Melee Weapons

Melee weapons make Attack rolls to hit their target with 1d12+Might, unless otherwise noted. If a weapon is thrown, instead roll 1d12+Precision.
If a weapon requires a Training Perk you do not have, you make attacks with that weapon with a -4 penalty.

Improvised Weapons

The GM determines the appropriate size and damage type of an Improvised Weapon. The to-hit penalty can be removed by taking the Improvised Weapon Fighting Perk.​
  • Small Improvised Weapon. Reach: 5ft./Throw 10ft. | Damage: (1d4) | One Hand

    ​

    Improvised. Attack rolls are made with a -4 Penalty.

Weapon Modifiers

Weapon Modifiers add properties to any weapon, and a multiplier to its cost. If a weapon has multiple modifiers, the multipliers stack. 
Extremely "expensive" items are unlikely to be for sale at a shop anywhere, but serve as a way of gaging their rarity (see sidebar) and roughly what character level it makes sense for players to run across them.

Examples:
A Mace costs 5GP, making it a Mundane rarity.
A Deadly Mace would cost 50GP  (5GP x 10), still Mundane.
A Deadly Accurate Mace would cost 500GP (5GP x 10 x 10), putting it at the high end of Unusual and the low end of Rare. This makes it appropriate for characters around level 5. 

A Maul costs 25Gp. Pricey, but a Mundane item.
A Silvered Mace costs 750GP (25GP x 30), a Rare item suitable for players level 6-9. 
A Consecrated(+) Silvered Maul costs 262,500GP (25GP x 30 x 350), a Legendary item suitable for players level 13+. 

A Greatsword costs 70GP. 
A Hellforged(+) Greatsword costs 23,100GP (70GP x 330), a Very Rare item suitable for players level 10 or higher. However:
A Hellforged(++) Greatsword costs 46,200GP (70GP x 660), still a Very Rare item, but toward the high end of the bracket, so GMs may consider waiting a level or two, or saving it for a very special reward. 

Modifiers with a "+/++/+++" have multiple variants, increasing in power (and cost). It is intentionally left to the GM to decide if a "+" or "++" version might be upgraded to a higher tier, and what it would take to do so. 

Item Rarity

General guideline for how accessible things should be and when they'd be encountered by players, based on their cost. Note this is written with an eye toward equipment, not consumables. 
  • 0-100GP | Mundane. Commonly available items, suitable for all levels. 
  • 100-500GP | Unusual.  Niche, accessible with some searching or contacts. Character levels 3-5.
  • 500-2,500GP | Rare. Treasured objects inaccessible to most. Rare items often have a storied history. Character levels 6-9. 
  • 2,500-50,000 | Very Rare. The coveted prizes of organizations and kingdoms, arms and armor of celebrated heroes, fabled artifacts lost to time. Very Rare items, or at the least their makers or wielders, are likely known to scholars and storytellers both. Character levels 10+
  • 50,000-500,000GP | Legendary. Literal objects of legend, only a handful of which exist in a given culture's stories. Apex masterpieces of history's greatest artificers or enchanters. Whether they are real or not may be debated. Recovering one would be a quest for many, and succeeding would attract the attention of more. Character levels 13+
  • 500,000-10,000,000GP | Mythic. Forged as boons and workings of primordial powers, or confluxes of universal events. Armor forged by smith-gods, blades woven from screams by arch-devels, a humble arrowhead that pierced the heart of a dragon queen and now burns eternally with lightless fire--each Mythic item is unique and (nearly) priceless.

Minimum Cost Modifier

The Modifiers below may be applied to any melee weapon.
However, if the weapon's base cost is less than 5GP, instead treat it as 5GP for the purposes of applying cost multipliers.
(Meaning the cheapest possible modified weapon, Accurate or Deadly, should be at least 50GP). 

Negative modifiers are unaffected.
Intrinsic Modifiers.
These are not consider magical effects for the purposes of Endmage auras or anti-magic effects.
Accurate. Cost x10. Add an additional +1 to Attack Rolls made with this weapon.

Lodestone. Cost x25. This weapon deals an additional 2 Damage to Furies and Elementals.

Hellforged (+/++/+++). Cost x330/660/990. This weapon deals an additional +1 Infernal damage on a hit, or +1d4 Infernal damage to Celestials.

Etherwrought (+/++/+++). Cost x100/200/300. This weapon deals an additional +1/+2/+3 Ether Damage on a hit. If subjected to an Endmage aura or similar effect, the creature holding this weapon must drop it or take 1d4/1d6/1d8 Ether Damage per round they hold onto it.
Blighted. (+/++/+++). Cost x250/x350x500. This weapon inflicts an additional 1/2/3 Eldritch Damage upon a hit. 
  • ++ and +++ versions: when you make a Critical Hit with this weapon, the target suffers 1d4 Eldritch + 1d4 Ether Damage.
Consecrated (+/++/+++). Cost x350/500/707. When you strike an Undead or Infernal creature with this weapon, it deals an additional 1/2/1d4 Ardent Damage.
  • ++ and +++ versions: Once per day, the wielder may activate this weapon, forcing all hostile creatures who see it to make a Fortitude Check (++target= 8 || +++target= 10), or become Blinded for 1d4 Rounds.​
Negative Modifiers.
Need to know what the stats are for an old axe that's been moldering in a dank tomb for 200 years? Welp.
Worn (Negative Modifier). Cost /2. Subtract 1 from Damage Rolls made with this weapon.
Corroded (Negative Modifier). Cost /3. Subtract 2 from Damage Rolls made with this weapon.
Decrepit (Negative Modifier). Cost /4. Subtract 3 from Damage Rolls made with this weapon.
