Realistic Equipment with a Fantasy Flair

---

The RME Homebrew gives extra options, more damage, and greater flexibility to the equipment of martial classes. It is an attempt to make each weapon feel unique and interesting, and give the average fighter more to do on their turn, rather than simply attack, roll a couple of damage dice, then wait for the next turn.

The equipment in this system is not only lifted from the core rules, but several dozen more were added for fantasy concepts and to cover a wide range of cultures and time frames at home in a medieval fantasy setting. The weapons are no longer divided into "simple" and "martial" categories, rather each weapon, shield, and armor is now part of a group of similar equipment, such as axes, bludgeons, or polearms.

Different shields and armors are now available, having greater flexibility on what to do with your shield, and having greater historical accuracy on what types of armors were made and worn by medieval peoples. In general, RME weapons and equipment find similar roles as what was found in ancient combat history, while also blending fantasy elements such as returning boomerangs or dual wielding crossbows.

Translating Weapon Proficiencies to Training Levels

Look at your species and any feats you've taken; note any proficiencies with weapons, armor, and shields. These proficiencies become Basic training. For example, if you have chosen a dwarf as your race, you will gain Basic training with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.

When a class lists proficiency with "simple weapons," you instead have Basic training with all weapons in the simple weapons table in the reference section. Anything you do not have proficiency with means you are at the Untrained level. For example, a human sorcerer would use a greatsword at an Untrained level.

If any proficiencies are redundant, you instead have master training with that equipment. For example, a Drow has proficiency with hand crossbows, shortswords and rapiers, and the rogue class gives proficiency with those as well. So a Drow Rogue would have master training with hand crossbows, shortswords and rapiers, and Basic training with the other weapons listed for Rogue. The exception to this is with multiclassing. A Fighter multiclassed with Barbarian would not have master training with their weapons, simply because both classes give proficiency with martial weapons.

Class proficiencies, i.e. starting training levels for each class, are covered in Class Training and Starting Equipment. All martial classes which give proficiency with "martial weapons," are instead translated into Basic training for up to 8 weapon categories of the player's choosing.

Other Weapon Proficiencies

Your campaign can also have specific settings and cultures unique to each playable species. At your DMs discretion, your species choice can give you proficiency, which translates to basic training, in two or three different pieces of equipment.

Because this can be easily abused, before your campaign starts, your DM should determine which two or three proficiencies each species would inherit. These should be based upon national identity, cultural influence, or military tradition, and not simply a character's background or profession.

Downtime Training

You can also increase your training with any equipment group. To train up from Untrained to Basic for a certain equipment group, you must find a capable teacher.

Each day you train for at least an hour with your trainer, you add your Intelligence score to a total. Your trainer additionally makes their choice of Performance, History, Athletics or Acrobatics check once per day, and the DM rolls 2d10 + 5. If your trainer beats the DMs roll, the trainer adds their respective ability score from the skill check they rolled to your total as well. When your total reaches at least 500, you have completed the training and have Basic training with the equipment group.

To train from Basic to Master, you train with a single equipment, and your training total must reach at least 2500, starting back from 0, but once your total exceeds this number, you have completed training and have Master training with the selected equipment. Bear in mind most trainers must be paid for their work. These training days do not need to be consecutive and can be part of downtime during travel or other light activity, provided there is room to practice and a teacher present.

Training Levels are Important!

Each character now has three levels of training with all equipment; Untrained, Basic, and Master.

With each level of training, the character gains more abilities, higher damage, and greater flexibility with the equipment presented here.

Martial Interactions

There are a few tweaks and adjustments to the core rules of 5e to accommodate the Revised Martial Equipment system presented here, as well as some important things to note about the RME system itself while using it.

Weapon DC

When your enemy must make a saving throw to avoid the conditions given by weapon properties, it is against your weapon DC, which is calculated with the following equation:

---

Weapon DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier + any magical weapon enhancement.

---

You can substitute Strength in this equation with Dexterity if the weapon has the Finesse property. You can also substitute Strength for another ability used for a melee weapon attack as part of a class ability, such as Hexblade Warlock using Charisma instead of Strength.

Any other effect, such as the modifier used to damage on a Disarm, Entangle, or Trip attempt is only ever Strength and cannot be substituted.

---

Weapon DC for crossbows or firearms is calculated using the bonus damage they receive in place of Strength. If the crossbow or firearm has no bonus damage, you only add your proficiency to the weapon DC equation.

Weapon Property Usage

When you wish to use a property from a weapon, the only requirement is you are making a weapon attack with that weapon. This can be any weapon attack; an Attack action, off-hand attack, opportunity attack, even a weapon attack made as part of casting a spell.

Each weapon property with a saving throw must be announced before the attack is made. A player cannot wait to know if they hit before they say they are using a Trip with the attack. Instead, the player must declare they are making a Trip attack and proceed as directed in the property's listing.

If you score a critical hit with an attack using a weapon property, roll your weapon's damage, adding any bonus damage from attachers, features and modifiers as normal, in addition to forcing your enemy to roll the saving throw, but do not maximize weapon damage because of the critical hit.

Damage Choices

Some weapons list two or three types of damage in their properties. These weapons are capable of different types of attacks that deal different types of damage; for example, a sword swing deals slashing damage, while a sword thrust deals piercing, but a spiked mace swing deals both bludgeoning and piercing damage.

If a weapon's damage types are separated by "or", as in piercing or slashing damage, the player must choose which type of damage they are using before the attack is made. However, if the damage types are separated by "and", as in bludgeoning and piercing damage, this weapon deals both types of damage, using whichever type will damage the enemy the most, but has no effect on the total damage dealt.

RME Master Feats and Perks

When you take a group master feat, you gain master training with four pieces of equipment of your choosing in that group, and keep your current training level with all other equipment in that group. When you have master training with any piece of equipment, either by the feat or some other means, you have access to that equipment's master perk.

---

All master feats apply to that group only. For example, if you have taken Combat Blade Master, which grants you advantage on opportunity attacks, you only have this advantage when using a Combat Blade to make the opportunity attack.

---

All master perks apply to that weapon only. For example, if you have master training with the Battleaxe, which grants you rerolls on damage if you roll a 1 or 2, you cannot wield a battleaxe and reroll all damage rolls from other weapons. The damage rerolls only apply to the battleaxe and its attachers only.

Damage Types

Additionally, each damage type now has a specific ability associated with it. These abilities cannot be used if your weapon has the Awkward property at your current level of training.

• Bludgeoning: When you hit a creature with an attack that deals bludgeoning damage, you can spend 10 ft of your movement to move it 5 ft. in any direction of your choice, except vertically, provided the target is no more than one size larger than you.
• Piercing: When your target has 15 AC or higher, you gain +1 to the attack dealing piercing damage if you wield your weapon with one hand and +2 to the attack if you wield your weapon weapon with two hands.
• Slashing: When you reduce a target to 0 hit points with slashing damage, any remaining damage left over after the attack can be applied to any target of your choice within your reach and 5ft of the original target, as long as the original attack roll would hit the new target.

Martial Changes

Please read the following sections carefully, as these balance changes to 5e core rules have been made very carefully with RME weapon interactions in mind.

Multiple target attacks

Some weapons in this system allow you to make one attack against more than one target, for example the fire lance which sprays fire in a 15 ft cone. When this happens, you roll one attack and compare it to all available target ACs, and choose one target to add your ability modifier in damage only. Any attachers such as sneak attack or smite are only applied to that target as well.

Two Weapon Fighting

When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon in one hand, you can make one extra attack as part of the same action. That extra attack must be made with a different Light weapon in the other hand, and you don’t add your ability modifier to the extra attack’s damage. You can make this extra attack only once on each of your turns.

Drawing or Stowing Weapons

You can draw any weapon for free. Stowing a weapon requires an Object Interaction on your turn. This allows you to switch weapons in combat while still limiting your weapon swapping to a reasonable amount. Remember that you can always drop a weapon for free, though that weapon is now on the ground for anyone to pick up.

Flanking

Flanking an enemy adds +2 to attack rolls when two creatures flank an enemy, and +5 if three or more creatures flank an enemy. You can only flank a creature up to two size categories bigger than you. You can always flank creatures smaller than you. If you are being flanked, you cannot contribute to flanking another creature.

