 ===== Properties of Weapons ===== ===== Properties of Weapons =====
-Weapons have all the properties of Things plus the Attribute, Damage, and Range: +Weapons have all the properties of Things plus: Attribute. They must have three Combo Abilities (Method, Effect, and Target). 
-  - __**Attribute:**__ weapons used in a Conflict take the place of an Action card. The Attribute Property identifies which Attribute an Actor must bid to play this card, like: STR, FIT, AGI. + 
-  - __**Damage:**__ the base damage the weapon will always do. This number is added to the Damage scored during a Conflict, after Dominance and Margin have been calculated. It is NEVER added to a bid total before comparing to an opponent's bid. It is ALWAYS added to the Actor's bid for purposes of determining Priority (who goes first), meaning that the more damage a weapon does, the slower it is.  +  - __**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.

 +===== Abbreviated Nomenclature ===== 
 +Weapons can be annotated in an abbreviated form suitable for including in an Actor's stat block in this format: 
 + 
 +**Name (RangeMethodScaleIncrement#, Damage Type#)** 
 +//Example: Longsword (Rma1, S3)// 
 + 
 +The above abbreviated nomenclature assumes the weapon has the Target-1 Combo Ability, which is most common.  If that is not the case, the other [[..:capabilities:abilities:start#targets|Target Combo Ability]] is noted like: //Submachine Gun (Rsa2, P3, T3)//
