Weapons

Weapon Stats for the Dawn Lands

For weapons we take our inspiration from some of the early versions of D&D. Weapons choice is seen as an ability and players are restricted to only using the weapons that are allowed by their class (for now).  The ability to use a lot of different weapons or a powerful weapon that can deal a lot of damage is treated as a special ability.  This is done in the hopes of achieving balance.

One handed Vs. Two handed

A weapon is one handed when it is either two short to wield with two hands or is short enough that during normal use the wield has the off hand free.  A Two handed weapon doesn’t always require the use of two hands. For example, if you have a two handed long spear but during one of your strikes you only use one hand, that is fine. But normally mostly you would need to use two hands or keep the other hand free. So, in these cases you cannot use a two handed weapon with an offhand item such as a shield or spear or dagger etc. The exception to this is if you grab a two handed weapon with one hand but don't use it for attack then you may wield a weapon in the other hand.
