WEAPON REPAIR

Weapons if destroyed may be repaired for a cost of their base price x1.5.

WEAPON UPGRADES

Upgrading Weapons

Upgading weapons follows a branching path system, with available options split into multiple tiers. At first, a weapon can only be upgraded with a limited selection of 1st tier tags depending on its type, each of which “unlocks” one or more options from the next tier. The following additional rules apply when upgrading a weapon with a new tag:

• All prerequisite conditions must be satisfied to apply a new tag, as shown in the Weapon Upgrades table.
• 2nd tier upgrades can only be applied by a trained craftsman, with 3rd tier upgrades requiring the skills of a master artisan.
• Typically,it takes an artisan a full day of work (minimum 8 hours) to upgrade a weapon with a new tag.
• Once added a tag can’t be removed from a weapon.

Weapon Upgrade Cost Structure

Upgrading a weapon has a base cost associated with each tier, with subsequent upgrades of that tier costing twice the previous amount for that tier. For example, Erik decides to pay a visit to a local blacksmith in order to have a customized pommel attached to his dagger—adding the balanced tag—for the tier 1 base cost of 100 gp. Later, he returns to have the blade honed—adding the sharpened tag—this time costing 200 gp, with the next 1st tier upgrade costing 400 gp, and so on. Upgrades are grouped by tier for the purposes of this cost scaling: continuing with the above example, if Erik then wishes to have the blade of his dagger partially serrated in order to improve its effectiveness when slicing and cutting—adding the saw-toothed tag—it would cost 1,000 gp (the 2nd tier base cost) provided that the dagger doesn’t already possess any other 2nd tier tags.

REVISED WEAPONS

Weapon Revisions

The following new properties have been added to certain weapons. The Revised Weapons table reflects these changes in bold for easy reference:

• Bandolier (Applies to daggers and darts). When making a ranged attack with a weapon that has the bandolier property, you can immediately draw another weapon of the same type as part of the attack.
• Concealed (Applies to blowguns, daggers, darts, hand crossbows, and slings). You have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks you make to keep this weapon hidden.
• Siege (Applies to greatclubs and mauls). This weapon deals double damage to objects and structures.
• In addition, the Heavy property has been added to greatclubs and the damage of greatclubs has been changed to 2d4.
• The Trident’s damage die has changed from 1d6 to 1d8, and its Versatile die is now 1d10 rather than 1d8.
• The War Pick now has the Versatile property (1d10).

Weapon Actions

In order to gain access to the Weapon Actions from a weapon, a creature must have Proficiency in that weapon type and have it equipped in the main hand or both hands (off-hand weapons do not grant Weapon Actions). If a weapon action you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the techniques's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Weapon's Ability Modifier. You may only use this feature up to your Profiecency Bonus per short rest or long rest. You cant use multiple Weapon Actions on the same attack.

EXOTIC WEAPONS

All Martial Classes at 5th level gain Proficiency in a single Exotic Weapon of their choice. Fighters at 3rd level gain Proficiency in a Single Exotic Weapon, and again each time they get an Extra Attack upon level up.
