    Most weapons also fall into one of four type categories: Cleaving, Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing.
  • Slashing weapons do -1 damage from base
  • Piercing weapons do +1 damage from base
  • All other type categories do not modify base damage (unless specifically stated).
    There are 3 other type categories of Weapons and these each use their own system: Natural, Armor, and Shield.

    Weapons come in various materials, which modify their base damage, as well as modify the color of the weapon’s striking surface. Some weapons are Uncrafted. This means that they can be found in the woods. It takes 5 minutes to find any one weapon. Uncrafted weapons do -1 from base damage. The basic materials are (these do not modify base damage):
  • Wood: Brown or Green
  • Stone: Black
  • Bone: White
  • Iron: Grey
  • Claw/Bite: Red Tip
    Each Material upgrade past the basic materials adds +2 Damage to the weapon. (Unless specifically stated otherwise)
