Equipment Rules
Melee Weapons
Weapon tables provide the items of information explained below. A given column will only appear on a table if it is germane to the weapons on that table. In all cases, “–” means the statistic does not apply, “var.” means the value varies, and “spec.” means to see the relevant weapon skill in Chapter 4 or applicable section of Chapter 13 for special rules.
Weapon
The general class of weapon in question; e.g., “shortsword” or “axe, great.” Each entry represents a wide range of individual types.
TL (Tech Level)
The tech level at which the weapon first becomes widespread. You may only buy weapons of TL3 or less, unless you have the High TL trait (p. 23).
Damage
For melee weapons, such as swords and axes, damage is ST-based and expressed as a modifier to the wielder’s basic thrusting (thr) or swinging (sw) damage, as given on the Damage Table (p. B16). For example, a spear does “thr+2,” so if you have ST 11, which gives a basic thrusting damage of 1d-1, you inflict 1d+1 damage with a spear. Note that swung weapons act as a lever, and so do more damage.
Armor Divisors: A parenthetical number after damage – e.g., (2) – is an armor divisor. Divide the target’s DR from armor or other sources by this number before subtracting it from your damage (or adding it to the target’s HT roll to resist an affliction). For instance, an attack with a divisor of (2) would halve DR. A fractional divisor increases DR: (0.5) multiplies DR by 2; (0.2) multiplies it by 5; and (0.1) multiplies it by 10.
Damage Type: An abbreviation indicating the type of injury or effect the attack causes.
| Abbreviation | Damage Type |
| aff | affliction |
| burn | burning |
| cor | corrosion |
| cr | crushing |
| cut | cutting |
| fat | fatigue |
| imp | impaling |
| pi- | small piercing |
| pi | piercing |
| pi+ | large piercing |
| pi++ | huge piercing |
| spec. | special – see weapon notes |
| tox | toxic |
A victim loses HP equal to the damage that penetrates his DR. Halve this for small piercing attacks; increase it by 50% for cutting and large piercing attacks; and double it for impaling and huge piercing attacks. Subtract fatigue damage from FP instead of HP. Afflictions cause no injury, but impose a particular affliction on a failed HT roll, as specified in the weapon’s notes. See Damage and Injury (p. B377) for additional rules.
Explosions: An “ex” after crushing or burning damage indicates the attack produces an explosion. This may injure those nearby: divide damage by three times distance in yards from the center of the blast. Some explosions scatter fragments that inflict cutting damage on anyone nearby (see Fragmentation Damage, p. B414). Fragmentation damage appears in brackets; e.g., “3d [2d] cr ex” means an explosion that inflicts 3d crushing damage and throws fragments that do 2d cutting damage. The “danger radius” for fragments is five yards times the dice of fragmentation damage; e.g., 10 yards for [2d]. If an explosive attack has an armor divisor, this only applies to the DR of a target that takes a direct hit – not to those caught in the blast radius or hit by fragments.
Afflictions: Some special weapons don’t list dice of damage. Instead, they give a HT modifier; e.g., “HT-3.” Anyone who is hit must attempt a HT roll at the listed penalty to avoid the effects of the affliction (e.g., unconsciousness). For example, a stun gun calls for a HT-3 roll to avoid being stunned for (20 - HT) seconds. Note that DR (modified by any armor divisor) normally adds to the victim’s HT; for instance, a DR 2 leather jacket would give +2 to your HT roll to resist that stun gun.
Other Effects: A few weapons have additional linked or follow-up effects, noted on a second line. These occur simultaneously with the primary attack on a successful hit. For details, see Linked Effects (p. B381) and Follow-Up Damage (p. B381).
Reach
This is the distance in yards at which a human-sized or smaller wielder can strike with the weapon. For example, reach “2” means the weapon can only strike a foe two yards away – not a closer or more distant one.
“C” indicates you can use the weapon in close combat; see Close Combat (p. B391).
Some weapons have a continuum of reaches; e.g., a spear with reach “1, 2” can strike targets either one or two yards away. An asterisk (*) next to reach means the weapon is awkward enough that it requires a Ready maneuver to change reach (e.g., between 1 and 2). Otherwise, you can strike at foes that are at any distance within the weapon’s reach.
