Weapons: Difference between revisions

To attack with a weapon, you have to spend a certain amount of AP. Weapons have unique APC (Action Point Costs) listed in the weapons tables below. Some weapons have a set APC: a Dagger always costs 2 AP, and a Crossbow always costs 3 AP. Some weapons have APC formulas; these are a little more complex. For example, a longsword has an APC of 5-STR, min 2. This means that using a Longsword has an APC of 5, but you subtract your STR attribute from the APC, to a minimum of 2. When you spend AP to make an attack, roll 1d20 and add your relevant attribute. The attribute you use for a weapon is dependent upon that weapon and is specified in the Attribute column on the weapons tables below. This will usually be STR or DEX. If your roll equals or exceeds your target’s defense (usually AR, but some attacks will target other defenses),

When you hit with a weapon attack, you deal damage. Roll the amount of damage specified in the Damage column on the weapons tables below and add the attribute specified in the Attr. column. The creature takes that much damage, subtracting it from their current HP. If a weapon says that it deals “Physical” damage, that means you can choose whether you deal blunt or sharp damage each time you use it. Polearms often have this property, given that you can often attack with either the bladed end or the butt of the weapon.
