You've exchanged the titles for the sections "Weapon Proficiencies" and "Weapon Properties"

I was only going to ask for descriptions and/or pictures for those without a weapons history degree who don't know some of these weapons (both in this and the #2 module)... I guess the rest from the replies didn't bother me as much because I already intended to compare it to several similar modules and for my own average to each. I just didn't want to have to look up every single weapon just to understand what it was first.

I see many others have commented on the accuracy and such, which partially addresses some of the things I will come upon myself at some point. Also I had to look up "weeaboo", which I thought was a funny word. ;P

I love the work you have done but something needs tweaking,

Your Falchion is just stupid heavy 8 lbs? Here is the information to an actual Falchion.

The Thorpe Falchion, a surviving example from England's 13th century, was just under 904 grams (1.99 lb) in weight. Of its 956 millimetres (37.6 inches) length, 803 millimetres (31.6 in) are the straight blade which bears a cusped or flare-clipped tip similar to the much later kilij of Turkey

Just looking at the sample right now.
This is breaking the intended Design.
There should be no 1-handed Heavy Weapon (because of the interactions with the Great Weapon Master Feat).
There should be no 2-handed Finesse Weapons (because of the interactions with Sneak Attack).

Yes there are kinda execptions to this (Valenar Double-Scimitat in Eberron for example) they are utterly more restricted.
If those properties where on special weapons and not simple/martial weapons, or would require a feat to unlock these superior behaviour you could mitigate some of the impact.

While I like your additions, I think this is overall too game breaking, at least for my games.

Great Weapon Master with a one-handed weapon doesn't make sense from a thematic perspective, but I can also see how it may cause problems in some scenarios if used with a shield (especially if dual wielding since the feat just let's the weapons not be light).

However, I see no issues at all with Sneak Attack and a two-handed finesse weapon. Sneak Attack only requires that "you have advantage on the attack roll, the attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon..." or that "You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll."

Nothing here creates any issue with a two-handed weapon. None at all. Not in terms of mechanics, at least.

In terms of optimization, dual wielding allows you one extra chance to land your sneak attack with your off-hand in case you miss, so going two-handed would actually be less optimal in some cases, even...See more

Hello! Wondering if you have tested the extra Monk weapons with Xanathar's Guide to Everything and more specifically the Kensei subclass. Most of the Monk weapons such as the Tri-Section Staff or Kusari-Gama are disallowed from being Kensei weapons due to having the Special quality. Have you considered adding an exception or would that unbalance them too much?

That work is really awesome! You really have helped a lot in my campaign!
I have one single question though:
What difference is there between a Scimitar and a Wakizashi, that could explain the 275gp gap?

I'd guess rarity, depending on you campaign setting but I'm guessing that there's a lot of scimitars floating around while Wakizashi are more limited due to not being mass produced (or as much as mass production works in fantasy medieval settings).

I think that some of the heavy weapons should not be heavy:

- bastard sword and o-katana for being Versatile.

- Falchion in comparison to greatclub.

Indeed, A falchion is greatly miss-represented often as a weapon, in real life they had extraordinarily thin blades(all the better to cut through gambeson with), and were thus fairly light swords. This is also why many surviving examples have holes rusted right through them.

OK, your thoughts on the Katana are not sound. Look up Miyamoto Musashi - Niten Ichi-Ryu its a dual wielding fighting style with using a Katana one handed. Length of a Katana does not make it two handed or the weight. Weight 1.1–1.3 kg / Blade length approx. 60–73 cm (23 5⁄8–28 3⁄4 in) This is smaller than a Long-sword....

I also have other issues with this list as they do not represent the real weapons in a reasonable way.

First off - thanks for doing this - weapons are an area sorely neglected in the current official game
two things with regards to the Jian
1) while i like the idea of being able to choose weapon damage type i feel it should potentially have different damage amounts with the different types perhaps otherwise it is strictly better than other one handed weapons in the dmg (so long as you dont ever plan on using them two handed i suppose)
2) 1d8 on a light weapon - regardless of damage type - makes this the new dual wielding sword and makes dual wielder feat essentially just a feat for +1 to AC - goes from a situational feat to a feat where there is always a better option - to make this at all balanced this needs to be an option only for +0/1 uncommon/rare magical swords/items

All I can say is thank you so much for making something like this, I'm new to the system so I've no idea what to do to balance new weapons in the arsenal, and I'm super sorry that I haven't got any pocket change to contribute to a hard-working bloke like yourself. This is going to help me a ton though, I appreciate it. Have fun gaming!

I personally am not a fan of weapons with both the Finesse and Versatile properties, simply because high dexterity offers so many more useful things than high strength outside of weapon use. Being able to focus on high dex while also having weapons that do the same damage as versatile or two-handed strength weapons seems to be slightly over-powered to me.

Also, regarding long swords and bastard swords; this is presented entirely wrong, but this is partly DnDs own fault. What many people think of as bastard swords actually ARE long swords - a dedicated two-handed weapon that can be wielded one-handed if necessary, but is not meant to do so. What DnD presents as a long sword - a weapon that is mostly used one-handed, but can be wielded with both hands, is actually what you would call a bastard or one-and-a-half-hand sword in real life.

While i personally like many of these weapons, i do however need to point out that many of these weapons are redundant. For instance, the O-katana does 1d12 if wielded with 2 hands or 1d10 with one hand, why not just use a bastard sword. The Bastard sword does the same damage, as well as 2 different types of damage, for 1/4 the cost. This is a similar issue with the Full blade and Nodachi, while yes the nodachi has reach for 1/4 the price i can get a full blade which does not impose any Disadvantage. I might suggest maybe instead of have such high prices for these weapons and odd restrictions, you could say for Bastard sword and up that you get disadvantage on Initiative checks, its not to bad a penalty for the caliber of weapon you get, while still making someone think twice about taking it. You could even be adventurous and say those 2d8 weapons instead do 3d4. On a critical it turns into 6d4 doing an average of 15 damage plus any modifiers. Also as far as the STR requirements, you can walk in Full Plate without...See more

Thanks for your pointers. I might tinker around with some of your points in the near future. The Nodachi has reach with the extra damage over the Full Blade. Yeah, the disadvantage makes the Nodachi less attractive but you can hit from further away. So, there is that. And thanks for that ending comment!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