To determine flanking, draw a line from the center of your controlled space to the center of the controlled space of an enemy of your target within your weapon's range. If your line intersects the controlled space of your target, you are considered flanking. If you and two other creatures can draw a triangle where all three sides intersect the controlled space of your target, all three of you flank the target. This will naturally mean it is generally only possible to get a three-way flank with creatures larger than you.

Critical Hit Damage

When you score a critical hit with a weapon attack, maximize your weapon's damage dice, add your ability modifier, then roll your weapon damage dice again. This prevents your critical hit from dealing less damage than a normal hit. Note that this does not apply to spell attacks or any attachers to your weapon's damage.

Attacking While Grappled

When you make an attack against a creature that you are grappling or that you are grappled by, you suffer disadvantage if you make the attack with a Heavy or Two-Handed weapon. This has the added benefit of making Versatile weapons more versatile, as you can always take one hand off or put it back on the Versatile weapon.

Sneak Attacks with Ranged Weapons

RME makes some distinction between ranged attacks with Ranged weapons or Thrown weapons. Thrown and Launch weapons allow you to use Strength or Dexterity in the attack and damage roll. Only allow a sneak attack to be made with a weapon that uses Dexterity for the attack and damage roll, and only allow Thrown weapons to be used for sneak attack if it has the Finesse property.

Definitions

• Attacher - Any damage which is not built into a normal weapon that is dealt on hits, such as Sneak attack, Smite, Elemental bonus damage, etc. Additionally, any weapon which attacks multiple targets with one attack can only apply the attacher to one target of your choosing, unless it states otherwise.

• Equipment - Any items listed in this brew. Armor, shields, and weapons are equipment. Equipment refers to a single item, while an equipment group refers to an entire category.

• Equipped - Items are equipped when they are held with as many hands as is required to use it properly. Some items are worn, such as hidden blades or interceptors, but to use them, they must be equipped. Unequipping an item usually refers to stowing it, which uses your Object Interaction, but anything can be unequipped by dropping it for free. Any equipment properties or master perks that require reactions cannot be used unless it is equipped at the end of your turn.

• Martial/Simple Weapon - There are no "simple" or "martial" weapons in RME, only training levels. However, some mechanics and prerequisites reference martial or simple weapons. For the purpose of those requirements, any weapon which has the Awkward property at the untrained level is considered a martial weapon. Weapons without this property at Untrained are simple weapons.

• Mighty/Powerful Blow - A particularly devastating strike that grants additional benefits depending on certain weapon properties or master perks. A mighty blow is when your attack roll is at least 5 higher than the target's AC, while a powerful blow is when your attack roll is at least 10 higher than the target's AC. A powerful blow supersedes a mighty blow.

• Off-Hand - This is the hand which is wielding the second weapon while dual wielding. A weapon attack from one hand, (it doesn't matter if it's right or left) is the main attack of an Attack action, while the off-hand attack is the additional attack gained through dual wielding or using a Double-Ended weapon. You can only make one off-hand attack during your turn, unless a perk or ability says otherwise.

• Weapon AC - This is a bonus to your AC that is in addition to your armor and shield AC, as well as any magic or spell bonus. Your weapon AC bonus is the highest bonus you are currently given from your weapons, e.g. a +2 weapon AC bonus replaces a +1 bonus. Weapon AC only applies to melee attacks. Ranged attacks ignore any Weapon AC.

Feat and Skill Changes

The following changes must be made to 5e feat and skill choices for RME to balance properly:

• The following feats are disallowed: Blade Master, Fell Handed, Flail Mastery, Gunner, Heavy Armor Master, Medium Armor Master, Polearm Master, Shield Master, Spear Mastery and Warhammer Master

• At DM discretion, you can substitute a tool or skill proficiency (not a gaming set or musical instrument) for an increase in training for one piece of equipment.

Dual Wielder

• You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate weapon in each hand.
• When you are dual wielding, neither weapon in either hand is required to have the Light property.
• You can stow two One-Handed weapons with a single Object Interaction.

Skill Expert

• Increase one ability score of your choice by 1, to a maximum of 20
• You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice, or increase training with one equipment from untrained to basic.
• Choose one skill in which you have proficiency. You gain expertise with that skill, which means your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make with it. The skill you choose must be one that isn't already benefiting from a feature, such as Expertise, that doubles your proficiency bonus. Instead of this choice, you can choose one equipment you have basic training, even equipment you gained basic training with this feat, and increase that training to master.

Grappler

• You have advantage on attack rolls against a creature you are grappling.
• You can use your action to try to pin a creature grappled by you. To do so, make another grapple check. If you succeed, the creature is restrained until the grapple ends.
• Your training in Unarmed Strike is increased by one step, and your Unarmed Strike gains the Disarm, Entangle, and Trip properties.

Tavern Brawler

• Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You are proficient with improvised weapons.
• Your training in Unarmed Strike is increased by one step, and your Unarmed Strike gains the Disarm, Entangle, and Trip properties.
• When you hit a creature with an Unarmed Strike or an improvised weapon on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the target.

Skilled

• You gain proficiency in any combination of three skills, tools, or equipment of your choice. If you choose equipment, you increase that equipment training by one step.

Weapon Master

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You increase the training level of any 4 weapons of your choice to master training.

Weapon Properties

Affixed

Affixed weapons are donned or doffed like clothing as an action and cannot be disarmed. While worn, it can be equipped or unequipped for free during your turn, and while not equipped, it remains attached to your body, leaving that hand open for other things. You may dual wield with an Affixed weapon, and while doing so, neither weapon needs the Light property.

Awkward

This weapon requires Basic training to use properly, but you still get limited use with it. You do not add your proficiency bonus while rolling an attack with this weapon.

Balanced

When this weapon rolls a 1 on any of its damage dice, you can reroll that dice but must use the new result. If you wield this weapon with two hands, you can reroll the damage dice if it is a 1 or a 2.

Barbed

When this weapon is entangling your enemy, and the enemy leaves your grapple for any reason, that enemy takes damage. Roll your weapon's damage dice alone and deal this damage to your enemy.

Brace

On your turn, you can use a bonus action to begin bracing. Choose any targets you can see that are at least 20 feet away from you. If any of those targets enter your reach before your next turn, as a reaction you can attack that target with this weapon with advantage. If the attack hits, it is treated as a critical hit and the creature's speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. You are no longer bracing if you use a reaction, are prevented from using reactions, or move from the position you began bracing.

Clockwork

This weapon has internal mechanisms which assist in its use. After it is used, a Clockwork item must be repaired using Tinker's tools for at least 10 minutes, which can be part of a short rest. If not repaired, starting at the beginning of each day, the weapon suffers a cumulative -1 to their weapon DC and attack rolls. Repairing the weapon will remove this penalty in its entirety.

Any clockwork weapon can use Intelligence for the weapon DC equation, though they still use Strength or Dexterity for attack and damage. Additionally, they can use Intelligence or Strength when a property allows for an ability modifier damage alongside a saving throw.

Conceal

At the start of combat, any weapon with this property is considered concealed if it is not equipped. If you attack with a concealed weapon, you can roll a Sleight of Hand check against the target's passive Perception score. On success, your attack gains advantage, and the enemy is treated as if surprised for this attack.

Once you use this property, you cannot benefit from it again for any creature which observed you using the property, until you successfully hide. A creature can roll a Perception check against your passive Sleight of Hand score, and if successful, they spot your concealed weapons, removing any benefit from this property for the duration of the encounter or until you successfully hide again.

Deflect

When struck by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to deflect some damage you would receive. If wielding one Deflect weapon, you can roll your weapon's damage, add your Strength modifier, or Dexterity modifier if your weapon has the Finesse property, then subtract that total from the damage you would receive from a source you can see. If you are wielding a Deflect weapon with two hands, you can add your Strength modifier twice to this total, or add your Strength in addition to your Dexterity modifier if your weapon has the Finesse property. If you are wielding two Deflect weapons, you can roll both weapons Deflect rolls and take the highest result or you can choose to deflect another attack using your off-hand weapon, as part of the same reaction. You do not add your modifier to the off-hand Deflect roll unless you have the Two-Weapon Fighting Style.

