So would your characters be bothered if they had to change weapons throughout play? Or what about having a single style of weapon that improves over time?I would like weapon choice, all the way down to subtype, to be impactful mechanically.I would also be inclined to say that weapons should be archetypal, and each in the weapon table should be a unique combination that could be applied to any weapon.Looking at weapons in the PHB, we have three categories: properties, damage, and damage type.The properties are:ammunition, finesse, heavy, light, loading, range, reach, special, thrown, two-handed, versatileDamage:d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, 2d6Damage type:bludgeoning, piercing, slashingThere is some correlation between properties and damage:All heavy weapons are two-handed.All two-handed melee weapons are heavy.All ammunition weapons and ranged.All d10 weapons are reach.All d10 and d12 weapons are heavy and two-handed.Light weapons are only d4 and d6.</blockquote>
