Weapon Improviser

common

As far as you're concerned, the best weapon to wield is the one that your opponents never see coming. By knowing how to fight effectively with whatever is at hand, you ensure that you're never caught unarmed, and you often get the drop on opponents who mistakenly think they've caught you unprepared.

Improvised Weapon Ideas: Use these for inspiration. Cavern: broken stalagmite, large mushroom, old bones; Docks: barrel, crate, hook; Forest: branch, needles, or thorns; Market: box, fruit, scale, sign; Courtroom or Study: gavel, goblet, quill, lectern; Tavern: bottle, mug, serving tray, stool

GM Advice: For a GM setting damage, typically a one-handed improvised weapon's damage is 1d4, 1d6, or 1d8; one that needs two hands is 1d8, 1d10, or occasionally 1d12, and an extremely ineffective one might deal 1 damage. Improvised weapons typically have zero, one, or two traits, and often have the nonlethal trait. Agile improvised weapons usually have a smaller die size. It's extremely rare for an improvised weapon to deal more than one die of damage, but powerful magical objects might. Improvised weapons should be fun and don't last long, so feel free to experiment!
