Weapon Rules:
When a Lightbearer makes an Attack roll, they use their MASMod.
Weapon damage also benefits from a Lightbearer's MASMod and PB.
Unless a weapon has specific features, all weapons require a Bonus Action to reload.
Weapons can be attuned to certain elements, like Solar, Void, Stasis, etc. However, Light- and Dark-based weapons are reserved for extremely rare cases and certain Exotic weapons.
All weapons that are not Silent make noise that can be detected up to 5000ft. away.
Unless otherwise stated: for every SAVE relating to Weapons, successful SAVEs will still result in half damage. Successful SAVEs will also prevent the application of status conditions such as Burn or Chill.
A Lightbearer requires both hands to handle weapons. Lightbearers can only use shields in tandem with weapons if the weapon has the Lightweight property.
Weapon Tiers:
“White”: Common. Run of the mill, standard issue. Most everyone has these. These weapons do not have perks.
“Green”: Uncommon weapons. Typically common weapons upgraded in some form. Contains 1 Secondary Perk. Weapons of this tier or higher are considered magical for the purposes of determining resistances.
“Blue”: Rare weapons. A +1 Weapon that contains a Main Perk and a Secondary Perk.
“Purple”: Legendary Weapons. A +1 Weapon that contains a Main Perk, a Secondary Perk, and an Origin Trait.
Masterworked: Legendary Weapons that are fine-tuned through spending enhancement resources. These are +2 Weapons that have 2 Main Perks, 1 Secondary Perk, and an Origin Trait. When determining the perks, the 2 Main Perks cannot be the same Perk.
Ascended: This is not a tier of weapon, but a title granted to a weapon when one or more Perks on a weapon are amplified via an Ascendent Alloy. Any weapon can be Ascended except for Exotic Weapons.
Exotic Weapons: Unique weapons with their own attributes. These weapons are built from the ground up, but may also contain a combination of Ammo and Main perks. Unless otherwise stated, Exotic Weapons are +3 Weapons. Additionally, These weapons require Attunement, and a Lightbearer can attune to only one Exotic Weapon at a time. A Lightbearer can attune to two Exotic weapons at Level 10.
