Weapons

Any character may use any weapon. There is no concept of proficiency as in d20.

Dual-wielding inflicts a 10% hit chance penalty.

Parry is allowed only when wielding a Strength-based weapon or a short sword.

Inferior Weapons

Some weapons just aren't meant for mainstream combat. However, they may possess other special abilities that make them worthwhile.

Weapon	Hands	Damage	Hit Rating	Hit Power	Crit Rating	Crit Power	Damage Type	Special
Staff	2	Medium	+0	+0	+0	+0	Bludgeoning	Can hold implement enchants, can be used as a double weapon
Whip	1	Light	-5	-50	+0	+0	Slashing	Reach, can be used to grab or disarm

Ranged Weapons

Ranged weapons have additional factors to consider.

Missile weapons suffer a -1% chance to hit per square of distance. The maximum range of any proper projectile weapon is vastly in excess of the size of the largest battle mats.

Thrown weapons suffer the usual miss chance, and their maximum range is equal to one square per point of Strength.

Reloading a ranged weapon, is, by default, a free action. Haste penalties exist for some weapons which can be slow to reload.
