Weapons have all the properties of Things plus: Attribute, Damage, and Range:

1. 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 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.
2. Range: a numeric value indicating how far away a target can be.
