Message: <blockquote data-quote="Horwath" data-source="post: 7339234" data-attributes="member: 6801299">Situation is now that dexterity is kind of "do it all" stat.Weapon damage does not help in this as "finesse" property does not "cost" anything. Or it is valued as "versatile", which is more or less worthless.And this will give bump to str based melee characters.So my suggestion is:simple weapons: base damage 1d8,martial weapons: base damage 1d10,Light property: reduce damage die by 1 step,Finesse property: reduce damage die by 1 step,Thrown(30/120) property: reduce damage die by 1 step,Reach1(+5ft): reduce damage die by 1 step,Reach2(+10ft): reduce damage die by 2 steps,Two-handed: increase damage die by 2 steps,Heavy: increase damage die by 1 step,Versatile: free for all 1Handed weapons that do not have light and/or finesse property.damage die steps: 1d3,1d4,1d6,1d8,1d10,1d12,2d6,2d8.Some rules for combining properties:Heavy weapons must be Two-handed,Light weapons cannot be Two-handed. And by the same definition cannot be Light.
