Hand Axe/Throwing Axe

     Hand axes and throwing axes are now considered the same weapons. You'll need to purchases the throwing axe proficiency but any Specializations or Talents apply to both, though you don't gain any bonus damage from them while throwing, even at a jog or run.

     You can switch between either at anytime you are in combat, but remember that if you already have them out it still takes 5 seconds to aim before throwing.

Battle Axe

     This is a two handed weapon but doesn't suffer the penalty to speed or the bonus damage. It can be paired with a buckler but attacking Aggressively negates the shield bonus.

Crossbows

     These long range death dealers aren’t built for speed but they do have several distinct advantages over their brothers. The first is that when steadied against something, either the ground or a tripod of some sort, the penalties for Called Shots are halved, this stacks with the talent.

     The second is that the specialization for the crossbow works different, with the user being able to only specialize in Attack, with the option to also put points in Speed. This means that you can specialize up to +5 to Attack in the crossbow while having no specialization in Speed. If you do, however, chose to put points into Speed, the effective bonus is doubled. So a +2 to Speed would lower the crossbows RoF by 4 seconds.

Knife/Throwing Knife

     Knives and throwing knives are now considered the same weapons. You'll need to purchases the throwing axe proficiency but any Specializations or Talents apply to both, though you don't gain any bonus damage from them while throwing, even at a jog or run.

     You can switch between either at anytime you are in combat, but remember that if you already have them out it still takes 5 seconds to aim before throwing.

Flails

     You roll a d20p-4 when defending against a flail, even if you're using a shield. Regular flails now also come in an additional variety:

     Peasant flail: +2 to reach, it requires two hands giving it a +3 to damage and +2 to speed.

   

Military Pick/Warhammer

     The Military pick and the warhammer are the same weapon, it just comes down to what side of the head you are using. Any Specializations or Talents apply to both. It takes 2 seconds to switch sides.

Scourge

      The scourge is particularly effective at triggering ToP saves. Any damage done with the scourge counts as double when considering whether it triggers a ToP, however, if it only triggers one because of this fact, the defender tries to get under his full Con score, instead of the standard half.

      This ability to negated by armor.

Two-Handed Sword

      Arguably the worst weapon, the two handed sword now has one thing in it's favor.

      The two handed sword now has a jab attack with a speed 12 and damage of a d12.

Glaive

     Glaives have 1 less damage die and get a +1 to their speed.

Whips

      The whip is particularly effective at triggering ToP saves. Any damage done with the whip counts as double when considering whether it triggers a ToP, however, if it only triggers one because of this fact, the defender tries to get under his full Con score, instead of the standard half.

      This ability to negated by armor.
