But it did give special feats to groups of weapons like 'axe' and 'light blade' etc. and some powers gave you bonuses based on the weapon family you used. You also had 'Rattling' and 'Invigorating' keywords (that were triggered by the Intimidate and Endurance skill, respectively) that I could see being integrated into weapon properties.We're getting a whole Caster centric setting, so I think it would be cool to have a Martial centric setting. My best idea for that would be one with giant monsters you need to climb, Shadow of the Colossus style, to be able to expose their weak spots and open them up to the rest of the party. Then, you can use those giant monsters' remains to craft exotic weapons and armors with new properties, in a Monster Hunter style!Just go with [USER=82504]@Garthanos[/USER] 's idea of a custom weapon making table. Bring back properties like 'brutal' or 'high grit'. With the number of properties you can stack (including weapon dice manipulation as any additional property would bring the dice down one step) making it harder to craft with the risk of ruining your material if you fail.One thing that a lot of depth to the weapons tables allow is that it MATTERS what weapon you wield, and different weapons could lead to different play styles and switching weapon mid-fight would actually be a tactically impactful decision beyond the boring range/melee binary. Maybe certain weapons give you a bonus to attempting to trip someone up, others let you grapple them (whip type for exemple), and some just give you a +1 to hit, etc.</blockquote>
