Weapons

Listed here are the different weapons that can be found or purchased. These prices are the mean prices of the world, and the Game Master is expected to change these if the place wouldn't be able to provide one thing or etc. See: Plot Location.

They have descriptions, price, and weight sorted. For carry weight and encumbrance, go here:

The prices are paid with The Mother's Coin, as, it is the universal coinage system used throughout Thamere's Republic.

These weapons do not come with the straps, containers, or etc that are supposed to hold them. So, things such as scabbards, quivers, strips, and sacks must be bought separately.

If you don't sharpen your blades with a whetstone and rub them down with an oilcloth, they will be considered poor quality.

Poor: Below Average, bad; made with cheap materials or made by someone with no talent, it also could be damaged or rusted: **Decrease the price by 25%**

Common: This is the price the weapon normally is.

Superior: This means the weapon is well-crafted, perhaps castle-forged: **Increase the price by 25%**.

Extraordinary: This was crafted in a castle by a master blacksmith, this just takes your breath away: **Double the price**.

(Only Warfare weapons can be above common.)

## Simple Weapons and Tools Melee

These are weapons that are simply-crafted, without any sort of flair or much money put into them. These can be found anywhere, and can be used by anyone. They aren't particularly deadly as a result, but can be bought for utility purposes as well.
