DarSys/WeaponTable

Design notes:
Small weapons have low damage, but higher rate. Big weapons are slower, but do more damage. Big weapons tend to have less defense, big or choppy weapons have minimum damage. Blunt impact is peircing, swords have good accuracy, spears are balanced, axes have more minimum damage, scythes and staves have good defense.

Rate: x/+y means that although the weapon has rate x, if multiple action magic is channeled through the weapon for attacks, the cap on that effect is modified by y. If the multiple action charm grants things other than attacks, the total cap is not reduced, you are simply prevented from choosing to attack with every action. In addition, the total cap is only increased if ALL of the actions are used for attacks with the weapon in question

Damage: xL/y+z means that the base damage is xL, and minimum damage is y, or Essence+z, whichever is higher. BL damage (bashing-lethal) means that the raw damage is soaked with bashing soak, but after -all- calculations and rolls, half (round down) of the damage is recorded as Lethal, and half (round up) is recorded as Bashing. As usual, charms may change the damagecode. BL damage can be done instead of Bashing damage when pulling a blow, if desired.

In the tables below, italicised text (not to mention a filled in Attune section) indicates an artifact, which also means the Cost is in artifact dots, not resources.

/WarstriderWeaponryTable deserves its own page, really.

Melee Weaponry

When dual wielding, average defense, and add 1. Use that defense value to calculate PDV. When attacking, you may accept a -2 internal penalty to attack to use both weapons, gaining a (splittable) pool with both, treated as a flurry. If you split the pool down further, it must be interleaved.

Material Bonuses

• Orichalcum: +1 acc, def, rate
• Moonsilver: +2 acc, def
• Jade: -1 multi-act penalty, ignore 1pt parry DV penalty
• Starmetal: +1 acc, +5 dam
• Soulsteel: +2 acc, drain Essence motes on 1 or more HLs damage
