===== Properties of Weapons =====
Weapons have all the properties of Things plus: Attribute, Damage, and Range:
  - __**Attribute:**__ weapons used in a Conflict take the place of an Action card. The Attribute Property identifies the //Primary Attribute// an Actor can bid to play this card, like: STR, FIT, AGI, but an Actor may choose to bid other Attributes within the same Aspect with a penalty. For example, a Longsword may be designed to Slash(FIT), but can also be used to Pierce(AGI) with a thrust, or Crush(STR) as with a pommel strike. For each place in the [[core:dominance#attribute_dominance_ad|Dominance Loop]] that the Attribute bid is away from the Primary Attribute, the weapon's damage is reduced by 1. So, continuing our Longsword example, if Slashing(FIT) adds 3 Damage based on the weapon's Damage Ability, then Piercing(AGI) adds 2 Damage, and Crushing(STR) only 1. 
  - __**[[.:weapons:range|Range]]:**__ a numeric value indicating how far away a target can be.
