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.

| Light mace or hammer | 1 | 1d6 | B | 20 | 10 cp | |
| Shortsword | 1 | 1d6 | S | 20 | 20 cp |
Medium Weapons
One-handed, light enough to wield a shield or light weapon in offhand. If you dual-wield medium weapons, you suffer -4 to attack and damage rolls with both. Can use Dex for attack rolls at your option; must use Str for damage rolls.
| Weapon | Hands | Damage | Damage Type | Critical | Special | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longsword | 1 | 1d8 | S/P | 19 | Bastard Grip | 50 cp |

- Bastard Grip: You may optionally wield this weapon with two hands, increasing the damage die by one step (e.g. 1d8 -> 1d10).

| Greatsword | 2 | 2d6 | 20 | 150 cp | |

Specials:
- Reach: gain +1 reach, but you don't threaten inside the area
- Set for charge: when an attacker charges you (front arc, awareness, blah blah), any readied actions or AOOs against them do double damage, and prevent forward motion on successful hit
