Weapons are the main way of dealing damage to another character, below is a list of profiles of weapons that characters can acquire and use. Anyone may take any of these weapon profiles and use it for a different weapon that is not on the list as long as theyโ€™re somewhat similar. All weapons can use oneโ€™s choice between Strength or Dexterity for attacks unless limited by a specific weapon property.

In the table the Damage section dictates how much damage the weapon does upon hitting a target, the Grip section dictates how many hands are needed to wield the weapon, the Range section dictates from how many blocks away you can attack a target from with that weapon and the Properties section shows the properties that apply for that weapon and change how it is used.

Weapon Properties


Weapon properties change how a weapon is used, this can be both advantageous or disadvantageous to the wielder of the weapon, they serve to make each weapon feel somewhat unique and offer plenty of variation in strategies.

Separate from weapons a character can wear armor to increase their AC and make it harder for an attack to hit them but unlike weapons armor cannot be freely equipped or removed during an ongoing combat encounter. Wearing armor also has an effect on movement that depends on the tier of armor, additionally each tier of armor has a unique strength requirement and if armor is worn without the character meeting that strength requirement their attack rolls and movement are reduced by the tier of armor theyโ€™re wearing.

  • For example: a character is wearing Tier 3 armor but has a Strength stat lower than 12 then their movement and attack roll modifier are reduced by -3.
