Weapon Stat Table
Section titled “Weapon Stat Table”Summary Table
Section titled “Summary Table”Different weapons grant different advantages. For instance a knife deals less damage, but is easier to hit with, so you get a bonus on weapon rolls, but major penalties to damage and parry rolls. A giant flail on the other hand is hard to hit with, hard to parry against, and deals massive damage.
Note: Detailed weapon tables with specific stats (Attack Mod, Parry Mod, Damage formula, Weight, Cost, etc.) are available in the full RPG documentation at astro-site/public/rpg/weapons/index.html. This page provides an overview of weapon categories.
