Axe, Throwing | 2 | 5 | |
Bow, Composite | 50 | 6 | A bow made of layers of wood, bone, sinew, etc. Dates to the 23rd-Century BC. More effective than the long bow, but very difficult (and therefore expensive) to build. |
Bow, Long | See Longbow. |
||
Bow, Self | 50 | 3 | This a normalwooden bow, not as long as the longbow. |
Bow, Short | See Bow, Self. |
||
Crossbow | 60 | 8 | A heavy steel crossbow. Due to the long reload times, characters only get one shot every 6 rounds! |
Crossbow, Hand | 15 | 2 | This is a fantasy weapon; it never really existed. Nonetheless, some players think it's
just cool. A little hand-held crossbow. It doesn't have much of a draw weight, but it can be fired every round if the bolts are handy. |
Javelin | 10 | 4 | Lighter-weight version of the spear. |
Knife, Large | 3 | 2 | |
Knife, Small | 5 | 1 | |
Longbow | 40 | 5 | The English longbow. Developed in the mid-13th Century. Too big to be used from horseback. |
Short Bow | See "Bow, Self". | ||
Shotgun | 25 | 9 | No, not an ancient weapon. Just provided for comparison purposes. |
Sling | 70 | 3 | A piece of leather used to hurl golf-ball sized stones. Romans thought slingers were
more dangerous than archers, but that slingers could not be trained in a cost-effective
manner. Instead the Roman slingers were all conquered barbarianswho grew up using the sling. To simulate this difficulty of learning in game terms, say that a sling is at -6 (instead of -3) when used without expertise. Buying one level of expertise brings the penalty down to -3, and the a second level of expertise will allow the use of the sling at the slinger's full Aiming skill. |
Spear | 6 | 5 | A long stick with a metal pointy bit attached to one end, balanced for throwing. |