Parry
A number, such as “+2” or “-1,” indicates the bonus or penalty to your Parry defense when using that weapon (see Parrying, p. B376). For most weapons, this is “0,” meaning “no modifier.”
“F” means the weapon is a fencing weapon (see p. B404).
“U” means the weapon is unbalanced: you cannot use it to parry if you have already used it to attack this turn (or vice versa).
“No” means the weapon cannot parry at all.
Cost
The price of a new weapon, in silver pieces. For swords and knives, this includes a sheath or a scabbard.
Weight
The weight of the weapon, in pounds; “neg.” means “negligible.”
ST (Strength)
The minimum Strength required to use the weapon properly. If you try to use a weapon that requires more ST than you have, you will be at -1 to weapon skill per point of ST you lack and lose one extra FP at the end of any fight that lasts long enough to fatigue you.
For a melee weapon, your effective ST for damage purposes cannot exceed triple the weapon’s minimum ST. For instance, a large knife has minimum ST 6, so its “maximum ST” is 18; if your ST were 19+, you would compute your damage as if you had ST 18.
Natural weapons (e.g., a punch or kick) have neither minimum nor maximum ST.
“†” means the weapon requires two hands. If you have at least 1.5 times the listed ST (round up), you can use a weapon like this in one hand, but it becomes unready after you attack with it. If you have at least twice the listed ST, you can wield it one-handed with no readiness penalty. But if it requires one hand to hold it and another to operate a moving part, like a bow or a pump shotgun, it always requires two hands, regardless of ST.
“‡” means the weapon requires two hands and becomes unready after you attack with it, unless you have at least 1.5 times the listed ST (round up). To use it in one hand without it becoming unready, you need at least three times the listed ST.
Notes
Any applicable notes for the weapon or its usage are listed here.
Melee Weapon Quality
Muscle-powered melee and thrown weapons come in several quality grades, described below. Quality influences the odds of breakage when you parry a very heavy weapon; see Parrying Heavy Weapons (p. B376).
| Quality | Break Modifier | Damage Modifier | Cost Modifier |
| Cheap | +2 | 0 (-1 Acc) | -40% |
| Good | +0 | +0 | +0% |
| Fine | -1 | +1 (cutting/impaling only) | x4 (fencing or sword), x3 (crushing or impaling weapon) or x10 (cutting weapon) |
| Very Fine | -2 | +2 (cutting/impaling only) | x20 (fencing weapons and swords only) |
| Presentation | N/A | N/A | x5 to x20 (stacks with price modifiers above) |
Melee Weapon Composition
| Composition | TL | Notes |
| Stone | 0 | Armor divisor (0.5) on cutting and impaling damage, no damage bonus for being fine or better; treat as cheap when parrying a swung metal weapon |
| Obsidian | 1 | +1 to cutting/impaling damage, +2 to breakage; loses damage bonus if used to parry any weapon or strike DR 2+ |
| Bronze | 1 | No damage bonus for being fine or better; treat as cheap when parrying a swung weapon of superior metals |
| Solid Silver | 1 | Cost x20 list price |
| Silver Coated | 1 | Cost x3; wounding multiplier for Vulnerability (Silver) reduced (x2 to x1.5, x3 to x2, x4 to x3) |
| Iron | 2 | No damage bonus for being fine or better; No damage bonus for being fine or better; treat as cheap when parrying a swung weapon of superior metals |
| Steel | 3 | Default composition; no modifiers |

Missile Weapons
Weapon
The general class of weapon in question; e.g., “blowpipe” or “crossbow.” Each entry represents a wide range of individual types.
TL (Tech Level)
The tech level at which the weapon first becomes widespread. You may only buy weapons of your campaign’s TL or less, unless you have the High TL trait (p. 23).
Damage
For missile weapons, such as bows and crossbows, damage is ST-based and expressed as a modifier to the wielder’s basic thrusting (thr) or swinging (sw) damage, as given on the Damage Table (p. B16). For example, a spear does “thr+2,” so if you have ST 11, which gives a basic thrusting damage of 1d-1, you inflict 1d+1 damage with a spear.
