The denizens of the Realms face danger and adventure with a variety of tools at their disposal. Whether you're a stalwart defender wielding a mighty shield or a nimble attacker favoring precise strikes, the right weapon can make all the difference in the heat of battle.

Weapons have a number of statistics that determine their performance.

Weight: Light, medium, and heavy weapons each offer advantages and disadvantages.

Grip: One-handed or two-handed weapons cater to different fighting styles and tactical approaches.

Cost: Weapons range in price from readily available tools to masterfully crafted armaments, allowing you to tailor your arsenal to your budget.

Damage: Each weapon deals a specific damage type (Blunt, Impaling or Slashing) and utilizes a damage die size, reflecting its effectiveness against different foes.

Properties: Unique features like Reach or Brutal further define a weapon's capabilities and strategic uses.

Unbound Tales offers two different paths to equipping your hero:

Crafting: Unleash your inner blacksmith! This section provides the guidelines for constructing your own weapons, allowing you to personalize your arsenal and fit it perfectly to your character's concept.

Pre-Built Arsenal: A curated list of pre-designed weapons awaits. Quickly equip your character with a trusty blade or a sturdy shield, ready to face any challenge.

The mass of weapons will affect how a character might wield that weapon.

A Light weapon may be wielded in either the character's dominant hand, or their off hand.

A Medium weapon may be wielded only in the character's dominant hand.

A Heavy weapon may be wielded only in the character's dominant hand, and is sufficiently unwieldy that the character may not wield a weapon of any sort in their off hand. They may still use a shield, and employ a Shield Bash, but not an actual weapon.

A Heavy Two-Handed weapon is sufficiently massive that they have a Load of 1. No other weapons are considered to have a Load!
