Type-Specific Guidelines
Melee Weapons
Damage (added to Strength):
| Damage | Category | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| +0 | Minimal | Brass knuckles, small improvised |
| +1 | Light | Knife, small club |
| +2 | Medium | Sword, axe, baseball bat |
| +3 | Heavy | Large sword, fire axe |
| +4+ | Exceptional | Two-handed, masterwork |
Categories: Light (fast, concealable), Medium (balanced), Heavy (powerful, obvious), Improvised (+1 diff)
Ranged Weapons
Firearms (Dex + Firearms, fixed damage):
| Damage | Examples |
|---|---|
| 4 | Light pistol (.22, .25) |
| 5 | Medium pistol (9mm) |
| 6 | Heavy pistol (.45, .357) |
| 7 | Shotgun, SMG |
| 8 | Rifle |
| 9+ | Heavy weapons |
Bows/Crossbows (Dex + Athletics):
- Bows: Str +1 to +3 (draw strength matters)
- Crossbows: Fixed damage 5-6 (mechanical draw)
Range (yards):
| Range | Examples |
|---|---|
| 12-30 | Pistols |
| 40 | SMGs |
| 50 | Shotguns |
| 60-120 | Bows, crossbows |
| 200+ | Rifles |
Rate (shots/turn): 1 (bolt/crossbow) to 4+ (full auto)
Clip: Ammunition capacity (firearms only)
Thrown Weapons
Damage (added to Strength):
| Damage | Examples |
|---|---|
| Str +0 | Stones, darts |
| Str +1 | Throwing knives, shuriken |
| Str +2 | Throwing axes, spears |
| Str +3 | Heavy javelins |
Range (based on thrower's Strength):
- Short: Str × 3 yards (no penalty)
- Medium: Str × 6 yards (+1 diff)
- Long: Str × 9 yards (+2 diff)
Creation Workflow
- Concept: What weapon? Make/model or type? Cultural origin?
- Type: Melee, Ranged, or Thrown?
- Difficulty: Based on balance/handling
- Damage: Based on size/caliber/design
- Damage Type: Usually L for blades/bullets, B for blunt
- Concealability: Based on physical size
- Type-specific: Range/Rate/Clip for ranged; range mod for thrown
- Description: Appearance, history, combat role
Validation Checklist
- Damage matches weapon size/caliber
- Difficulty reflects handling complexity
- Concealability matches physical dimensions
- Damage type appropriate (blades=L, blunt=B)
- Ranged: Range/Rate/Clip realistic for weapon type
- Thrown: Range modifier noted if non-standard
Output Format
See references/output-templates.md for type-specific formats.
Quick stat line formats:
- Melee:
Damage: Str +X [L/B] | Diff: 6±X | Conceal: [P/J/T/N] - Ranged:
Damage: X L | Range: X | Rate: X | Clip: X | Conceal: [P/J/T/N] - Thrown:
Damage: Str +X [L/B] | Diff: 6±X | Conceal: [P/J/T/N]