Armor Divisors: A parenthetical number after damage – e.g., (2) – is an armor divisor. Divide the target’s DR from armor or other sources by this number before subtracting it from your damage (or adding it to the target’s HT roll to resist an affliction). For instance, an attack with a divisor of (2) would halve DR. A fractional divisor increases DR: (0.5) multiplies DR by 2; (0.2) multiplies it by 5; and (0.1) multiplies it by 10.
Damage Type: An abbreviation indicating the type of injury or effect the attack causes.
| Abbreviation | Damage Type |
| aff | affliction |
| burn | burning |
| cor | corrosion |
| cr | crushing |
| cut | cutting |
| fat | fatigue |
| imp | impaling |
| pi- | small piercing |
| pi | piercing |
| pi+ | large piercing |
| pi++ | huge piercing |
| spec. | special – see weapon notes |
| tox | toxic |
A victim loses HP equal to the damage that penetrates his DR. Halve this for small piercing attacks; increase it by 50% for cutting and large piercing attacks; and double it for impaling and huge piercing attacks. Subtract fatigue damage from FP instead of HP. Afflictions cause no injury, but impose a particular affliction on a failed HT roll, as specified in the weapon’s notes. See Damage and Injury (p. B377) for additional rules.
Explosions: An “ex” after crushing or burning damage indicates the attack produces an explosion. This may injure those nearby: divide damage by three times distance in yards from the center of the blast. Some explosions scatter fragments that inflict cutting damage on anyone nearby (see Fragmentation Damage, p. B414). Fragmentation damage appears in brackets; e.g., “3d [2d] cr ex” means an explosion that inflicts 3d crushing damage and throws fragments that do 2d cutting damage. The “danger radius” for fragments is five yards times the dice of fragmentation damage; e.g., 10 yards for [2d]. If an explosive attack has an armor divisor, this only applies to the DR of a target that takes a direct hit – not to those caught in the blast radius or hit by fragments.
Afflictions: Some special weapons don’t list dice of damage. Instead, they give a HT modifier; e.g., “HT-3.” Anyone who is hit must attempt a HT roll at the listed penalty to avoid the effects of the affliction (e.g., unconsciousness). For example, a stun gun calls for a HT-3 roll to avoid being stunned for (20 - HT) seconds. Note that DR (modified by any armor divisor) normally adds to the victim’s HT; for instance, a DR 2 leather jacket would give +2 to your HT roll to resist that stun gun.
Other Effects: A few weapons have additional linked or follow-up effects, noted on a second line. These occur simultaneously with the primary attack on a successful hit. For details, see Linked Effects (p. B381) and Follow-Up Damage (p. B381).
Acc (Accuracy)
Add Accuracy to your skill if you took an Aim maneuver on the turn prior to your attack. If the weapon has a builtin scope, the bonus for this appears as a separate modifier after the weapon’s base Acc; e.g., “7+2.”
Range
If a weapon has only one range number, this is the Maximum Range (Max) in yards at which it can attack a target. If two numbers appear, separated by a slash, the first is Half-Damage Range (1/2D) and the second is Max. Damaging attacks on targets at or beyond 1/2D inflict half damage, and those that require a HT roll to resist are resisted at +3.
Muscle-powered weapons usually list 1/2D and Max as multiples of the wielder’s ST, not as a fixed range. For example, “x10/x15” means 1/2D is 10xST and Max is 15xST, so someone with ST 10 would have 1/2D 100 and Max 150. For bows, crossbows and mechanical artillery, use the weapon’s ST in these formulas.
A few weapons have a minimum range, given in their Notes. The weapon cannot attack a target closer than this range – usually because it fires in a high arc, or has safety, fusing, or guidance limitations.
Weight
The weight of the weapon, in pounds; “neg.” means “negligible.” For missile weapons with Shots 2+, this is loaded weight.
RoF (Rate of Fire)
The maximum number of shots an ordinary shooter can fire in a one-second turn.