Deflect does not interact with any other weapon property, such as Balanced, Keen, or Puncture; you simply roll your weapon's damage dice normally.

Disarm

When you hit with a Disarm attack, you deal damage equal to your Strength modifier, minimum of 1, and force your enemy to roll its choice of a Strength or Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it drops one held object of your choice, landing within 5ft of it in a direction of your choosing. If you have a free hand, you can come into possession of the disarmed object.

If your target is one category size larger than you or using a two-handed weapon, it gains advantage on this save, while enemies two size categories larger than you are immune to this attack from you. If it is smaller than you, it suffers disadvantage.

Double Ended

When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Double Ended weapon, you can also make an off-hand attack. You must be within 5ft of your target, but you add your Ability Modifier to the off-hand attack damage.

Entangle

When you hit with an Entangle attack, you deal only your Strength modifier in damage, minimum of 1, and force the enemy to succeed on its choice of a Strength or Dexterity saving throw or be grappled by you. To escape, the creature must succeed a grapple check against your weapon DC, gaining advantage if it is one size category larger than you. Creatures two size categories larger than you are immune to Entangle attacks from you.

While you are holding the weapon entangling your target, your weapon attacks against it automatically hit, but only deal damage equal to your Strength modifier, minimum 1. You cannot use your weapon for any other purpose while it is entangling. You can release an entangled enemy at any time. If you drop the weapon, the creature is immediately free.

Some ranged weapons have the Entangle property. These weapons Entangle your target at range and do not require you to be holding the weapon to continue the grappled condition. Because of this, a target must always succeed a grapple check against your weapon DC to escape from a ranged weapon's Entangle property.

Finesse

When making an attack with a Finesse weapon, you can use your Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls, and use Dexterity instead of Strength for your weapon DC.

Firearm

Rolling a 1 on an attack roll causes this weapon to jam. It's still loaded, but a malfunction prevented ignition. As an action, you must clear the jam before it can make a ranged attack again. Firearm weapons can't make ranged attacks underwater, and if they are subjected to water such as from rain or a tidal wave spell, they gain +1 to their misfire range until you spend an action to dry them. All Firearms create a sound which can be heard hundreds of feet away.

Heavy

Category size Small creatures suffer disadvantage to attack rolls and Tiny and smaller cannot wield this weapon.

Hipshot

This ranged weapon is extremely nimble and maneuverable. When you make a ranged weapon attack, you ignore the disadvantage from a hostile creature within 5ft of you.

Keen

This weapon is extraordinarily sharp or devastatingly accurate. When you score a critical hit or a powerful blow with this weapon, add an additional damage die to the weapon damage dice and any attachers rolled. The added damage die is not doubled from a critical hit.

Knockback

When you hit with a Knockback attack, you deal only your Strength modifier in damage, minimum of 1, and your enemy must succeed on its choice of a Strength or Dexterity saving throw or be pushed 5 feet in a direction of your choosing. Creatures one size category larger than you gain advantage on this save. Creatures two sizes larger than you are immune to being pushed this way.

Light

In order to dual wield two weapons, both weapons you wield must have this property. You can make an attack with your off-hand weapon as part of your Attack action, but don't add any ability modifier to damage. There is no requirement that your off-hand weapon be melee in order to dual wield.

Lunge

If you use an Attack action, you can use 5ft of movement to attack a foe up to 5ft further than normal, but without leaving the square you occupy. Each attack which uses this property costs 5ft of movement. You cannot Lunge if a creature or obstacle is between you and your target.

Melee

Melee weapons make a melee weapon attack at a target up to 5 feet away, and add Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls.

Natural

A Natural weapon is one which is part of a creature's anatomy, such as teeth and claws. To have a Natural weapon, you must either become a creature for which a Natural weapon is listed in its stat block, or have a racial ability which allows you to make an attack using claws, teeth, etc in place of an unarmed attack. Natural weapons cannot be removed, disarmed, or broken in any way and are always equipped. Natural weapon damage is not affected by RME, and you should use the damage listed.

Nimble

When you make an attack against a creature that you are grappling or that you are grappled by, or while prone, you gain advantage on the attack. Additionally, you don't suffer disadvantage to attack rolls when you attack with this weapon while squeezing.

One-Handed

This weapon requires only one hand to wield properly. It cannot be wielded with two hands.

Punch

This weapon is designed to penetrate through armor through sheer mass or reinforced point. Before your attack, you can choose to forgo your proficiency bonus to attack, and if you hit, you add twice your proficiency bonus to damage.

Puncture

These piercing weapons deal significantly more damage if they hit a vital weak spot in the enemy. When you roll a maximum value with any of your weapon's piercing damage dice, you can roll that dice again and add the result to the total damage dealt. This can keep happening as many times as you roll maximum values on damage dice, even on the new rolls. New dice generated by the Puncture property are not affected by any other property except Puncture itself.

Ranged

Ranged weapons make a ranged weapon attack using Dexterity for attack and damage rolls. It must be loaded with ammunition to make an attack. The ranged numbers list its normal and maximum range. When attacking enemies beyond the normal range or with an enemy within 5ft of you, you suffer disadvantage for that attack. A ranged weapon cannot attack targets beyond its maximum range.

Reach

This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you make a melee weapon attack, as well as for determining your reach for opportunity attacks with it. Note that if there is a creature between you and your target within reach, your target has half cover. Reach cannot be used to extend the range of a Double Ended attack.

Reload

Some ranged weapons take a time to reload, expressed in types of game actions. These game actions represent the time it takes to reset a weapon and prime it for another attack. From fastest to slowest, these are; free, object interaction, reaction, bonus, attack, action.

• Reload weapons require two hands to Reload unless otherwise stated.

• Reloading attack means you use an Attack action and one of your main hand attacks is used to Reload. If you have 2 attacks, you attack once, use your second attack to Reload. If you do not wish to attack, then reloading your weapon takes an action.

• Reload free has no action economy cost and reloads as quickly as a bow.

• You must always Reload your weapon before using it for a ranged weapon attack again. If your weapon is empty at the end of your turn, it must be reloaded before you can use it again.

• Anything which grants an action or special set of extra actions, such as the haste spell or Action Surge, can be used to Reload. Furthermore, anything which grants a use object action as a bonus action, such as Rogue Thief's Fast Hands, can shorten Reload to a bonus action.

• You have the choice of reloading your weapon with any of the options that are slower. For example, a crossbow master using a light crossbow is able to Reload using an object interaction, but can Reload with a reaction, a bonus action, an attack, or an action.

Riposte

A weapon particularly good at protecting the wielder, and light enough to take advantage of a good deflection. With a Riposte weapon equipped, if an enemy misses you with an attack or you reduce an enemy attack's damage to 0 by any means, your next weapon attack gains advantage.

Sighted

This ranged weapon has sights designed to aid the wielder with precise aiming. At the start of your turn, you can spend 20 ft. of movement. If you do so, you can roll this weapon's damage twice and take the highest value for all attacks during that turn. You cannot use this property if your speed has been reduced to 0.

Slip

This weapon is designed to slip into gaps of armor or natural protection such as bones or scales. When you have advantage, this weapon gains an additional damage die.

Stagger

The weight of your weapon can stagger the enemy's defense, knocking them off balance. When you miss a creature that you can see without rolling a 1, but the total is less than the target's AC up to an amount equal to your Strength modifier if your weapon is wielded with two hands, or half your Strength modifier if you wield a the weapon with one hand, the next attack against this creature before the start of its next turn gains advantage. If your Strength modifier is 0 or less, the minimum for both of these is 1.

When you hit, you can deal only your Strength modifier in damage, minimum of 1, and impart this effect voluntarily. When you score a critical hit you always Stagger your enemy. You cannot Stagger targets two sizes larger than you. A ranged weapon with the Stagger property, substitutes Dexterity for Strength in this case.

Steady

This weapon is designed to allow its wielder to shoot on the move. When you use a dash or disengage action, you can use your bonus action to make one ranged attack with this weapon if equipped and loaded.

Sunder

This weapon is designed to tear at armor and flesh, rendering even dragonhide less effective. When you hit with a Sunder attack, you deal damage equal to your Strength modifier, minimum of 1, and force your enemy to roll its choice of a Strength or Dexterity saving throw plus any magical bonus to AC it can have. If it fails, you reduce the target's AC by 1 if you wield your weapon with one hand, and by 2 if you wield it with two hands. Sunder cannot reduce the AC bonus provided by spells or magic items.

