Properties:

Many variants of weapons exist around the world, a regular greataxe from a blacksmith would be different than an Orcs greataxe forged from bone and crude metal, and again would be different to a Dwarven greataxe made by a master artisan.

• Adamantine: Adamantine is an ultrahard metal found in meteorites and extraordinary mineral veins. Whenever this weapon hits an object, the hit is a critical hit.
• 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 the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield.
• Aquatic: You do not have DisADV on Attacks made using Aquatic weapons as a result of being underwater.
• Balanced: An attack roll of 20 is made with this weapon, it is not a critical hit. This weapon does not automatically miss on a roll of 1.
• Brutal: Weapons that are heavier than normal or their swings are more top-heavy causes brutal hits to occur but at the cost of missing more often. When this weapon hits a creature and damages that creature for at least half its hit point maximum in one hit, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer a random effect determined by a roll on the System Shock table (DMG pg. 273). On an attack made with this weapon, a roll of 1 or 2 always misses.
• Chained: This weapon has a chain attached to one or both ends. When thrown you can maintain grasp of the weapon by using your interaction on your turn, returning it to your hand.
• Charge: This weapon can be used to deal lethal damage on a charge. If you move at least 20 feet in a straight line before engaging an opponent, you may choose to take a -2 modifier on your first attack roll against that creature. If you hit with that attack, you roll an additional damage die, equal to that of the weapons usual damage die.
• Concealed: This weapon can be hidden beneath an article of clothing to escape detection. 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.
• Disarm: A creature can use this weapon to knock an item from the targets grasp. The attacker makes an attack roll contested by the targets Strength check. If the attacker wins the contest, the attack causes no damage or other ill affects, but the target drops the item. Shields cannot be disarmed.
• Crude: Poorly put together, this weapon suffers a -1 penalty to attack rolls.
• Ensnaring: You can attempt to grapple a creature with an Ensnaring weapon as if it were a free hand.
• Everbright: Any weapon applied with everbright, a compound discovered by dwarves, is incredibly shiny and nontarnishable. It is also immune to rust and corrosion.
• Fierce: All weapons are designed to hurt, but some are particularly good at inflicting long-lasting injuries. When you score a critical hit with this weapon, the creature hit suffers a random penalty determined from a roll on the Lingering Injuries table (DMG pg.272). This effect replaces one of the weapon's bonus damage dice when determining damage for the critical hit.
• 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.
• Forceful: When you score a critical hit with this weapon, the creature hit suffers the effects of a Shove action as if they failed. The user of the weapon picks between prone or 5ft knockback. This effect replaces one of the weapon's bonus damage dice when determining damage for the critical hit.
• Heavy: Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively.
• Hidden: (see Concealed)
• 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.
• Magicite: A beautiful gem that looks as if it is swirling with colours is embedded in this weapon. You can use this weapon as an arcane focus. If you can cast spells, you can expend one 1st-level spell slot and spend 1 minute to magically charge this weapon. This charge lasts for 24 hours. While magically charged, you can expend the charge and use a bonus action to cast a 1st-level spell. After this weapon loses a charge roll a d20, on a roll of 1 this weapon loses this property as the gem cracks and loses its luster forever. Can contain 3 charges.
• Magnetic: Unattended metal objects are attracted to this weapon. If the weapon is held within 1 foot of anything made primarily out of metal, the object is attached to the weapon until pulled off using an Action. The weapon can hold up to 5x its weight. While an object is attached to this weapon, any attack made with this weapon suffers from disadvantage.
• Massive: This weapon is either very heavy or unwieldy to the point that it is always difficult to use. Attacks made with this weapon suffer from disadvantage. The damage die used for this weapon is one size bigger than regular damage die of a similar weapon of normal size.
• Masterwork: A weapon of masterwork quality is of the highest grade a non-magical weapon can be forged. This weapon gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls.
• Messy: Creatures hit by weapons that have spikes, serrated edges, and other such adornments are sometimes maimed or bloodied. This weapon can only do lethal damage but when you roll max damage for an attack you make with this weapon, the creature that was hit suffers a random effect determined by a 1d10 + 10 roll on the Lingering Injuries table (DMG pg. 272).
• Mithral: Weapons made out of this truemetal are unusually light. Any weapon with range has its normal range doubled and any weapon with no range can be Thrown(range 20/60).
• Non-Lethal: Some weapons can be used to incapacitate opponents as well as eliminate them, when striking with one of these weapons state weather the attack is intended to be lethal or non-lethal. When a non-lethal attack reduces a creature to O HP that creature is rendered unconscious but stable. At the DM’s discretion, unconscious but stable creatures regain 1 HP after no more than 10 minutes.
• Parry: When you are wielding a weapon with the parry property and a creature you can see hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add 1 to your AC for that attack.You must have a Dexterity score of 13 or higher to take advantage of this feature, which can be used in conjunction with the Defensive Duelist feat.
• Precise: When you score a critical hit with this weapon, the creature hit suffers the effects of a Disarm action as if they failed. This effect replaces one of the weapon's bonus damage dice when determining damage for the critical hit.
• Range: A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s maximum range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.
• Reach: This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you attack with it.
• Silvered: This weapon is coated or made out of silver.
• Special: A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon’s description
• 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 dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.
• Two-Handed: This weapon requires two hands to use.
• Unwieldy: You have DisADV on Attacks against targets within 5ft of you.
• Versatile: This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
