=== General Revisions ===
 +
 +
Bow: A weapon with the Bow tag deals Strength + arrow damage, as usual. Bows do not have a maximum Strength bonus attached to them.
 +
 +
Overwhelm Tag: A weapon with the Overwhelm tag increases its minimum damage by 1 pt.
 +
 +
Piercing Tag: The Piercing tag is provided by weapons that are particularly good at either hitting a narrow point of armor, or bypassing it (very thin or focused weapons, generally) as opposed to just anything huge.
 +
 +
Slow Tag: A ranged weapon with the Slow tag (S) requires a Miscellaneous action to reload or access new ammunition.
 +
 +
Exceptional Weapons: Fine weapons do not exist. Exceptional weapons provide only two +1 bonuses. A bonus placed in Damage increases Damage by 2. Perfect weapons provide two +1 bonuses and a +2 bonus, which may be placed in Speed to reduce Speed by 1 or may increase Damage by 4.

Weapons

I really like Second Edition, but I feel that they did some slightly odd things with a lot of the weapons. It's not a big deal, really, but I thought I'd sit down and re-balance them.

Here is where I put the guidelines for weapon revision.

General Revisions

Bow: A weapon with the Bow tag deals Strength + arrow damage, as usual. Bows do not have a maximum Strength bonus attached to them.

Overwhelm Tag: A weapon with the Overwhelm tag increases its minimum damage by 1 pt.

Piercing Tag: The Piercing tag is provided by weapons that are particularly good at either hitting a narrow point of armor, or bypassing it (very thin or focused weapons, generally) as opposed to just anything huge.

Slow Tag: A ranged weapon with the Slow tag (S) requires a Miscellaneous action to reload or access new ammunition.

Exceptional Weapons: Fine weapons do not exist. Exceptional weapons provide only two +1 bonuses. A bonus placed in Damage increases Damage by 2. Perfect weapons provide two +1 bonuses and a +2 bonus, which may be placed in Speed to reduce Speed by 1 or may increase Damage by 4. 

=== Natural Attacks ===

||Name       ||Speed||Accuracy||Damage||Defense||Rate||Tags|| Minimum || Cost||
|| Fist      ||  5  ||   +1   ||  +0B ||   +1  ||  2 || N  ||  -      ||  -  ||
|| Kick      ||  5  ||   +0   ||  +3B ||   --  ||  2 || -  || -       ||  -  ||

|| Bite      ||  6  ||   +1   ||  +3L ||   --  ||  2 || C, N|| -  || -  ||

Note: Only characters with natural weapons may use the Claw or Bite attacks. Special creatures with more powerful natural weapons supplant these attacks, which are designed only as a baseline.
