Braced (4)
You can use your action to Brace a weapon with this property, the first time a mounted creature or a creature taking the Charge action enters or moves within your Reach in a round you can expend your Reaction to make an attack against that creature. Should you hit that creature, this attack is considered an automatic critical threat, you still must confirm the critical hit as normal. If you would normally critically hit, this is instead considered an automatic critical hit.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 15gp. This is not applied to weapons that receive this property for free.
Brittle (-2)
This weapon suffers half of its maximum HP in damage whenever you would confirm a fumble with it. This weapon confirms a fumble on a 5 or lower. Ammunition with this property is automatically destroyed upon impact, it cannot be recovered.- This property decreases the base value of any weapon made with it by 50 percent. A weapon with this property cannot also have Disposable.
Covert (2)
A weapon with this property is easy to conceal on your person, you gain Advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks made to conceal this weapon.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 5gp.
Disposable (-4)
- This weapon is destroyed upon use.
Entangle (4)
A weapon with this property causes a creature hit by it to suffer from the Restrained condition. An entangling weapon has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are two size categories larger than the weapon. A creature can use its action to make a DC 15 Athletics check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Destroying the entangling weapon also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the weapon. When you use an Action, Bonus Action, or Reaction to Attack with an entangling weapon, you can make only one Attack with this weapon, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.Heavy
A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large for a creature smaller than the weapon’s size to use effectively. A creature one-size category smaller than the weapon’s designed size has Absolute Disadvantage on Attack rolls made with Heavy Weapons. While all other small creatures simply cannot use the weapon, regardless of their Strength score.Improvised
A weapon with the Improvised property is not designed to be used in combat. The wielder does not add their Proficiency bonus to attack rolls made with an improvised weapon unless they possess an ability or feat that allows them to do so. An improvised weapon reduces its damage die by one step. A ranged weapon that inherently gains this property only applies this property when not using its range attack method, such as a projectile weapon being used to make a melee attack instead of a ranged projectile attack.Light
A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. A weapon with this property can be used as the off-handed weapon using the Two-Weapon Fighting rule while equipped. An off-handed weapon does not apply your Ability modifier to the damage of the weapon, unless the modifier is negative.Lingering (4)
A weapon with this property causes the target hit to suffer from the Aflame (damage suffered) condition.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 15gp.
Loading (4)
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.Loading, Slow (2)
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. You must use an Action to reload the weapon before it can be fired again.Projectile
You can use a weapon that has the Projectile property to make a ranged Attack only if you have ammunition to launch 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 (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your non-destroyed expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield. If you use a weapon that has the Projectile property to make a melee Attack, you treat the weapon as an Improvised Weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section). A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.Range
A weapon that can be used to make a ranged Attack has a range in parentheses after the Ammunition, Projectile, 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 long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have Disadvantage on the Attack roll. You cannot Attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.Reach (2)
This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you Attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for Reactionary attacks with it. A weapon of the Axe, Club, Flail, Lance, Hammer, Mace, Pick, Spear, or Sword type with this property is considered a Polearm for features that rely on the use of a polearm.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 5gp. This is not applied to Lance or Spear class weapons. Additionally, a weapon that would normally utilize a weapon hilt with this property instead utilizes weapon hafts. Finally, weapons with this property add either an additional Base Weapon Haft or an additional Whip Part, as appropriate to the given weapon.
Ricochet (4)
An ammunition or projectile weapon with this property causes the projectile loosed from it to ricochet to a target of your choice that is within 15 feet of the original target. Should the original attack roll hit this new target, they suffer base weapon damage from the ricocheting attack.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 5gp.
Snagging (2)
Whenever you Shove a creature Prone with this weapon, you can move them 5 feet to an unoccupied space of your choice.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 5gp.
Special (6)
A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon’s description (see “Special Weapons” later in this section).- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by between 0gp and 150gp, See GM.
