Weapon Qualities

Weapon Qualities are the various stats that make each weapon unique and are explained in further detail below:

Weapon Group

A weapon's group tells you which Weapon Proficiency feat you need to be considered proficient with the weapon. If you don't have the appropriate Weapon Proficiency, you take a -5 penalty on attacks made with the weapon, and cannot add any bonuses provided by any abilities your character may possess. Weapon Groups are as follows:

Weapon Proportions

A weapon's proportions tell whether or not it is a One or Two-handed weapon.

Size

The weapon's size (see Item Sizes).

Cost

The weapon's cost in credits.

Damage

The damage the weapon deals with each hit.

• Double Weapons have two damage entries separated by a slash; these represent the damage dealt by each end of the Double Weapon.

Damage Type

The type of damage a weapon deals. Some creatures and objects take more or less damage from weapons that deal certain types of damage. Some weapons deal more than one type of damage, depending on how the weapon is used:

• And: The weapon deals both types of damage simultaneously.
• Or: The weapon deals one type of damage or the other, chosen immediately before making the attack roll.
• Double Weapons sometimes deal a different damage type depending on which end of the weapon is used: in this case the two damage types are separated by a slash.

Stun Setting

If the weapon has a Stun Setting, it is listed here. A weapon set to Stun does Stun damage equal to its normal damage. Ranged Weapons set to Stun have a maximum range of 6 squares unless noted otherwise.

Rate of Fire

Ranged weapons have either Autofire, Burstfire, or Single-Shot settings. Some weapons have a combination of the settings and can be set to any mode as a Swift Action. Only Ranged Weapons that hold multiple shots of ammunition can have an Autofire setting. A weapon can only be on one alternate setting other than its default setting (such as Autofire or Stun) at a time. Autofire-only weapons with Stun settings can deal Stun damage in Autofire mode, but still have a maximum range of 6 squares, unless noted otherwise.

Weight

The weapon's weight is measured in kilograms.

Availability

A weapon's availability determines what type of licensing a person needs to carry the weapon in question. The different availabilities are listed below:
