Weapons

A character can have one or several weapon masteries. The efficiency of each weapon to cut, pierce, crush and parry are represented as good, fair or bad.

Each weapon has a minimal amount of Strength required to use it without malus.

• -1: -1 Attack/Defense and -1 damage
• -2: -3 Attack/Defense and -2 damage
• -3: -5 Attack/Defense and -3 damage
• -4: -10 Attack/Defense and -4 damage
• -5: -20 Attack/Defense and -5 damage
• ←5: cannot hold the weapon

Each point of Strength exceeding this limit will grant additional damage up to the weapon limit bonus damage (halved for one hand weapons).

For hardcore gamer, after a combat, each point of Strength exceeding the weapon maximal limit (bonus damage) force the player to throw a D10, a 10 means that the weapon has broken.

Close combat weapons are separated in three reaches: short, standard and great. This only means that a greater reach weapon can strike a shorter type weapon without risking counter-attack.

A character can throw a weapon at max 2Strength meters.

A bow/crossbow distance depends on the type of bow and the character Strength.

One-hand weapons only benefit from half the Strength for damage bonus.

Two-hand weapons benefit from all the Strength for damage bonus.

Two one-hand weapons require more Agility (-1Attack first hand and -3Attack second hand). You realize one combat test for each weapon.

With a Light weapon a character can follow a successful attack with bonus attacks which require new Attack test and do not create new Defense tests for the defender.

Heavy weapons benefit more from Strength.

A Light weapon attacks before a Balanced weapon which attacks before a Heavy weapon.

A melee weapon mastery cannot be superior to 2 plus the mastery of Strength or Agility.

A distance weapon mastery cannot be superior to 2 plus the mastery of Perception or Agility.

A character having mastered a weapon (at any rank) knows the way of fighting and can learn a new mastery twice as quickly (up to the current max mastery).

For each type of weapon the character develops a mastery which grants them default bonuses and specific bonuses (specific to each weapon type).
