In order to add some variety and give the player character more of an edge, I want to add equipment cards for weapons with various dice rolls, preset bonuses, and other useful bonuses. In a generic fantasy setting, I know there tend to be a dagger, a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a battleaxe, a mace, a bow, and a magic wand. I am thinking of some things along the lines as follows. For now, these dice rolls would take the place of a plain 2d6 + Meat / Speed / Brains. Please let me know what you think of this variety and these numbers; and suggest any special weapons you would like to see in action.
Dagger | 1d6 + Meat or Speed + 2 | +2 to Dodge (like a parry) |
Short Sword | 2d6 + Meat or Speed | +3 to Block |
Axe | 2d6 + Meat or Speed + 3 | |
Mace | 2d6 + Meat or Speed | + 3 to Block |
Shortbow | 1d6 + 3 | +4 to Dodge |
Throwing Knives | 2d6 | +4 to Dodge |
Fire Wand | 1d6 + Brains + 3 | |
Ice Wand | 1d6 + Brains | +3 to Block |
Shock Wand | 1d6 + Brains + 1 | +2 to Dodge |
