I created this table for a game I will be running. I thoroughly enjoy 5th edition D&D, but I have always found the weapons to be bland. You essentially just pick a 1d6, 1d8 or 1d12 piercing, slashing or bludgeoning weapon; or a reach weapon. I was never excited for weapons and just picked what ever. Whilst feats can shape how you fight, they don't affect what you fight with. Wizards released a Unearthed Arcana with some extended weapon feats, but, I felt that is punishing a martial player, requiring a feat for weapons be a generic boring template. That is why I have created this expanded weapons table. It adds in some new weapon features, as well as a new (modified?) feat to encompass a martial warrior, and fixes a few minor things that bothered me as well (unwieldy and heavy properties in particular). I hope you all enjoy this following table.
I still have some formatting to fix (alphabetizing the properties for example), but please also point out ant formatting mistakes (And, if any one knows a better way on Natural Crit to lay out the weapons table, i would love to hear it. These are modified short class tables)
I look forward to your feedback!