Splash [#] (2)
A weapon with this property causes all creatures within a 5 feet per splash score radius burst of the target creature to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency bonus with the weapon + your attack ability modifier with the weapon) or suffer the weapons minimum damage. You may increase the DC of this property by 1 for every +2 added to the Craft DC. A successful save halves this damage. Should you miss with a Splash weapon, you must roll a d8 to determine where the weapon lands, with a 1 being the space directly to the north-west of your target and going in clockwise order from there with each number on the d8, this determines the trajectory of the attack. For every 4 by which you miss your targets AC, the weapon lands an additional 5 feet away from the intended target within the trajectory of the attack.- This property increases the value of any weapon made with it by 5gp.
Thrown (2)
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 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. If you miss with a thrown weapon, you must roll a d8 to determine where the weapon lands, with a 1 being the space directly to the north-west of your target and going in clockwise order from there with each number on the d8, this determines the trajectory of the attack. For every 4 by which you miss your targets AC, the weapon lands an additional 5 feet away from the intended target within the trajectory of the attack.Two-Handed
This weapon requires two hands to use when you attack with it. A weapon with this property cannot effectively be used in one hand. A two-handed weapon can be hefted onto a shoulder or temporarily held in one hand to allow casting or other somatic components to occur in the off-hand.Unwieldy
A weapon with the Unwieldy property cannot be used to make repeated attacks, due to its large and cumbersome nature. An Unwieldy weapon can only be used to attack once per round, regardless of if it’s fully loaded and aimed within the same round or if its wielder can make multiple attacks in a single attack action; in addition, it cannot be used to make Reactionary attacks.Versatile (2*)
This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—this is the damage used when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee Attack. This increased damage is normally the same step as the base weapon on the one-handed table but utilizes the two-handed versatile damage table instead of the one-handed damage table chosen when crafting the weapon; however, you can increase this damage further by spending half of the difference in cost from the versatile damage at base to the desired damage chosen. This property increases the weight of the weapon by utilizing the Two-Handed/Versatile weight calculations of the weapon instead of the Normal calculations for weight.Bronze Age Weapon Properties

The second tier of this property has the weapon attached to the wielder’s arm; it cannot be disarmed. The wielder cannot wield, carry items, or otherwise use that hand while this weapon is attached. The third tier of this property has the weapon attached to another weapon, typically a ranged weapon with some form of solid body, such as a crossbow or firearm.

Indirect
An indirect weapon is difficult to aim, and unlikely to hit the exact location desired. A non-proficient user attacking with an indirect weapon suffers a -2 penalty on attack rolls. An indirect weapon suffers Absolute Disadvantage on attack rolls if the weapon is not aimed first using an Action. An indirect weapon targets an AC equal to the AC of the material found at its target location, instead of the targets AC, and on success the user must roll a d10 to determine where it lands, with a 1 being the square directly below the target space, 2-8 being the adjacent square in clockwise order, and 9-10 being a direct hit. If any number other than a 9 or 10 is rolled, a d4 must then be rolled to determine how many 5-feet spaces in the rolled direction the attack lands. A creature directly struck by an indirect weapon gains a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10 + attacker’s Proficiency bonus with the weapon + attacker’s attack ability modifier with the weapon), success means they suffer half damage.Siege Engine [Size] (10)
A siege engine is a large, structure-like weapon designed to assault and assail fortifications and beasts of immense size, heavily used in war, siege engines are unique in nature in that they are both weapon and structure, thus they hold their own category. A weapon with this property requires its users to be both proficient in the type of Siege Engine as this weapon and with the weapon classification of the siege engine, whether that is simple, martial, or exotic. For example, the user of a martial mangonel would need to be proficient in both catapults and martial weapons. All siege engines have a classifier tied to them that denotes the size of the siege engine, which is used to determine its durability, its damage, the time it takes to set up-given in number of Actions, the time it takes to reload-given in number of Actions, the time it takes to aim-given in number of Actions, and the number of crew required to utilize the siege engine, additional crew members provide no benefit. A siege engine increases the distance an indirect attack that misses lands by an additional 1d4, with an additional 1d4 at Huge and again at Colossal size. The abilities of the siege engine are shown in the table below:| Size | Durability | Damage | Emplacement | Reload | Aim | Crew | Weight |
