Weapon Mastery - New Weapons

by Cab Davidson

I've been running my classic D&D campaign more or less forever, and while nearly everything you could need is right there in the rulebook, I've added a few extras here and there. The weapon table is already superb, but I've added a few extras over the years.

While it may seem indulgent, two weapons necessitated a whole new category. In addition to Hand Held Weapons Never Thrown, Hand Held Weapons Easily Thrown, Hand Held Weapons Rarely Thrown and Missile Device weapons, I've included chackram and shuriken in a new Thrown Weapons section - while a chackram may be used defensively (and to deflect or disarm an attacker) in melee, it cannot be used offensively in hand to hand combat.

Included a the bottom of the page is an updated ammunition table with some changes from the RC and including amminition for the weapons listed herein.