Shots
The number of shots the weapon can fire before you must reload or recharge it. “T” means the weapon is thrown. To “reload,” pick it up or ready a new weapon!
The parenthetical number following Shots indicates the number of one second Ready maneuvers needed to reload all of the weapon’s shots (e.g., by changing magazines) – or, for a thrown weapon, the time needed to ready another weapon. An “i” next to this means you must load shots individually: the time listed is per shot rather than for all shots.
A crossbow or prodd takes the indicated time to ready (4 turns) only if its ST is no greater than yours (see Crossbows and ST, below). Double this if the bow’s ST is 1 or 2 greater. If its ST is 3 or 4 greater, you need a “goat’s foot” device to cock it; this takes 20 turns, and requires you to stand. If its ST is 5 or more above yours, you cannot reload it at all.
Cost
The price of a new weapon, in silver coins.
ST (Strength)
The minimum Strength required to use the weapon properly. If you try to use a weapon that requires more ST than you have, you will be at -1 to weapon skill per point of ST you lack and lose one extra FP at the end of any fight that lasts long enough to fatigue you.
“†” means the weapon requires two hands. If you have at least 1.5 times the listed ST (round up), you can use a weapon like this in one hand, but it becomes unready after you attack with it. If you have at least twice the listed ST, you can wield it one-handed with no readiness penalty. But if it requires one hand to hold it and another to operate a moving part, like a bow or crossbow, it always requires two hands, regardless of ST.
Crossbows and ST: Bows, crossbows, and prodds have their own ST value. Use this instead of your ST to determine range and damage. You must specify the ST of such a weapon when you buy it. You can always use a weapon that is weaker than you. You can use a stronger crossbow or prodd; it does more damage but take longer to cock (see Shots, above). You cannot use a stronger bow.
Bulk
A measure of the weapon’s size and handiness. Bulk modifies your weapon skill when you take a Move and Attack maneuver (see Move and Attack, p. 365). It also serves as a penalty to Holdout skill when you attempt to conceal the weapon.
Notes
Any applicable notes for the weapon or its usage are listed here.
Missile Weapon Quality
Blowpipes, bows, and crossbows may be fine weapons. Increase 1/2D and Max range by 20%. They cost 4 times list price.
Thrown weapons, and arrows and bolts, use the rules under Melee Weapon Quality (p. B274).

Armor
Armor
The item’s name.
TL (Tech Level)
The tech level at which the armor is commonly available.
Location
The area the armor protects on a humanoid wearer. Individual locations are skull (top of the head), face (the face, excluding the eyes), neck, eyes, arms, hands, torso (the abdomen and chest), groin, legs, and feet. Limbs covers the arms and legs, but not the hands or feet. Head covers skull, face, and eyes. Body is neck, torso, and groin. Full suit is everything but the head.
DR (Damage Resistance)
The amount of Damage Resistance the item gives. Subtract this from any blow that strikes the armored location. For instance, if you’re wearing a DR 6 corselet and are hit in the torso for 8 points of damage, only 2 points penetrate and affect you. Some armor has a split DR; e.g., “4/2.” This means DR varies by location or by type of attack; see the notes for that piece of armor.
“*” means the armor is flexible. Flexible armor is easier to conceal or wear under other armor, and quicker to don or remove, but it is more vulnerable to blunt trauma damage.
“F” means the DR only protects against attacks from the front.
Cost
The item’s price, in silver coins.
Weight
The item’s weight, in pounds.
LC (Legality Class)
The item’s Legality Class; see Legality Class (p. 267).
Rea Pen (Reaction Penalty)
In a noncombat situation, armor that covers the face or entire head gives -2 to reaction rolls. Nonconcealable armor with DR 2+ anywhere else (except the hands or feet) gives -1, or -2 if it isn’t flexible and covers the torso. These penalties are cumulative: plate armor and a full helm would give you -4!
However, there is no reaction penalty if the NPC making the reaction roll recognizes the wearer’s need or right to wear armor in the situation. Examples of socially acceptable armor include a knight on campaign or at a tourney; a guard wearing armor while with a moving caravan or the like.
