You may choose to combine multiple damage types in a single
weapon. If you do so, pay the cost of the most expensive type.
Exotic Damage Types
In low-magic settings, DMs may wish to restrict certain
damage types on Common weapons.
7: Damage Dice
Combine damage dice as desired:
Die Point Cost Die Point Cost
1 2 d8 9 15 feet towards you on a success. This movement does not
d4 5 d10 11
d6 7 d12 13
If a weapon has the versatile property, calculate its base
damage as usual, then calculate its damage again as if it were
worth 2 more Weapon Points for wielding it with two hands.
Caution with Low Damage
DMs should take extra caution allowing weapons that only
deal 1 point of damage - they are potentially too powerful for
characters such as Rogues that use on-hit features regularly.
8: Lingering Damage
You may choose to add the lingering property to your weapon.
It costs one point less than the usual Weapon Point cost of
the damage that you add to it, which can be no greater than
the initial damage of the weapon. For example, if you have 11
points to spend on damage, you may choose to buy 1d6
damage for the initial hit, costing 7 points, and add the
lingering (1d4) property, costing 4 points.
9: Special Properties
If the rules presented here still don't meet the goal you have
for your weapon, work with your DM to create a unique
property and assign it an appropriate cost in Weapon Points.
Weapon Cost
Work with your DM to establish an appropriate price for your
weapon. Common weapons tend to cost between 5 and 50
gold pieces, depending on proficiency, size and complexity.
Magic items typically cost far more, and often aren't bought at
all - instead, they can be found as relics of an ancient
civilisation or masterworks of great smiths, or created using
rare and powerful materials.
New Properties
Cleaving. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a
melee weapon attack using this weapon, and the damage you
dealt was more than enough to do so, you may continue your
blow to strike another creature within your reach. Use the
result from your initial attack roll; if it hits the second
creature's AC, deal any remaining damage from your initial
attack to that creature.
Crippling. When you hit a creature with an attack using this
weapon, you may reduce its movement speed by 10 feet until
the end of its next turn. This effect is not cumulative.
Handy. While wielding this weapon, when you make an
attack with a weapon you are wielding in another hand, you
can use a bonus action to make an attack with this weapon.
You do not add your ability modifier to the damage of this
attack, unless it is negative.
Hooking. When you hit a creature with a ranged attack using
this weapon, you may use a bonus action to make a contested
Strength (Athletics) check against the target, pulling it up to
provoke opportunity attacks. The creature has disadvantage
on this check if it is at least one size category smaller than
you, advantage if it is one size category larger than you, and
succeeds automatically if it is two or more size categories
larger than you.
Lingering. When you hit with an attack using this weapon,
deal damage to the target as usual. The target then suffers
additional damage of this weapon's type as specified in this
property at the end of its next turn. You do not add your
ability score modifier to this damage, unless it is negative.
This damage benefits from a critical hit on the initial attack
roll as usual.
Major Guarding. While wielding this weapon, your AC
increases by 2. Additionally, this weapon counts as a shield
for the purposes of the Protection fighting style, the Shield
Master feat, et cetera. You must have proficiency with shields
to benefit from this property.
Minor Guarding. While wielding this weapon, your AC
increases by 1. You must have proficiency with shields to gain
this benefit.
Parrying. While wielding this weapon and not wearing a
shield, it counts as a shield for the purposes of the Protection
fighting style, the Shield Master feat, et cetera, and your AC
increases by 2. You lose this benefit until the end of your next
turn if you make an attack using a weapon with this property.
You must have proficiency with shields to gain this benefit,
and if you are wielding more than one weapon with this
property at once, you do not increase your AC by more than 2.
Penetrating. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with
an attack using this weapon, and the damage you dealt was
more than enough to do so, your strike pierces the target and
continues on its path. If another creature is behind your
target and within your normal range, use the result from your
initial attack roll; if it hits the second creature's AC, deal any
remaining damage from your initial attack to that creature.
Relentless. When you make an attack with this weapon, you
may use a bonus action to make an additional attack with it.
You do not add your ability modifier to the damage of this
attack, unless it is negative.
Tethered. This weapon is attached to a rope or chain. You
may pull it back into your hand after you make a ranged
attack with it (no action required).

Special Common Weapons
Weapons with the special property are detailed here.
Gunsword. As part of the first attack you make on a given
turn with this weapon, you may choose to use it as a firearm.
It becomes a ranged weapon, deals piercing damage instead
of slashing damage, and gains the ammunition (50/200) and
loading properties. This lasts until the end of that turn.
Oil Flask. When you hit a creature with this weapon, it is
coated in oil. The first time it takes fire damage before one
minute has passed, it takes an additional 1d6 fire damage and
the oil burns away.
Smokebomb. When you attack using this weapon, instead
of making an attack roll against the target, the target must
make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC of 8 + your attack
bonus with this weapon. On a failed save, the target is
blinded until the end of its next turn. The target has
advantage on the save if they are beyond your normal range.

You may choose to add the lingering property to your

Point cost of the damage that you add to it, which can be no
greater than the initial bonus damage of the ammunition. For
example, if you have 11 points to spend on bonus damage,
you may choose to buy 1d6 bonus damage for the initial hit,
costing 7 points, and add the lingering (1d4) property, costing
4 points.
