🗡️5e - Weapons🗡️

The Weapons table in this section shows the game’s main weapons. The table lists the cost and weight of each weapon, as well as the following details:

Type: Every weapon has a type: Simple or Martial. Weapon proficiencies are usually tied to one of these types. For example, you might have proficiency with Simple weapons.

Melee or Ranged: A weapon is classified as either Melee or Ranged. A Melee weapon is used to attack a target within 5 feet, whereas a Ranged weapon is used to attack at a greater distance.

Category: Every weapon falls into a category, like “Polearm”, or “Sword”. Some features interact with a specific weapon category and some weapons might fall into more than one category.

Damage: The table lists the amount of damage a weapon deals when an attacker hits with it as well as the type of that damage.

Properties: Any properties a weapon has are listed in the Properties column. Each property is defined in the 🗡️Weapon Properties section.

Mastery: Each weapon has a mastery property, which is defined in the 🗡️Weapon Mastery Properties section later in this chapter. To use that property, you must be a Martial Class, or have a feature that lets you use it.

Weapon Proficiency

Anyone can wield a weapon, but you must have proficiency with it to add your Proficiency Bonus to an attack roll you make with it. A player character’s features can provide weapon proficiencies. A monster is proficient with any weapon in its stat block.
