Deadly Weapons

Deadly Weapons is an adventure game module that gives all weapons a chance to deal lethal damage. Use or modify this in your next game by adding the text "Warning: this game contains Deadly Weapons" somewhere in your document.

The damage system you've been waiting for...

Isn't it a bit odd that a dagger is basically useless in most RPGs when they can be really dangerous in the wrong hands? With Deadly Weapons every weapon has a chance to deal lethal damage, while still allowing powerful weapons to do high amounts of damage more often. Simply choose a damage die and let each weapon do the highest of XdY, where Y is your damage die. That way all weapons will do the same range of damage, but bigger weapons will do more damage more often. Throw in exploding dice for critical hits and viola!

Shields are boring!

Be honest, shields are pretty boring in many games, providing nothing more than static AC bonuses or  damage reduction. With Deadly Weapons, Shields provide situational  defense, and  have a chance to deflect an attack completely!

Armor is for sissies!

Ever wanted to play a barbarian with no armor and a big weapon? Well now you can, because with Deadly Weapons your Weapon can deflect incoming attacks!

I think you'll love these rules! But remember: when you enter the battlefield you are literally fighting for your life!

Coming Soon

I plan to add to this module. Stay tuned for updates like:

• Damage types
• Armor protection based on incoming damage type
• Hit location charts & effects
