Weapon Properties

Ammunition

You can use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a ranged Attack only if you have Ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition. Drawing the Ammunition from a Quiver, case, or other container is part of the Attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover ammunition, rolling a d6 for each one (on a 1 the ammunition is broken). Magical ammunition also follows this rule unless it has the Unbreakable enchantment.
 

Finesse

When Making an Attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
 

Heavy

Small creatures have disadvantage on Attack rolls with Heavy Weapons. A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively.
 

Improvised Weapons

Non-typical weapon (1d4 bludgeoning/slashing/piercing, range 20/60ft)
 

Light

When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn. That extra attack must be made with a different Light weapon, and you don’t add your ability modifier to the extra attack’s damage, unless that modifier is negative. For example, if you take the Attack action on your turn and have a Shortsword in one hand and a Dagger in the other—each of which has the Light property—you can make one attack with each weapon, using your action and a Bonus Action, but you don’t add your Strength or Dexterity modifier to the damage roll of the Bonus Action, unless that modifier is negative.
 

Loading

Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of Ammunition from it when you use an action, Bonus Action, or Reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.
 

Ranged

The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s long range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the Attack roll. You can’t Attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.
 

Reach

Reach adds 5ft to a weapon when you attack with it for each level, as well as when determining your reach for Opportunity Attacks with it.
 

Reloading #

Because of the sheer power of these weapons, they require multiple Actions to complete loading, not even including the action to fire it.
 

Thrown

You can throw the weapon to make a ranged Attack, and can draw another weapon of the same type as part of the attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a Handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a Dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the Dagger has the Finesse property.
 

Two-Handed

You can only use this weapon affectly with two hands. You cannot use your off-hand for holding a shield or other weapon, but you can use it for manipulating objects, taking a potion or consumable, and otherwise quick acts.
 

Versatile 1d#/d#

This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee Attack.
 
 

Mastery Properties

Each weapon now has a Mastery property, as shown in the weapons details. That property is usable only by a character who has a feature, such as Weapon Mastery, that unlocks the property for the character. Here are descriptions of each Mastery property. The properties are provided in alphabetical order. If a game feature lets you replace a weapon’s Mastery property with another one, that weapon must meet any prerequisite specified for the new property.
 

Cleave

Prerequisite: Melee Weapon, Heavy Property
If you hit a creature with a melee attack using this weapon, you can make an attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon’s damage, but don’t add your ability modifier to that damage, unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.
 

Flex

Prerequisite: Versatile Property
When you hit with a melee attack using this weapon, you deal its Versatile damage even if you’re wielding it with one hand.
 

Graze

Prerequisite: Melee Weapon, Heavy Property
If your attack roll with this weapon misses a creature, you can deal damage to that creature equal to the ability modifier you used to make the attack roll. This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon, and the damage can’t be increased in any way, other than increasing the ability modifier.
 

Nick

Prerequisite: Light Property
When you make the extra attack of the Light property, you can make it as part of the Attack action, instead of as a Bonus Action. You can still make this extra attack only once per turn.
 

Push

Prerequisite: Heavy, Two-Handed, or Versatile Property
If you hit a creature with this weapon, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you if it is no more than one size larger than you.

Prerequisite: Heavy, Reach, or Versatile Property
