Weapons

Usage
Weapons normally deal Grit damage and can include secondary effects. Each weapon has a Usage Tier representing how difficult it is to use properly. Melee weapons are related to Martial and ranged weapons are related to Nimble. Suffer a penalty on your attack roll and Guard value equal to the amount the weapon's Tier exceeds your related Skill Tier.
Most weapons require 1 Free Limb to Grip them. For each Free Limb more than required used to Grip a melee weapon, it deals +1 damage. Limbs used to attack with a weapon cannot be used for other actions for 1 round.
Strike Types
Each weapon specifies the type of damage it deals. When a weapon has multiple strike types, choose what type of strike to use as you declare each attack.
Properties
Weapons with a listed property have these effects when they are used as part of your action.
Accurate
Gain +1 on attack rolls.
Ailments
After succeeding an attack with a Mystical strike type weapon or causing Injury equal to or greater than the targets size with other weapons, cause Tier 1 of the listed Ailment.
Demoralize, Disarm, Grab, Reposition, Trip
You can use the listed action with the weapon as if it is a Free Limb. Apply Accurate and Extend if the weapon has them. Gripped weapons gain +1 on these attacks and if used for Grab, you do not suffer Encumbered from the Hold and the weapon cannot be used for any other purpose.
Devastating
If you roll any face value 12 in your attack roll, the attack is Devastating. For each face value 12, deal +1 damage.
Elements
Damage dealt is the specified element. If a weapon gains more than 1 Element, only the most recent Element gained applies.
Extend X
Increase your Reach by the Extend value. Suffer -2 on attack rolls against adjacent targets. When using this portion of Reach, the weapon is affected as if in each space from you to your target.
Extra
Have special effects that are described in the text below.
Haft
The weapon can be used as Bashing Strike Type. When used this way, do not apply properties from the weapon except Two-Handed and its damage becomes 4.
Impact
After causing Injury, you may Reposition the target.
Guard X
As a reaction to a physical attack declared against you, gain a bonus on Elude defense equal to the Guard value against the attack. Multiple uses of Guard can affect a single roll.
Lightweight
The weapon is small, making it easy to conceal and wield. It cannot be Gripped with more limbs than required.
Load X
Cannot be used to attack until Loaded with appropriate ammunition. The Load value is the number of Minor Actions that must be used to Load a single piece of ammunition into the weapon. These actions can be taken over multiple turns and require a Free Limb. When used to attack, the ammunition is launched and it must be Loaded again. The Strike Type applies only to the ammunition launched and cannot be changed.
Mechanical
The weapon is a technology object.
Two-Handed
Requires two Free Limbs Gripping the weapon to make attacks with it.
Bulk
Lightweight weapons are 1 Bulk and Two-Handed melee weapons are 3 Bulk. All other weapons are 2 Bulk.
Shields
Shields have latches that can secure to your arm and Bulk equal to double their Guard value. You can don a shield on your arm like donning armor. If you do, treat the Usage Tier as 1 higher and you can use it without Gripping it. It counts toward the Bulk you have Gripped with that arm.
Exceptional Weapon Properties
Additional features may be added to weapons crafters with the Exceptional Weapons ability. Each feature increases the Craft Tier of the object by the listed amount, increasing the cost. Non-magical weapons also have their cost increased by the Exceptional modifier. Any number of features may be added as long as the crafter is capable enough, though some features may not be applied to magical weapons.
