruined (tier 4) without a DM saying an effect or something similar (acid or dipped in lava) damages it enough*
