[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 8519766, member: 907"] 13th age does this, but without taking the long way around a bunch of modifiers. Weapons basically have three traits (not all combinations exist): [LIST] [*]Melee or ranged [*]Small, light/simple, or heavy/martial [*]Melee have One- or two-handed. [*]Ranged have Thrown, Crossbow, or Bow [/LIST] Each class deals a different amount of damage for each combination of traits. For example, this is how much damage a barbarian deals: [ATTACH type="full"]150306[/ATTACH] Note that this includes the equivalent of weapon proficiencies: barbarians aren't comfortable with complex machinery like a crossbow, so they have a huge attack penalty with them. Looking things over, most classes deal similar damage for each category, with only penalties making a difference. The one class that does things differently is of course the rogue: [ATTACH type="full"]150307[/ATTACH] Anyhow, I'd use something like this as a basis, but perhaps with some extra juice for more martial classes.