Thrown

This weapon can make a ranged weapon attack by throwing it at the enemy, dealing their melee damage unless a different damage value is listed after the Thrown weapon property. They use Strength for attack and damage, unless the weapon has the Finesse property. You can draw and throw a weapon as part of the attack.

Trip

When you hit with a Trip attack, you deal only your Strength modifier in damage on hit, minimum of 1, and your enemy must succeed on its choice of a Strength or Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone. Enemies one size category larger than you gain advantage on this save. Enemies two size categories larger than you are immune to this attack from you.

Two-Handed

This weapon requires two hands to use when you attack with it. While wielding a two-handed melee weapon, you add half of your Strength modifier to the damage roll in addition to the normal ability modifier for that weapon.

Versatile

This weapon can be used with one or two hands and you can switch between them at any time. While wielding this weapon with two hands, you add half of your Strength modifier to the damage roll in addition to the normal ability modifier for that weapon.

Wound

This weapon is particularly vicious or wounding. When you score a mighty blow, the target creature gains a wound. At the start of that creature's turn, it loses hit points equal to the roll of one of your weapon's damage dice. At the end of each of its turns, the creature makes a Constitution saving throw, losing the wound on a success. A creature also loses this wound if it regains any hit points or if a creature uses a healer's kit to succeed on a Medicine check equal to your weapon DC.

Revised Fighting Styles

The fighting styles presented here are meant to mesh with the added weapon properties and improve their performance.

Archery

You are a skilled and focused marksman. You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons. All ranged weapons you wield gain the Steady property. Additionally, if you do not move during your turn, you can spend a bonus action to aim carefully, giving yourself advantage on your next attack. After you use this ability, your speed becomes 0 until the start of your next turn.

Blind Fighting

You have trained to fight an unseen enemy using your focus and senses other than sight. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn’t behind total cover, even if you’re blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

Close Quarters Shooter

You are trained in making quick and accurate ranged attacks in close quarters. All ranged weapons you wield gain the Hipshot property. If an enemy misses you with a melee attack, as a reaction, you can make a ranged weapon attack against that enemy. Finally, you ignore half and three-quarters cover when an enemy is within 30 feet of you.

Defense

You employ defensive martial techniques in close quarters, moving inside an attacker's guard. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. Additionally, when an enemy within 5ft of you is about to make a melee attack, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage. If an enemy misses when you use this ability, you can attempt a grapple or shove as part of the same reaction.

Dueling

You are trained in lethal dueling techniques. If you wield a weapon in one hand, you roll an extra damage die when you roll a Deflect roll and if you reduce your enemy's damage to 0, you can make an attack against that enemy as part of the same reaction. Additionally, any weapon you wield with the One-Handed property gains the Riposte weapon property.

Great Weapon Fighting

You are a warrior that makes the best use of full body techniques while fighting. While wielding a melee weapon with two hands, you can roll damage twice and take the higher result. As an action, you can make a single attack roll, targeting a number of enemies equal to your Strength modifier that are within reach.

Interception

You are vigilant and protective of your allies in combat. When an ally you can see is attacked by an enemy you can see or fails a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to move up to half your current speed toward your ally, as long as that movement would place you within 5ft of that ally. You can then take the damage, instead of your ally. If you are wielding a shield, you can reduce this damage by your proficiency bonus.

Mariner

Your time aboard ships as a marine has trained and conditioned you to be agile on ropes and in water, and this agility extends to your defense. As long as you are not wearing heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your normal speed, and you gain a +1 bonus to AC. While using an underwater weapon, enemies suffer disadvantage when attempting a saving throw against your weapon DC.

Protection

You are a trained guardian, protecting yourself and those around you from attack. When a creature you can see hits you or a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to force the enemy to reroll the attack. If you are wielding a shield, the enemy rerolls the attack with disadvantage. On your turn, as a bonus action, you can impose disadvantage on all attacks made against a creature of your choice within 5 ft, until the start of your next turn.

Superior Technique

You learn one maneuver of your choice from the Battle Master archetype. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw, the saving throw DC is your weapon DC.

You gain one superiority die, which is a d6 (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source and matches that dice size if it increases). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers and is expended when you use it. You regain the expended superiority die earned from this fighting style when you finish a short or long rest, you reduce a CR1 or greater enemy to 0 hit points, or if you roll a natural 20 on any attack roll during a combat encounter.

Thrown Weapon

You throw weapons with extreme accuracy. Ranged weapon attacks with the Thrown property ignore half and three-quarters cover, and these weapons gain the Steady weapon property. Additionally, you can forgo your proficiency bonus to attack, but if your attack lands, you deal extra damage equal to double your proficiency bonus.

Tunnel Warrior

You excel at fighting in tight spaces where movement is limited or impossible. Any weapon you wield gains the Nimble weapon property and you are never considered squeezing while in a space too small for your size. You can make an opportunity attack when an enemy enters or moves within your reach. On your turn, you can prepare your attacks, which costs your full movement speed, but grants a damage bonus to your weapon attacks equal to your Strength modifier, or Dexterity if the weapon has the Finesse property.

Two-Weapon

You are a balanced and ambidextrous warrior. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the off-hand attack, and if you have the Extra attack feature, you gain one extra off-hand attack which you make as part of your Attack action.

Unarmed

You are much more capable with your hands than any weapon. You gain master training in Unarmed Strikes. If you aren’t wielding any weapons or a shield when you make an attack roll, your unarmed strike damage dice is increased by one size, e.g. from a d6 to a d8. At the start of each of your turns, you can automatically deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you without using any action.

Spell and Ability Interactions

---

There are some magic spells which produce a weapon, or weapon-like quality that the caster can use offensively like a normal melee weapon. It is important to clearly detail how this system interacts with those spells, and to what extent these summoned effects benefit from weapon properties from Revised Martial Equipment. You have Basic training with any weapon you summon, which can stack with your own proficiencies to give you master training if appropriate.

Melee Weapon Spells

Flame Blade - This spell summons any Combat Blade or Dueling Blade with the One-Handed property that lacks Versatile or Deflect.

---

Shadow Blade - This spell summons any Combat Blade or Dueling Blade with the One-Handed property that lacks Versatile or Deflect.

---

Spiritual Weapon - This spell summons a floating spectral weapon which cannot be wielded. It gains no weapon properties, nor can it be attacked or used to attack even by the caster. It is essentially a vehicle for bonus action force damage.

---

Shillelagh - This spell can be used on any Bludgeon weapon, and its damage is d8 unless the weapon would normally have a better damage die, including for Double Ended.

---

Tenser's Transformation - This spell does all it says in its description. When you cast this spell, you choose a weapon, shield, or armor group and gain master training with all equipment in that group for the spell's duration. You do not gain the master feat for that group unless you already have it.

---

Mordenkainen's Sword - This spell summons a sword-shaped plane of force that can assume any Combat Blade or Dueling Blade's shape. However, this weapon cannot be wielded, and gains no weapon properties.

---

Ranged Weapon Spells

Swift Quiver - This spell can be used on any ammunition and any container for which ammunition is stored, such as a bullet pouch, bolt case, or spinner cartridge. The ammunition and container gain all the effects of the spell. However, the weapon for which the ammunition is used must still be reloaded, using the time as is appropriate for the training level you are at with that weapon.

---

Conjure Barrage - This spell can be used on any ammunition or weapon with the Thrown property. The weapons or ammunition that are conjured lose any weapon properties or master perks they have prior to the spell and deal only 3d8 damage of the type appropriate for the weapon.

---

Conjure Volley - This spell can be used on any ammunition or weapon with the Thrown property. The weapons or ammunition that are conjured lose any weapon properties or master perks they have prior to the spell, and the spell continues as normal for its description.

---

Cordon of Arrows - This spell can be used on any ammunition or weapon with the Thrown property. The weapon loses any weapon properties it has, and deals only 1d6 damage of the type appropriate for the weapon.

Other

Artificer Infusion: Returning Weapon - This Infusion can be used on any weapon with the Thrown property.

