Melee Weapons

Note on damage dice:

  • You gain bonus dice based on your rank. For example, a dagger inflicts 1d4; at rank 2, it inflicts 2d4, and at rank 3, 3d4, etc.
    • A weapon that naturally inflicts multiple dice, such as 2d6 at rank 1, would inflict 4d6 at rank 2, etc.

Light Weapons

One-handed, light enough to dual wield and make sneak attacks. Can use Dex instead of Str for attack and damage rolls.

Light melee weapons can also be thrown with a range increment of 1 square.
