Additional weapon properties
Keen
Attacks with this weapon deal a critical hit on a 19.
Versatile(x)
This weapon gains extra properties when wielded with two hands. For example, a war-spear has the Versatile(1d8, reach) property, which means it gains a bigger damage die and the Reach property when wielded with two hands.
Explode
Damage dealt by this weapon explodes. As long as you roll the maximum number on the die, you can roll the die again and add it to the total.
Returning
When thrown, weapons with this property return you your hand, hit or miss.
Exotic Weapons
Some weapons require special training to use effectively. These are often culture-specific, and the knowledge to make and use them might be closely guarded. To acquire proficiency in these weapons, you must train for it.
| Weapon | Type | Damage | Properties |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chakram | Exotic Melee | 1d6 slashing | Finesse, Light, Thrown(20/40), Returning |
| Katar | Exotic Melee | 1d6 piercing | Finesse, Light, Keen |
| Katana | Exotic Melee | 1d8 slashing | Finesse, Keen, Versatile(1d10) |
| Greatspear | Exotic Melee | 1d8 piercing | Reach, Versatile(1d10) |
| Boomerang | Exotic Ranged | 2d4 bludgeoning | Thrown(30/60), Returning |
| Warbow | Exotic Ranged | 1d10 piercing | Ammunition(100/400), Two-handed, Heavy, Special |
Warbow
The warbow is very heavy to draw. You can add both your Strength and Dexterity modifier to the damage dealt by warbow attacks.
Combined Weapons
Some exotic weapons are combinations of other weapons, letting you switch between two different weapon types at will, no action required. In order to learn to use one of these combined weapons, you need to be proficient with all the constituent weapons.
When using one of these weapons, it only has the properties of the type of weapon it is being used as. For example, a level 5 Fighter using a staffsling can attack once with it as a sling using Dexterity for 1d4 bludgeoning damage, before closing the distance and attacking in melee using Strength for 1d8 bludgeoning damage.
If you have any features which affect one of the constituent weapons, that feature only affects a combined weapon if it is being used like that weapon. For example, our Fighter from above could use Polearm Master to make an extra attack if they had attacked atleast once with the staffsling as a quarterstaff.
Swordwhip
(shortsword and whip) A swordwhip consists of a segmented blade that can be pulled taut into a sword, or relaxed into a flexible whip.
Staffsling
(quarterstaff and sling) A staffsling is a quarterstaff with a sling attached to the top for extra leverage. It is a signature weapon among the smallkin on southern Cottenhorn.
Glaivebow
(double-bladed scimitar and longbow) Some elves, especially those who live in the Feywild, use a special type of longbow where both limbs are sharp blades, letting it be used in ranged and melee combat interchangably.
Firearms
Firearms are powerful ranged weapons, but they cannot be easily reloaded in combat once fired. Shots from firearms can be heard up to a 600 feet away. Proficiency with firearms is considered an exotic weapon proficiency.
The table below shows different firearm types. It is divided into three tiers, renaissance, western, and modern. Renaissance weapons deal heavy damage, but take a long time to load. Western weapons introduce the cartridge, giving rise to repeating fire. Modern firearms are powerful weapons of war, capable of dealing immense damage.

Firearm properties
Loading: The weapon needs time to reload before it can be fired again once empty. You can only attack once per turn with this weapon, and you need an empty hand in order to reload.
Emplaced: A weapon designed to be used in the same spot with a bipod or other support. You cannot attack with this weapon and move on the same turn.
Automatic: An automatic weapon can be used to suppress an area. As an action, you can force each creature in a 10-foot sphere centered on a point within the weapon's short range to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + prof + dex) or take damage as if they had been hit by the weapon.
Range: Generally, a one-handed firearm has a long range that is double its normal range, while a two-handed one has a long range that is triple its normal range. Shotguns are exceptions, and follow the rules for one-handed firearms.
Ammunition
Ammunition is costly to make. Its price is dependant on the size of the damage die used by the weapon (the number of dice rolled is irrelevant to the price, just the size of the die).
| Bullet type | Price (per dozen) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| d4 | 1gp | Shotgun pellets |
| d6 | 1gp | Handgun and other small calibers |
| d8 | 5gp | Intermediate calibers |
| d10 | 10gp | Large calibers |
| d12 | 50gp | Very large or specialized calibers |
A character can make up a dozen bullets of a given type in an hour (can be done during a short rest) with the proper supplies (lead and powder of the requisite value, and gunsmith's tools).
