[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7744034, member: 1"] Paizo has a new [B]Pathfinder 2nd Edition[/B] blog up, and this time we're taking a look at weapons! We find out about the Simple/Martial/Exotic scale, weapon traits, critical specialization, weapon groups, and weapon quality.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][CENTER] [ATTACH=FULL]111744[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] You can [URL="http://paizo.com/community/blog/v5748dyo5lkqz?Whats-Your-Weapon"]read the full article here[/URL], but here are the highlights: [LIST] [*]Simple weapons have smaller damage dice, while exotic weapons have additional abilities. [*]The simple/martial/exotic scale deals with power and flexibility rather than being a regional descriptor. [*][B]Weapon traits[/B] -- [LIST] [*]Greatswords can switch between piercing and slashing damage; d12 damage [*]Bo staff is d8, has reach, parry, and trip, plus the "monk" trait [*]Glaive is d8, has reach, "deadly d8" (extra d8s on a critical), forceful (builds up momentum doing extra damage on iterative attacks) [*]Twin weapons like saw-toothed safer do more damage if you have two [*]Backswing weapons like great club gain accuracy after a miss [*]Backstabber weapons like the dog slicer to more damage to flat footed targets [*]Agile weapons like the short sword decrease penalties for multiple attacks [*]Finesse weapons like the rapier use your Dex mod for attacks [*]Two-handed weapons like the bastard sword do more damage with two hands [/LIST] [*] Critical specialisation is an unlockable weapon ability which has a special effect. [LIST] [*]Swords make the target flat-footed [*]Spears weaken the target's attacks [*]Axes damage adjacent targets [*]Daggers cause persistent bleed damage [*]Clubs knock the target 10 feet [/LIST] [*] Weapon quality goes from poor, standard, expert, master, legendary and grants -1 to +3 bonus/penalty to hit.
