Posted by Angelo on June 23, 2001

This system is based on the premis that characters may try to use weapons either 1 handed or 2 handed, and may have some amount of success. Wherever the damage is not applicable (n/a) it means the damage would be the same or it is impossible to use the weapon this way.

This includes items from the Exotic Weaponry article. The numbers are of the format: damage (hit roll adjustment).
