Weapons

This section provides an overview of the different weapon types and their properties. Weapons are divided into various categories, including melee and ranged weapons, as well as one-handed and two-handed options. Each weapon has a specific profile with values for attack, damage, range, and weight. When choosing a weapon, consider how it fits your combat style.

For more details on combat and rules, see: Combat Rules

For special conditions, see: Magic and becoming a Spellcaster

Rules

• Weapons are divided into main and secondary weapons.
• A weapon must be active to be used.
• At the start of a CRP, the equipped weapons are automatically active.
• Unless stated otherwise Players cannot have two main or two secondary weapons active at the same time.
• Switching a weapon requires an action, after which the new weapon becomes active.

Weapon Stats

• Target (T): The Minecraft item that represents the weapon.
• Grip (G): Number of hands (h) required to use the weapon.
• Attacks (A): Number of attacks the weapon can make per round.
• Damage (D): Damage dealt on a successful hit.
• Weight (W): Weapon's weight; the maximum weight a player can carry is 100.
• Range (R): Maximum reach in blocks.
  • Two values (e.g., 2-7) indicate a minimum and maximum distance.
• Special Rules (SR): Unique properties that grant the weapon special abilities

Basic Weapons

Base weapons are represented by Minecraft items. Any Minecraft item without the correct lore inscription is automatically considered a base weapon and receives the following stats:

Custom Main Weapons

Custom Main Weapons are special weapons that allow players to create their own weapon based on a trade system. These weapons can have unique properties and special rules, giving them more flexibility than basic weapons. Custom weapons must follow the weapon creation rules and include a lore inscription to validate them.

Weapon Creation

The creation of a weapon consists of three steps:

1. Concept:
   • Define the weapon's purpose and style. What kind of weapon do you want to create, and what role will it serve in combat?
   • Consider the weapon's appearance, feel, and intended functionality.
2. Properties Selection:
   • Choose the weapon's relevant Special Rules (SR)
   • Adjust the Grip (G), Attacks (A), Damage (D), Weight (W) and Range (R) of the Standard Profile: G: 1h, A: 1, D: 1d6, W: 15, R: 2, SR: - accordingly.
3. Weapon Creation:
   • Finalize your weapon by ensuring it follows the creation rules and include a lore inscription.
   • Once complete, the weapon is ready for use in gameplay with the chosen stats and special abilities.

1. Concept

The first step is to come up with a feasible weapon concept. Pretty much anything is possible here as long as it is not magical and somewhat explainable.

Example: Denuran Warhammer

Hammer

Weapon Description

2. Properties Selection

In the second step, the weapon is given features that provide it with the appropriate effects in the CRP. To do this, the following standard profile must be changed:

Standard profile: G: 1h, A: 1, D: 1d6, W: 15, R: 2, SR: -

To do this, the traits that best describe the weapon must be selected from the given Special Rule (SR) list. Only 2 SR per weapon are allowed. Weapon combinations should always represent a logical weapon profile. Combinations such as ‘Light’ and ‘Heavy’ or a dagger with the ‘Heavy’ SR are not allowed.

Example: For the Denuran Warhammer we use “Versatile” (VRS) and “Short” (SHT)

→ G: 1h, A: 1, D: 1d7, W: 15, R: 1, SR: VRS, SHT

3. Weapon Creation

In the third step the item must be created. Axe, sword or trident must be used for melee weapons. The bow or crossbow must be used for ranged weapons.

To complete the creation, the item's lore only needs to be created with /edititem. This needs a description of the appearance of the weapon. After that, the attributes of the weapons should be described according to the following template:

G: , A: , D: , W: , R: , SR:

Finished hammer

Important! Please note that the stats of the standard profile are changed depending on the selected SR.

In addition, a separator should be used in the lore that fills the entire line - this is an example: ---------------------------------------------

Secondary Weapons

Secondary weapons cannot be custom-created. However, players can choose from a selection of pre-defined weapons to serve as their secondary weapon. These weapons are selected alongside the base shield, and each weapon in this selection must have a description and a tag to be valid. Without these, the weapon cannot be equipped or used in gameplay.