---

Artificer Infusion: Repeating Shot - This Infusion can be used on any weapon with the Reload property. When you Reload this weapon, reduce its Reload time by one step, e.g. if a weapon with your current training has Reload as a bonus action, you can Reload as a reaction.

Armor

---

Untrained with armor represents wearing the armor for basic protection but not knowing how to wear it properly. You have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can't cast spells while wearing armor for which you are untrained.

Basic Training with armor means you know how to wear it properly, how to move with its articulations, and how to correct the fit. This is akin to normal proficiency.

Master Training with armor represents wearing armor so effortlessly, you become accustomed to its encumbrance. With light and medium armor, worn armor does not add to your encumbrance, and with heavy armor, you only count half the weight. Additionally, master training with armor allows you to don/doff it in half the time it normally takes, and if these times require any action, you can do so for free.

All armor can be doffed as an action if you cut the straps and destroy your armor

Light Armor

You add your Dexterity modifier to AC while wearing light armor.

---

Padded Thick padding made of quilted fabrics or furs, this armor’s slight protection from incidental contact but restricts the wearer's movement. You can don this armor with an object interaction and can doff it for free.

---

Leather Moderately thin, unhardened utility leather that offers slight protection but is cheap and flexible. You can don this armor with an object interaction and can doff it for free.

---

Studded Leather Thick, hard leather hide that has been reinforced with metal or scales. The increased time and material to stud the leather adds to the manufacturing cost. You can don this armor with an action, or a bonus action if you have help. You can doff it with a bonus action.

---

Lacquered Leather This leather has been boiled in wax or water and painted with lacquer to toughen it as hard as wood. It offers superior protection to other light armors for a premium, but the hard plates create more noise than softer armors. You can don this armor in 5 minutes, or 1 minute if you have help. You can doff it in 1 minute, or an action with help.

Feat: Light Armor Master

You are able to use your armor's protection to deflect blows that would have only barely hit you. You gain these advantages while you are wearing light armor.

• Permanently increase Dexterity score by 1 to a maximum of 20.

• If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to instead take no damage if you succeed on the save. You still take full damage if you fail.

• All opportunity attacks against you suffer disadvantage.

Variant Weight

Your DM can elect all armor and shields for small creatures weigh three-quarters the amount presented here, and for armor and shields for large creatures four times the amount.

Medium armor

You add your Dexterity modifier, up to +2, to your AC while wearing medium armor.

---

Chain Shirt This simple shirt of mail is easy to produce as the rings aren't welded closed. A chain shirt covers less than a hauberk but is lighter and more affordable. You can don this armor with an object interaction and can doff it for free.

---

Ring Mail A pattern of closed rings stitched to a thick leather coat. This armor's combined protection of the leather backing and metal rings offers greater protection than either one separately. You can don this armor with an object interaction and can doff it for free.

---

Breastplate Wearing just the breastplate of a suit of plate armor, this armor provides easier mobility and more protection than the chain shirt or ring mail. However, plate is expensive to make and thus has a greatly increased cost. You can don this armor with an action, or a bonus action with help, and can doff it with a bonus action.

---

Banded Mail The quintessential half-plate, also known as lorica, this armor is a series of metal ribbons banded together to form complete protection. Banded mail is cheaper to produce than full plate, but is still quite a process. You can don this armor in 10 minutes, or 5 with help, and can doff it with 1 minute or an action with help.

Feat: Medium Armor Master

Combining the mobility of light armor and the protection of heavy armor, your skirmishing is unmatched and you gain the following advantages while wearing medium armor.

• Permanently increase Dexterity or Strength score by 1 to a maximum of 20

• Wearing medium armor doesn't impose disadvantage on your Stealth checks

• In response to a critical hit, as a reaction you can attempt your choice of Dexterity or Strength saving throw against a DC of 10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher. On success, you are resistant to all damage for that attack.

Heavy

All heavy armor requires a Strength score of 13 to wear, or you wear it at Untrained training level. You do not add your Dexterity modifier to AC when wearing heavy armor.

---

Hauberk A full coat and hood of chainmail made with riveted or welded rings in a tight weave. You can don this armor in 1 minute or an action with help, and doff it with an action.

---

Scale A series of scales attached to a padded coat, this armor can be quite noisy but the overlapping scales offer better protection than rings. You can don this armor in 1 minute or an action with help, and doff it with an action.

---

Splint Instead of plates shaped to fit, a series of small “splints” of metal are tied together to form a coat. It is cheaper to produce but is not as durable. You can don splint in 5 minutes, 1 if you have help. Doffing takes 1 minute, or an action if you have help.

---

Plate Plate is extremely difficult and costly to produce, however, no other armor is more protective. All parts of the body are covered, even the wearer's joints. You can don it in 10 minutes, 5 minutes if you have help. Doffing takes 5 minutes, 1 minute if you have help.

Feat: Heavy Armor Master

You are so adept at using the thick padding and plates of your armor that you absorb damage that would kill a more lightly armored combatant. You gain the following advantages while you are wearing heavy armor.

• Permanently increase Strength score by 1 to a maximum of 20

• All bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage you receive from non-magical sources is reduced by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus. If your armor is magical, you can apply this reduction to magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

• When an attacker that you can see deals non-magical bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage to you, you can use your reaction to take only half that damage against you. If your armor is magical, you can take half damage from magical sources of the same damage types.

Shields

---

Whether a target or tower, shields come in all shapes and sizes from kites to circles to teardrops to coffins. There are obvious benefits to the size and shape of your shield, and masters learn offensive use of their shield and can even protect themselves from dragon's breath.

Equipping a shield

Donning a shield describes moving it from your back or a sling to be strapped to your arm or held in hand. A shield strapped on cannot be disarmed, while a shield held in the hand can be disarmed. In order to use two hands for some task while a shield is strapped to your arm, it will need to be removed, while a shield held in hand can be set down and picked back up with an object interaction. A shield on your back provides no benefit and is simply a piece of garb, unless stated otherwise.

---

This table describes any Strength requirement, any Stealth penalty, and the action economy required to equip your shield. As well, it describes any limit to your AC placed on your Dexterity modifier, similar to medium armor.

Shield	Strength	Stealth	Dex Limit	Don (strapped)	Don (held)
Arm Guard	N/A	Normal	None	N/A	Object Interaction
Buckler	N/A	Normal	None	N/A	Object Interaction
Diskarmor	N/A	Normal	None	N/A	Bonus action
Kite	13	Disadvantage	+2	Action	Action
Pavise	13	Disadvantage	+2	N/A	N/A
Skirmish	N/A	Normal	None	Action	Bonus action
Spiked	N/A	Disadvantage	None	Action	Bonus action
Tower	13	Disadvantage	No Dex Mod	Action	Action

Feat: Shield Master

• Choose 4 shields to gain master training when you take this feat.
• If you take an Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action on the same turn to perform a shove with your shield.
• If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
• If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the save, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.

Training with Shields

If you are Untrained with shields, while wielding one you suffer disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws that rely on Strength or Dexterity, and you can’t cast spells.

Skirmish

+2 AC, 6 lbs, 10 gp

Skirmish shields come in a variety of shapes but are about the size of the user's torso. A Skirmish shield is large enough to provide better passive protection than the buckler, while still providing the agility missing with a tower shield. The master can extend this agility to even spell attacks and can offensively use the edge of their shield.

Basic	You gain an additional +2AC bonus against ranged weapon attacks, adding +4AC in total.
Master	You gain an additional +2AC bonus against ranged spell attacks, adding +4 in total, and a successful shove deals d4 + Strength modifier in bludgeoning damage.

Arm Guard

+1 AC, 1 lb, 10 gp

A fully enclosed arm shield that often had a sword built into its construction to make a gauntlet sword called a pata. Without an attached weapon, the hand which has an arm guard equipped can be used to help wield a weapon or assist with Reload, but cannot be used to wield a weapon by itself; in this case it must be attached to the arm guard. The master has perfected this fighting style.

Basic	You can attach a Light weapon to an arm guard using smith's tools over the course of 8 hours of work. The weapon gains the Affixed property but can't be removed from the shield without smith's tools When removed, the weapon is destroyed. Attack rolls made with any arm guard hand suffer a -1 penalty.
Master	You no longer suffer an attack penalty, you cannot be disarmed, and you can don the arm guard for free.

