Damage type is listed next to the damage number (example; 1d6 slashing) and is one or more of the following; Slashing, Piercing, and/or Bludgeoning. Some weapons deal multiple damage types at once, or can switch to deal a different damage type with another part of the weapon entirely. Doing multiple damage types at once is written with an "and", and being able to switch damage types is written with an "or" instead.

Handedness

This is whether the listed weapon is meant to be wielded one-handed or two-handed. Weapons which are listed as one-handed can be wielded in two-hands if the wielder wishes however two-handed weapons cannot be wielded one-handed without assistance or abilities.
