Weapon

Skill performing and attacking with a weapon.

Ability Score(s): Precision + Agility

Usage: Weapon is used as the attack roll against opponents when using weapons of a particular type. Like Divination, a weapon group must be chosen for Weapon.

The available weapon groups are found on the weapons page, but examples include Weapon (Swords), Weapon (Polearms), and Weapon (Axes).

Ranged-only weapons (not thrown weapons) use only Precision. This includes bows, and in settings where it's appropriate - firearms.

Parrying

Weapons can be used to parry similar to how one can dodge an oncoming attack. Doing so expends 2 Integrity of the weapon as well as 2 Stamina to perform. Once performed, you gain a bonus to your Physical Defense based on your skill with the weapon you're choosing to parry with plus any other bonuses you gain from parrying.

• Untrained: +1, and parrying with an untrained weapon costs 5 Stamina instead of 2 Stamina.
• Apprentice: +2
• Trained: +5
• Competent: +8
• Experienced: +13
• Master: +18
• Legendary: +25 or your Physical Defense, whichever is higher

Attacks per Turn

Players can make an amount of attacks on their turn depending on their skill with the weapon group in question.

• Untrained: 1 attack; this attack costs 10 Stamina and cannot be reduced (but can be increased)
• Apprentice: 1 attack
• Trained: 2 attacks
• Competent: 3 attacks
• Experienced: 4 attacks
• Master: 5 attacks
• Legendary: 5 attacks, subsequent attacks are made at 4 Stamina a piece instead of 8.