Buckler

+1 AC, 2 lbs, 5 gp

A buckler, or target, is a hand shield used by duelists and fencers for its small profile and ease of counter attacks while deflecting. The master's trained duelist techniques set them up for the perfect riposte.

Basic	The buckler has Finesse and Deflect (d8)
Master	You can add the Deflect roll from the buckler to any Deflect roll you make with your main hand, and if this roll reduces incoming damage to 0, you can make an attack against the triggering creature as part of the same reaction.

Diskarmor

+2 AC, 8 lbs, 50 gp

An esoteric weapon of gnomish invention, a diskarmor is a round shield attached to a chain mechanism that retracts quickly after the chain reaches its length to make essentially a shield yo-yo. The user can toss it out to wield it like a large flail, then retract it to be used as a shield again.

Diskarmor is a shield which has the following properties: One-Handed, Reach, Melee d6, Clockwork, Entangle, Trip. Diskarmor deals bludgeoning damage. A diskarmor is not considered a weapon.

Basic	You can replace any of your attacks with an attack using the Diskarmor. This attack does not benefit from your ability modifier to damage unless you have the Two-Weapon Fighting Style.
Master	When your ally within 10ft is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to confer your shield AC bonus from this shield to them until the end of your next turn, possibly negating an attack.

Kite

+3 AC, 10 lbs, 50 gp

Kite shields are as wide as the wielder's torso but extend downward with a point or oval extension to protect the legs, which can also be used offensively to knock an enemy off guard. While wielding a Kite, you only add a maximum of +2 to your AC from your Dexterity modifier.

Basic	You gain advantage on any saving throw or ability check made to resist being knocked prone or moved along the ground.
Master	When you win an Athletics contest against an enemy within 5ft, you can Stagger your enemy in addition to winning the contest.

Pavise

+1 AC, 15 lbs, 35 gp

A pavise is a lighter tower shield with a central spike to drive into the ground, or a set of legs to allow the shield to stand freely. While deployed, you can use it as cover. Unfortunately it is unwieldable as a normal shield, only able to be worn on the back. While wearing it, you are unable to equip any other shield, and only add a maximum of +2 from your Dexterity modifier to your AC, as its size is ungainly and cumbersome.

While deployed, a Pavise can be knocked down if the enemy succeeds on an Athletics Check against your weapon DC. As a bonus action you can pick up a pavise and either deploy it again or don it on your back.

Basic	While worn, you gain +1 AC and negate any flanking bonus any enemy might have on you. As a bonus action, you can deploy the shield to solid ground, which takes up a 5 ft square space. While the shield is between you and any enemy, you gain the benefits of half cover.
Master	While the shield is between you and any enemy, you gain the benefits of three-quarters cover. Additionally, an enemy has disadvantage on any roll made to knock your shield down while you use it as cover.

Spiked

+2 AC, 8 lbs, 20 gp

A spiked shield is a blanket term for all weaponized shields, with spikes on the face and either a spiked or bladed edge. Somewhat cumbersome compared to a skirmish shield with the added weaponization, a spiked shield is hard to be stealthy and agile with.

Spiked shield is a shield which has the following properties: One-Handed, Melee d6, Brace, Puncture, Thrown (20/60). Spiked shield deals piercing or slashing damage. A spiked shield is not considered a weapon.

Basic	You can replace any of your attacks with an attack using the Spiked shield. This attack does not benefit from your ability modifier to damage unless you have the Two-Weapon Fighting Style.
Master	You are so effective at using the dangerous points or blades of your shield that all enemies suffer disadvantage to Athletics checks against you, and a successful shove deals d4 + Strength modifier in piercing or slashing damage.

Tower

+3 AC, 20 lbs, 50 gp

This massive shield is as tall as you and just as wide; you more fight around it like a door as a piece of mobile cover. The master shieldman can take cover at a moment's notice, effectively giving the enemy no target. While wielding a tower shield, you cannot add your Dexterity modifier to your AC.

Basic	You negate any flanking bonus an enemy might have on you. Additionally, when you are hit with an attack or are forced to roll a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to gain half cover, possibly negating the attack or granting you a bonus to your Dexterity saving throw before you roll. This half cover lasts only for the effect that triggered your reaction.
Master	While using the shield as cover, if you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw, and you fail that save, you take only half damage.

Ambush Weapons

---

These weapons are not designed for battle, rather for close quarters or surprise attacks. They are easily hidden or disguised, and in the right hands can end a fight before it's even started. Ambush masters have learned to strike more critically, taking full advantage of a surprise attack, and can strike fast enough to turn an enemy's miss into an opening.

Feat: Ambush Weapons Master

• Choose 4 ambush weapons to gain master training when you take this feat.
• +1 Initiative rolls when holding an ambush weapon.
• A successful hit to a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.
• You can use your reaction to make a single attack against a creature that has missed you with a melee attack, provided you can see it.

---

Cane Sword

Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing, 3 lbs, 35 gp

A rapier hidden within a walking aid. It can be used both within its sheath as a bludgeon, or drawn to dual wield the sheath with the blade. The sheath becomes a light club like this. While sheathed, you can use Deception instead of Sleight of Hand for Conceal. A master has perfected turning the sheath into a deadly aid to the blade itself.

Untrained	Awkward, One-Handed, Finesse, Melee d6, Entangle, Trip
Basic	One-Handed, Finesse, Melee d6, Conceal, Entangle, Puncture, Riposte, Trip
Master	One-Handed, Finesse, Light, Melee d8, Conceal, Entangle, Puncture, Riposte, Trip
Master Perk	While dual wielding the cane and sword, the cane gains Deflect d8, and if you hit with an attack with the cane you can deal only your Dexterity modifier in damage, minimum 1, and give yourself advantage on your next attack.

Compass Blade

Piercing or Slashing, 1.5 lbs, 100 gp

A wheel blade held by the center, that when a
trigger is pressed, four blades deploy in a cross
shape. When not deployed, this weapon has the
Nimble property. When deployed, it loses Nimble
but gains Deflect. Deploying the blades from the
wheel takes an object interaction. The master can
effectively use all four blades in a single strike.

Untrained	Awkward, One-Handed, Finesse, Melee d4, Thrown (40/60), Clockwork, Wound
Basic	One-Handed, Finesse, Melee 2d4, Thrown (40/60), Clockwork, Keen, Wound
Master	One-Handed, Finesse, Melee 2d4, Thrown (60/60), Clockwork, Double Ended 2d4, Keen, Wound
Master Perk	When you deploy the blades, your Double Ended attack on your turn gains advantage.

Gauntlet

Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing, 1 lb, 3 gp

Axes

---

Axes easily chop through targets using weight instead of a honed edge and an axe beard in the hands of a trained combatant can be used to trip and bind, even disarm. Axe masters carry the weight of the head through soft targets and into others and can fell even the stoutest foes with a woodcutter's swing.

Feat: Axe Master

• Choose 4 axes to gain master training when you take this feat.
• +1 to Athletics checks when holding an axe weapon.
• You count as one size category larger for the purpose of Trip or Disarm.

Any cleaver type axe with a wide blade mounted to
a pole at two or more different points, including more historical versions such as the bardiche, voulge, or epsilon.

Bludgeons

---

Bludgeons are simple weapons that rely on pure weight over control. However, they have additional uses in stunning, disabling and fatiguing the enemy with repeated and precise blows to the head or body. A master with these brutish weapons more deftly causes stuns and exhaustion.

Feat: Bludgeon Master

• Choose 4 bludgeons to gain master training when you take this feat.
• +1 to damage rolls with bludgeon weapons.
• When you score a critical hit, your enemy must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Quarterstaff

Bludgeoning, 3 lbs, 5sp

Bows

---

The bow is as ancient as civilization itself, the tool of the hunter, sniper, assassin and soldier alike. Bows require more training than crossbows, but reload faster, making them still hold relevance in the age of mechanical winding and gunpowder. A master archer places arrows as effortlessly as a master swordsman places their blade, can take advantage of distracted foes, and can even shoot other missiles out of the air.

