Combat Skills and Equipment

For (mostly) non-combat skills and point levels, go here

Some weapons will be listed in multiple skill categories below. In these cases, you must decide which skill you are using the weapon with. When you decide, you use the stats from the weapon in the chosen skills list.

Melee Weapons

DX Easy (1 point = DX+0)

• Knife (DX/Easy)
  
  Default: DX-4, Main-Gauche-4, or Shortsword-3
  Knives are not great as primary weapons in combat. They are weak, have a low max damage (link to ST limits of weapons), and have low reach. They are, however, fantastic as secondary weapons, great in close-quarters combat, and striking at vitals.


[1] Can be Thrown
[2] When weapon is Ready, gain 4 DR for your hand
[3] You can [4] Reduce penalty for Targeting Chinks in Armor by -2
[5] eh, all of these are wrong it seems. just come back to it




DX Average (1 point = DX-1)

• Axe/Mace (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Flail-4, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace-3
  This skill covers Axes and Maces when using one hand. These weapons usually deal Crushing and Cutting damage. These weapons are cheap and versitle, but most Unready after an attack.


[1] Can be Thrown
[2] Can Hook
[3] May get Stuck
[4] Reduce penalty for Targeting Chinks in Armor by -2




• Broadsword (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Rapier-4, Shortsword-2, or Two-Handed Sword-4
  Broadswords are usually a sign of wealth. All broadswords have two different attacks that you can use. They regularly deal Cutting and Crushing or Impaling damage while wielding it in only one hand. They are fast and fairly light for their effectiveness.


[1] Reduce penalty for Targeting Chinks in Armor by -2
[2] When weapon is ready, the hand it's in gains 4 DR which stacks with other hand DR
[3] Can Hook
[4] Can strike to Disarm without -2 to hit for non-fenching weapon




• Jitte/Sai (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Main-Gauche-4, or Shortsword-3
  This skill category is a conglomeration of very similar weapons named under just one of the weapons (Jitte and Sai are the same thing. Feel free to rename the Sai to Jitte if you want). All of these weapons gain +2 to using the Disarm technique.


[1] Can be Thrown
[2] Can strike to disarm without the usual -2 to hit for using a non-fencing weapon



• Lance (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, or Spear-3
  Lances are usually a cavalry weapon to be used from horse's (or some other kind of mount's) back. When using on foot, use your ST to find damage. When using it mounted, use your mount's ST instead.






• Main-Gouche (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Jitte/Sai-4, Knife-4, or Rapier-3
  Main-Gauche are knives wielded like fencing weapons. They are more difficult to use this way, but they are a fantastic off-hand defensive weapons. This skill allows you to ignore off-hand penalties when defending.


[1] When weapon is ready, the hand it's in gains 4 DR which stacks with other hand DR
[2] Can strike to disarm without the usual -2 to hit for using a non-fencing weapon
[3] Can be Thrown
[4] Reduce penalty for Targeting Chinks in Armor by -2



• Polearm (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Spear-4, Staff-4, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace-4
  Polearms are extremely versatile weapons. They are heavy and deal very high amounts of damage, but almost every attack becomes unready afterwards.


[1] Can Hook (figure out where to link this)
[2] Can strike to Disarm without -2 to hit for using a non-fencing weapon
[3] May get Stuck




• Rapier (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Broadsword-4, or Main-Gauche-3
  Rapiers are fencing weapons that are designed mostly for thrusting and parrying.






• Shield (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-4
  Shields can be used as melee weapons as well as defensive measures. The list below are different ways you can use a shield this way. If you want a list of prices and stats, go here.






• Shortsword (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Broadsword-2, Jitte/Sai-3, or Knife-4
  Shortswords are for those that can't afford or don't want to carry around a broadsword, but want a little more protection than a knife can provide.


[1] When weapon is ready, the hand it's in gains 4 DR which stacks with other hand DR
[2] Reduce penalty for Targeting Chinks in Armor by -2
[3] You may Parry using Brawling or Karate skill



• Spear (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Polearm-4, or Staff-2
  Spears have some of the longest range in the game. While all spears do impaling damage, some can slash with the tip of the spear to do cutting damage if that is preferable. A common tactic with longer spears is to take a Wait maneuver and attack the first people to come into range while remaining out of range yourself.


[1] Can be Thrown
[2] -2 to hit with this weapon
[3] Can strike to disarm without the usual -2 to hit for using a non-fencing weapon
[4] Target is at -1 to Dodge, but at +1 to Block or Parry



• Staff (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Polearm-4, or Spear-2
  Staves don't do a lot of damage, but they are extremely flexible. They can strike at multiple reaches without requiring a Ready maneuver, and a majority of them do not unready after using them. They are also fantastic defensive options as all of them give a +2 to Parry.


