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.

(4 votes, average: 3.50 out of 5) Loading ...This post updates and replaces the previous exotic weapons chart. Morning Star and Flail are both weapons in original D&D that somehow got left out of the Cyclopedia. Broadsword is taken from AD&D where it is 2d4. Rapier stats are also from D&D described in Dragon #175.
The optional rules are provided to add something unique to the weapons, so they’re a little more interesting than just finding “a different kind of sword” that different in name only.