Feat: Bow Master

• Choose 4 bows or slings to gain master training when you take this feat.
• You ignore the effects of half and three-quarters cover and no longer suffer disadvantage to attack rolls if your target is prone.
• When an enemy targets you or an ally in your normal range with a ranged attack, as a reaction you can make an attack. If your attack is higher than the enemy's, the enemy's attack is negated and your ammunition is destroyed. You must take this reaction before you learn if the enemy attack hits or misses.
• You gain a +2 bonus on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of its enemies is within 5 feet of the creature and the enemy isn’t incapacitated.

Bladed Bow

Piercing or Slashing, 5 lbs, 100 gp

Two curved blades attached to longbow length limbs. Though not nearly as stout as a quarterstaff due to the flexibility of the bow itself, it is nonetheless an effective way to fight the close enemy. This specialized weapon requires dedicated training to be anything but clumsy, but in the hands of a master, the bladed bow can protect a retreat as easily as it can press an attack.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Heavy, Ranged d8 (100/500)
Basic	Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Melee d6, Ranged d8 (120/600)

Bone Bow

Piercing or Bludgeoning, 5 lbs, 15 gp

The master of this brutal weapon finds no challenge in range or melee combat.

Collapsible Bow

Piercing, 4 lbs, 150 gp

A shortbow made with spring steel in a latched configuration that can be deployed with a button and a flick of the wrist to spring the limbs into place, pulling the bowstring taut. When not deployed, the bow is easily concealable, but its mechanical limbs limit the bow's draw and power stroke. The master's quickdraw and nimble maneuvering with the composite make for a formidable weapon.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Ranged d4 (40/100), Clockwork, Conceal
Basic	Two-Handed, Ranged d4 (60/240), Clockwork, Conceal, Hipshot

Master Perk	A successful hit to a surprised creature counts as a critical hit.

Compound Bow

Piercing, 3 lbs, 500 gp

About the size of a shortbow, but has two pulleys on the limbs which allow the user to load exponentially more force. Because of the added mechanical aspect, loading is a bit slower than loading other bows, but its stopping power punches like a crossbow. A master can overdraw the pulleys to punch through targets like a crossbow.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Ranged d10 (100/500), Reload reaction, Clockwork, Puncture
Basic	Two-Handed, Ranged d10 (200/800), Reload object interaction, Clockwork, Puncture

Greatbow

Piercing, 5 lbs, 75 gp

Much taller and stouter than the longbow, easily reaching 8 ft in length and as thick as a quarterstaff. It launches specialized great arrows that are similar in size to a javelin. Due to its size, javelins and ballista bolts can be used as ammunition, but with disadvantage to the attack roll. Greatbow masters can overdraw the stout poundage, sending enemies flying back.

You must have a Strength score of at least 13 to wield a Greatbow, but you can add half your Strength modifier rounded down in addition to your Dexterity modifier to damage.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Heavy, Ranged d10 (100/500), Punch

Master	Two-Handed, Heavy, Ranged d10 (120/600), Keen, Punch

Recurve

Piercing, 2 lbs, 75 gp

A shorter bow but with a longer power stroke. Each limb curves away from the wielder at its ends, loading twice the elastic power into the shot. Using the longer power stroke, the master can load an extra arrow into the recurve and attack two different targets.

Untrained	Two-Handed, Ranged d8 (80/320)
Basic	Two-Handed, Ranged d8 (100/400), Steady
Master	Two-Handed, Ranged 2d4 (100/400), Balanced, Steady

Shortbow

Piercing, 2 lbs, 25 gp

Combat Blades

---

Combat blades are military weapons designed for soldiers at war. These weapons are long, powerful swords used for maximum reach and damage. A master with combat blades takes full advantage of the guard, and takes the best advantage of the opportunity to rout an enemy. Few weapons are as damaging or devoted to battle as Combat Blades.

Feat: Combat Blade Master

• Choose 4 combat blades to gain master training when you take this feat.
• +1 to Strength and Dexterity saving throws.
• On your turn, you can use your reaction to assume a parrying stance. Until your next turn or until your Combat Blade is no longer equipped, you gain a +1 weapon AC with a One-Handed combat blade, or +2 weapon AC with a Two-Handed or two hands on a Versatile combat blade against melee attacks.
• You have advantage on all opportunity attacks. On your turn you can use your reaction to enter a readied stance. While readied, making an opportunity attack does not use your reaction.

Broadsword

Piercing or Slashing, 3 lbs, 20 gp

True broadswords have a wider blade to add power to the cut, and often perform more like an axe in the strike. Examples include the messer, cleaver sword, or Chinese dadao. A master strikes through soft targets, driving their momentum to other targets.

Untrained	Awkward, One-Handed, Melee d8
Basic	One-Handed, Melee 2d4, Keen, Punch

Falchion

Piercing or Slashing, 4 lbs, 25 gp

Descended from the broadsword, the cusped tip and straight blade was a later period design but iconic in appearance, and this two-handed version represents the pinnacle of its design. A master maximizes the falchion's cutting power, striking soft targets with critical accuracy.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Melee d8
Basic	Two-Handed, Melee d10, Disarm, Punch
Master	One-Handed, Melee d10, Versatile d12, Disarm, Keen, Punch

Greatsword

Piercing or Slashing, 5 lbs, 50 gp

Often as tall as its wielder, spanning in the 5ft-6ft range with a 2ft handle and a lengthy, wide blade. The long blade, lengthy handle, and added weight make the greatsword one of the most damaging melee weapons in use, and can easily dispatch larger targets with ease. A master finds the greatest weapon to use against a large enemy is the greatsword.

Crossbows

---

Crossbows require less training to operate than a bow and are often more powerful, but their Reload time keeps them from making the former obsolete, while their ease of use prevents them from being made obsolete by firearms. Unlike a bow, crossbows require time to Reload, shown in their description. They pack a harder punch to make up for slower attacks, but bolts are small and usually metal, making them punch much harder on a critical hit. Masters of the crossbow shoot in combat without distraction, and dodge and weave with their smaller ranged weapon when in melee.

Unlike a bow or launch weapon, a crossbow can be stored loaded, and primed to shoot. Crossbows also have a special Reload rule; If you do not move on your turn, you Reload your crossbow for free at the end of your turn.

Feat: Crossbow Master

• Choose 4 crossbows to gain master training when you take this feat.
• All crossbows you wield gain the Hipshot property.
• When an enemy misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to move 5ft in any direction of your choice, which doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
• On your turn, you can spend 10 ft of your movement. If you do so, for the rest of your turn, roll weapon and attacher damage twice and use the highest result.

Grapple Crossbow

Piercing and Slashing, 13 lbs, 175 gp

This heavy crossbow has a coiled silk rope and a self winding mechanism that shoots a small pointed hook which can even pierce into ceilings. Once the mechanism is engaged, it winds the rope back up, allowing the user to ascend with the bow at a rate of 60 ft per round. It can lift 500 lbs in total, but anything beyond this weight, the mechanism simply holds the rope taut.

When entangling an enemy, you can engage the mechanism as an object interaction, forcing the enemy to succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled toward you. However, if it succeeds, you are pulled toward the enemy unless you let go of your grapple crossbow or use an object interaction to disengage the mechanism.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Heavy, Ranged d6+4 (50/200), Reload attack, Clockwork, Keen, Entangle

Dueling Blades

---

Dueling blades are smaller, lighter weapons designed for civilian defense or judicial duels. These weapons deal less damage but have more specialized uses, often used with finesse.

Firearms

---

However, even combat blades struggle to have as much stopping power as even the smallest firearm. Master musketeers can quickly clear a jam, use the firearm as a melee weapon in close combat, and can fire more accurately with their shots.

Flails

---

These are weapons of misdirection and circular momentum. While the weapon design can not always be optimal, the reach and flexibility gives additional options in battle.

Claw Flail

Slashing and Piercing, 2 lbs, 35 gp

A Dragonborn invention, this flail is worn like a gauntlet, but it can spring out to the end of its chain and grab an enemy with a locking grip. Claw flails are often paired with another weapon used after the enemy is grabbed, and the master has perfected this entangling strike.

Great Flail

Bludgeoning and Piercing, 12 lbs, 25 gp

The familiar 2lb spiked ball at the end of a length of chain, attached to a short iron or wooden haft usually similar in length to a handaxe.

