Damage Code: How much damage the weapon does with a hit. Choose one of the weapons applicable damage aspects before resolving an at-
tack: blunt (B), edged (E), or pointed (P). The accompanying number indicates how many points of damage the attack inflicts for each
LoS (including LoS 0). For example, 3B means that the weapons deals 3 points of blunt damage for each LoS the attack yields (say, 12
points of damage at LoS +3). Damage cap for one-handed and ranged weapons is LoS +4, for two-handed weapons LoS +6.
Pointed damage in brackets is optional; if chosen, the weapon has one or more spikes attached, but its breakage number (BN) is reduced
by 1. Spiked flail weapons deal pointed damage in addition to the regular blunt damage (determine armour protection separately), while
shields with a spike may either deal blunt or pointed damage (attackers choice).

Damage Code, continued: Add the full damage modifier derived from a characters Prowess (page 33) to blunt melee attacks, and the half
damage modifier to edged and pointed melee attacks, as well as to all attacks with thrown weapons (regardless of damage aspect).
Unarmed attacks deal subdual damage (*) instead of regular damage (page 226), but characters who accept a 3 attack test result penal-
ty may inflict regular blunt damage. Conversely, you may check your swing and take a 3 test result penalty to inflict subdual damage
instead of regular blunt damage when attacking with a suitable weapon.
AP Cost, Attack or Parry: How many action points (AP) an attack or an attempt to parry with the weapon requires. The first number is the
standard AP cost of the action, while the second number (in brackets) shows its minimum AP cost. A character suffers a
3 test result penalty for each AP devoted less to an action than its standard AP Cost.
AP Cost, Fire or Ready: How many action points (AP) it requires to fire or to ready (i.e., to load, reload, or draw) the weapon. The first
number is the standard AP cost of the action, while the second number (in brackets) shows its minimum AP cost. A character suffers a
3 test result penalty for each AP devoted less to an action than its standard AP Cost.
Weapon Location: The given AP cost to ready the weapon assumes that it is kept in the listed location. If it is stored somewhere else, consult
Table 9.2: Sample Combat Actions on page 213 to learn how many AP it costs to draw or reload the weapon.
Parry Modifier: When the character uses the weapon to parry, modify his parry test by this number. An unarmed character suffers no pen-
alty if he blocks an unarmed attack, but any attempt to block an armed attack suffers a 5 test result penalty and may, at the Turam-
bars discretion, result in an injury to the blocking limb even if the block is successful (see page 261).
Fumble Range: Whenever the 2d10 roll for a weapon skill test is equal to or lower than this number, the test automatically fails and the
character must make a Fumble test (see page 220). In armed melee, the character must also roll against the weapons Breakage Number.
In ranged combat, an ordinary arrow automatically breaks upon a fumbled Bows test.
Breakage Number: This rating measures the weapons quality. Sturdy metal weapons like swords have higher breakage numbers (BN) than
hafted weapons like spears. In certain combat situations (such as when fumbling a melee weapon skill test), you must roll against your
weapons BN. If the roll equals or exceeds the BN, the weapon shatters. See page 263 for details.
Minimum Strength/Stature: The minimum attribute scores to wield the weapon effectively. For each point short of either minimum attribute
score, the character suffers a 1 test result penalty. See page 185 for details.
Reach IN Modifier: The initiative number (IN) at which an attack becomes effective is determined by subtracting the AP cost of an attack
from a characters remaining action allowance (AA). If applicable, this result is further modified by the Reach IN modifier of the weap-
on and the characters personal Stature-based Reach IN modifier which is determined by the following formula: (Stature 11)/2, rounded
off. At the Turambars discretion, the Reach IN modifier may apply to (a) all attacks, (b) any attack he sees fit, or (c) only to the first
melee attack against a given foe.
Reach, Hexes: If the optional rules on Weapon Reach (pg. 256) are in use, the hexes you can hit are defined by the reach of a melee attack.
Range: The various ranges (in yards) at which the weapon is effective: point blank (PB, 3 TN), short (S, 0 TN), medium (M, +3 TN), long
(L, + 6 TN), and extended (X, another +3 TN per increment past L). See page 266 for more information on ranged combat.

*: Normally, a test is required only if the character is engaged in combat or attempts to move farther than his BMR (base movement rate). If
the moving character is involved in a combat situation, test TNs normally increase by +5. If the test fails, the character can only move part of his
maximum intended move; with LoF 3 or worse, the character trips and falls prone (see Table 9.10 for details).
: The AP cost required for this kind of movement actions varies based upon the character (for example, his GEP applied as a positive figure),
the situation, and other variables. The Turambar should make a ruling on the actual AP cost every time a character takes one of these actions.

4): The AP cost to (re)load a bow is reduced by 2 AP if you have an arrow sticking in the loose ground readily available. Large weapons in-
clude Spears and the like, Medium ones Longswords and other pointed arms that can be stuck into the ground in front of you.