[1] For any Polearm or Spear with a Max Reach of 2
[2] You can attack two adjacent enemies as a Dual Weapon Attack
[3] -1 to hit with this weapon
[4] If you have this weapon ready, you gain 4 DR to your hands (cumulative with other DR)
[5] Allows you to use the Hook technique



• Two-Handed Axe/Mace (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Axe/Mace-4, Polearm-4, or Two-Handed Flail-4
  Two-Handed Axes and Maces are for people who want to swing hard and forget the consequences. These weapons have the highest damage potential but are heavy and unwieldy.


[1] Can be used with 1 hand. Use stats in Axe/Mace
[2] Can be Thrown
[3] May get stuck
[4] Allows you to use the Hook techinque
[5] Reduce Penalty to target Chinks in Armor by -2



• Two-Handed Sword (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5, Flail-4, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace
  Two-Handed Swords are heavy hitting cutting implements. Most of these weapons can be used with different skills allowing someone skilled with two-handed swords to be able to reliably find something to use even if it isn't initially used in that way.


[1] Can be used as a Broadsword. Use the stats from there if you do
[2] Can be used as a Staff. Use the stats there if you do
[3] You can attack two adjacent enemies as a Dual Weapon Attack
[3] -1 to skill
[4] Can be used as a Polearm. Use the stats there if you do
[5] Can be used as a Two-Handed Axe/Mace. Use the stats there if you do



• Whip (DX/Average)
  
  Default: DX-5 or Kusari-3
  Whips are for control more than damage, but they aren't something you can ignore damage-wise. Whips have multiple Techniques that they can do (the urumi cannot unfortunately).


[1] Specify maximum reach (1-7 yards) when bought. Cost and weight are per yard
[2] requires ST 5/yard of max Reach
[3] requires ST 3/yard of max Reach
[4] Can only lash for damage. Cannot use any special whip rules




DX Hard (1 point = DX-2)

• Flail (DX/Hard)
  
  Default: DX-6, Axe/Mace-4, or Two-Handed Flail-3
  Flails are difficult to use and unready after every attack, but they are cheap and very difficult to defend against. All attempts to parry flails are at -2 and fencing weapons ("F" parry) can't parry them at all. Attempts to block these attacks are at -1 as well.


[1] Can be Thrown. Uses the Bolas skill
[2] Double the penalty to defend against this weapon (-4 to parry, -2 to block)
[3] Can be used as a Blackjack (below)



• Kusari (DX/Hard)
  
  Default: DX-6, Two-Handed Flail-4, or Whip-3
  Kusari are difficult weapons to use, but are very versitle. They are able to do everything a whip (link to whips here?) does as well as deal reasonable amounts of damage. All attempts to defend against kusari are the same as defending against a morningstar. Parrys are at -4 and fencing weapons ("F" parry) can't parry them at all. Attempts to block these attacks are at -2 as well.


[1] People Entangled are at a -2 to escape
[2] determine Weight, Cost, Damage, and Max Reach at purchase
[3] only lash target for damage




• Two-Handed Flail (DX/Hard)
  
  Default: DX-6, Kusari-4, or Two-Handed Axe/Mace-4
  Two-Handed Flails are difficult to use, but are also difficult to defend against. Parries with fencing weapons are impossible against these weapons, and other weapons parry at -4. Attempts to block are at a -2 as well.


[1] -1 to hit with this weapon
[2] You can attack two adjacent enemies as a Dual Weapon Attack

Unique Combat

These combat styles are not something you can just pick up and start poking enemies with. All skills here are actually pretty bad at direct damage but make up for it with some interesting ways to either debuff your enemies, control your enemies, or defend yourself.

• Blowpipe (DX/Hard)


• Bolas (DX/Average)


• Cloak (DX/Average)


• Dropping (DX/Average)


• Innate Attack (DX/Easy)


• Parry Missile Weapons (DX/Hard)


• Garrote (DX/Easy) - Make this a non-combat skill?
  Garrotes do not deal direct damage to your target. These may only be used on someone from behind who is helpless or unaware of you.

Size Modifer Differences

If using a weapon that is one or more size modifiers, apply a skill penalty for the difference. Example: if you are SM +1 and you're using a weapon designed for SM -2, you take a -3 skill penalty to using that weapon.

Size Modifier Cost and Weight Changes

• To go to SM +2 from SM 0, multiply the weight and base cost by 6. Weapon's base attack is multiplied by 2.5 (increased by 1 minimum).
• To go to SM +1 from SM 0, multiply the weight and base cost by 2. Weapon's base attack is multiplied by 2.5 (increased by 1 minimum).
• To go to SM -1 from SM 0, multiply the weight and base cost by 2/3.
• To go to SM -2 from SM 0, multiply the weight and base cost by 1/4.