Hammers and Picks

---

Designed in the late middle ages as primarily anti-armor, these weapons differ from bludgeons in that they require control of a concentrated point or face to be of any use. However, even a proficient warrior can injure the most well protected knight with a well placed hammer or pick. Masters knock foes to the ground and can even pierce or bludgeon a target through the armor that stops a hit.

Feat: Hammer and Pick Master

• Choose 4 hammers or picks to gain master training when you take this feat.
• +1 to attack rolls which use the Punch property.
• Whenever you have advantage on attacks and both dice would hit, you knock the target prone or shove them 5ft.

Launch Weapons

---

These ranged weapons launch a heavy projectile using circular momentum and the power of the user's strength leveraged for flight. Each launch weapon can use Strength or Dexterity for both attack and damage rolls, as well as properties, and many launch weapons can be used in melee as well. Unfortunately, they cannot be stored loaded like a crossbow and suffer from shorter ranges than bows, but they make up in utility where both the former lack.

Feat: Launch Master

• +1 damage with all launch weapons
• If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line toward your target immediately before making an attack, you can double your damage dice for that attack's damage.

Portable Catapult

Bludgeoning, 20lb, 175g

Rope Dart

Piercing, 5 lbs, 10 gp

A small dart on the end of a silk rope, this weapon requires extensive training to get full use out of.

Wrist Shot

Bludgeoning, 1 lb, 5 gp

Instead of gathering circular momentum, this slingshot uses elastic material to launch anything a sling can without the penalty. A wrist shot is a favorite of smaller folk, more easily able to conceal the weapon and able to make use of ranged attacks with smaller arms and generally weaker stature. Masters with wrist shots can target weak points and make it easier for their allies to land critical blows.

Untrained	Two-Handed, Ranged d4 (40/160), Conceal, Hipshot

Natural Weapons

---

Using the RME versions of these weapons can make them more impactful, vary their use for more than just damage, and encourage players to approach a beast or monstrosity with greater caution than simply allowing for the damage they might take. As such, these weapons will make your monster encounters more deadly, so use these options with care. However, these options are highly encouraged to be applied to player characters who either have a racial ability which gives them a Natural weapon, such as Tabaxi claws or Lizardfolk bite, or a spell or ability which allows them to take the form of a beast or other creature, such as polymorph, wildshape, or Path of the Beast barbarian.

A creature with a Natural weapon always has basic training with their Natural weapons, except Unarmed Strike. These weapons will not have damage values listed, as they vary by creature, but the properties will always apply.

Bludgeoning

If you are at least two size categories bigger than your target, any attack deals normal damage and you can force your target to succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.

Tentacle

Bludgeoning or Piercing

This listing can be used for any other tentacle-like or grasping appendage or attack, e.g. pseudopod, tendril, etc. When you Entangle with a tentacle, your enemy has disadvantage on the escape attempt. A tentacle is counted as a one-handed weapon.

Basic	Finesse, Light, Natural, Melee, Entangle, Trip
Master	Finesse, Light, Natural, Melee, Disarm, Entangle, Trip
Master Perk	When your target fails a saving throw against your Entangle attack, they become restrained and grappled.

Unarmed Strike

Bludgeoning

Untrained unarmed strikes are simple punches while Basic training teaches proper punches and kicks. However, a real master of unarmed strikes is as well trained as a traditional monk. A master's damage scales according to proficiency bonus on to the table below unless it is higher due to fighting style or racial trait.

Unarmed strikes are counted as a one-handed weapon, but your unarmed strikes don't count as weapon attacks until you have master training or have chosen the Unarmed Fighting style.

Untrained	Awkward, Natural, Melee d1
Basic	Finesse, Natural, Melee d4, Nimble
Master	Finesse, Light, Natural, Melee, Deflect, Disarm, Nimble, Trip
Master Perk	You can make an Unarmed strike as an off-hand attack even if your hands are occupied. You can spend a bonus action to shove or perform a Disarm attack.

Proficiency	Damage Die
+2	d4
+3	d6
+4	d8
+5	d10
+6	d12

Wings

Bludgeoning

While most wings are too delicate to be used as a weapon, they can be used in an emergency for defensive purposes. If your wings have no damage listing, they use Deflect d6, otherwise using the damage listed for the attack. Wings are counted as a two-handed weapon.

Basic	Finesse, Natural, Melee, Deflect d6, Knockback, Trip
Master	Finesse, Natural, Melee, Deflect d8, Knockback, Lunge, Trip
Master Perk	As long as you do not already have disadvantage on your attack rolls, when you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack defensively. Doing so gives you disadvantage on all weapon attack rolls during this turn, but attack rolls against you have disadvantage until your next turn

Polearms

---

These are weapons of reach, usually a weapon mounted on a lengthy pole. These weapons are often designed for use in standard infantry, and have natural capabilities against charging cavalry or massive targets.

Feat: Polearm Master

• Choose 4 polearms to gain master training when you take this feat.

Bladed Staff

Piercing or Slashing, 6 lbs, 100 gp

A 6' staff weapon with a sword on each end, usually straight, but curved varieties exist. A bladed staff can be used to great effect, creating space around the wielder in a skirmish, or used as an effective spear with a wicked butt end.

Glaive

Piercing or Slashing, 5 lbs, 20 gp

Perhaps the simplest of the polearms, a glaive is a short sword blade mounted on a long pole, used like a spear or a greatsword, the wide, sweeping slashes become useful for dealing with enemies much bigger than the wielder. While originally designed to be used by infantry against cavalry, in the hands of a master, a glaive is quite effective as a giant killer.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Reach, Melee d10, Brace
Basic	Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Reach, Melee 2d6, Balanced, Brace
Master	Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Reach, Melee 2d6, Balanced, Brace, Lunge, Stagger

Guisarme

Piercing or Slashing, 5 lbs, 20 gp

A sharpened and sturdy pruning hook, developed as a peasant weapon from modifying a farm tool. The curved hook of the blade allows the guisarme to be used as a tripping weapon or to pull foes from the saddle. A guisarme is a favorite of common militias who will face cavalry in battle, as the master can pull a knight from the saddle with relative ease.

Untrained	Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee d10, Brace, Trip
Basic	Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee d12, Brace, Entangle, Trip
Master	Two handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee 2d6, Barbed, Brace, Entangle, Trip

Lajatang

Piercing or Slashing, 8 lbs, 75 gp

A rare and unusual double ended weapon, consisting of a 3-5ft shaft and a crescent blade fitted at each end, with the points of the crescents pointing away from the haft of the weapon, giving it essentially 2 outward facing spear points on each end.

Untrained	Awkward, Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee d6, Brace
Basic	Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Reach, Melee d10, Double Ended d10, Brace
Master	Two-Handed, Finesse, Heavy, Reach, Melee d12, Double Ended d12, Brace

Partisan

Piercing or Slashing, 6 lbs, 25 gp

Much like a Glaive design, this pole weapon is essentially a shortsword blade mounted to a long haft, but keeps a wide cross guard at the base of the blade, trading sweeping cuts for defensive guards.

Whether mounted horizontally like a traditional farming implement, or mounted vertically like a glaive, a war scythe has its roots in a peasant militia looking to arm itself in times of war. A scythe in the right hands can be useful in combat, though it takes a practiced master to be truly effective. The master uses the scythe's reaping motion to carry its cleaving momentum into the next foe.

Untrained	Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee d8, Keen, Puncture, Trip
Basic	Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach, Melee 2d4, Entangle, Keen, Puncture, Trip

Spears

---

A feature in every military in history, spears have an efficiency unmatched in terms of production, training, and application. It's hard to compete with the simple design, extended reach, and stopping power of a spear. Masters have acquired the lunge, and can trade accuracy for a flurry of shots.

• +1 damage die when you score a critical hit.
• All spears gain the Lunge property, and you can Lunge without using your movement.

Harpoon

Piercing, 6 lbs, 11 gp

A barbed throwing spear attached to a 50ft length of silk rope so the target can be pulled toward you.

On a hit, your enemy must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be impaled, while a critical hit always impales. A master of the harpoon impales with ease and can swiftly reel in a harpooned prey.

As a bonus action, make a contested Athletics check against the impaled creature. On a success, you drag it toward you up to a number of feet equal to your Strength score. On its turn, it follows this same rule to pull away from you. Creatures two or more size categories larger than you cause you to move with them while you hold the rope.
