To keep it brief, you could use the special Crit effects from the new Slasher/Piercer/Crusher feats from Tasha's, making a simple yet useful distinction between a longsword and battle-ax. Give ranged weapons different ranges that actually mean something in battle, not handwavy 600 ft ranges! Give a short bow a short range or 30' and long range of 60', make it light, so a character using a short bow can use its bonus action to make a second attack (just like dual wielding light blades). Give longbows 1d10 damage with better range, but they are heavy. Same for armors:Give me a light armor with AC of 12 and one with only 11 AC, but protection from extreme cold or such.</blockquote>
