Weapon Quality

Quality weapons are those of exceptionally fine craftsmanship. The blade may be forged from the finest steel for flexibility and sharpness. The swordsmith may have carefully folded, hammered, and tempered the steel to a superb edge. The whole sword may be perfectly balanced, light in the hand, but heavy in the blow. There are many reasons why a sword or other weapon could be above average.

Careful craftsmanship and high quality give a weapon a +1 bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, or the weapon’s speed factor (or all of the above). The bonus on attack rolls is for those weapons that are exceptionally well-balanced, light, or quick. Weapons of perfectly tempered steel or carefully hammered blades gain the bonus to damage. The metal retains its razor sharpness, cleaving through armor like a hot needle through wax. Because they rely on mass and impact, bludgeoning weapons rarely gain a bonus to damage. Those that do get a bonus are because they have carefully shaped and balanced heads.

The quality of a weapon is not immediately apparent to the average person. While anyone using the weapon gets the quality bonus (even if they don’t realize it), only those proficient in that weapon-type or proficient in weaponsmithing can immediately recognize the true craftsmanship that went into the making of the weapon. Even then, the character must handle the weapon to appreciate its true value. For some reason, however, merchants almost always seem to know the value of their goods (at least the successful merchants do).

A Fine quality weapon grants one of these bonuses (attack, damage, or speed), costs 5 times as much as a normal weapon of its kind. An Exceptional quality weapon grants two of these bonuses and costs 10 times normal. And a Master quality weapon that grants all three bonuses costs 20 times the normal amount.

Weapon Materials

While some weapons are made of wood (Bows, Clubs, and Staves most notably), the majority are made of metal. While steel (an alloy of iron, carbon, and other trace metals) is the ideal material for waponsmithing, others are also used. In some cases alternative materials are used to enable the weapon to strike certain supernatural creatures—iron or silver for instance. In other cases steel may be impractical or expensive, or a culture may not have the technological skills to alloy metals.

Below are a list of common alternative materials used for metal weapons. This list is by no means comprehensive.

Material	Cost	Weight	Damage	Attack
Wood	10%	50%	-2	-3
Bone	30%	50%	-1	-1
Stone, Obsidian	50%	75%	-1	-2
Bronze	75%	x1	-1
Steel	x1	x1
Iron	x1	125%
Silver	x2	x1	-1
Gold	x10	200%	-1	-1
Green Steel	x20	x1
Glassteel†	x50	50%
Red Steel†	x100	50%
Adamantine	x500	75%	+1	+1

Obsidian, Bone, and Wood weapons are prone to breaking. Any natural attack roll of 1 the weapon shatters and becomes useless. Weapons made of these materials typically cannot be repaired.

† Glassteel and Red Steel weapons are considered magical for purpose of striking beings that can be hit only by magical weapons, but grant no bonuses to attack or damage rolls unless enchanted for that purpose.

Footnotes:

¹ Ranges: All ranges are calculated in Yards. Thus a range of “10”, is equal to 10 yards, or 30 feet. Each range category (Short, Medium, or Long) includes attacks from distances equal to or less than the given range. Thus, a heavy crossbow fired at a target 136 yards away uses the medium range modifier.
The attack roll modifiers for range are -2 for medium range and -5 for long range.
