WEAPONS + EQUIPMENT TEMPLATE
A weapon is a tool used to apply force for the purpose of causing harm or damage to persons, animals or structures. Weapons are used in hunting, attack, self-defense, or defense in combat and range from simple, prehistoric weapons like clubs and spears to complicated modern weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles. One who possesses or carries a weapon is said to be armed.
In a wider sense, weapons may include anything used to gain an advantage over an enemy, or to put an enemy at a disadvantage. Examples include sieges, better tactics, and psychological weapons which reduce the morale of an enemy.
Equipment will include Main, Secondary and Accessory Items.
Name: The name of the weapon. This is pretty obvious, what is the weapon called, what can we use on the site to refer to it as. If you'd like to use a name that isn't in English, provide a translation (if possible) for the majority of the site who speak English.
Rank: What is the rank of the weapon? This pertains mostly to the skill needed to wield it, and its raw destructive ability. A large solid club and a katana might have the same amount of destructive potential, but a crossbow and a kunai do not. Adjust the ranks accordingly. The lowest rank a weapon should be on this site is D, and that's for secondary weapons with EXTREMELY low killing/scarring/pain potential. S Rank weapons are for things like legendary swords.
Weapon Type: Is it a bladed weapon? A blunt object? A weapon that utilizes rope or chains? A shield? Explain what type of weapon that it is (i.e. Swords would be "Blades", a Staff would be "Stick Weapon").
Size: State the range of size for the weapon. Remember, the larger the weapon, the more strength and skill necessary to use it, and the higher its rank will probably increase.
Effect: The literal effect of the weapon. Slashing, piercing, stabbing, blunt force, etc. Is it one-handed or two handed, whatever could be considered an additional property of the sword, any description of what it is capable of doing, goes here.
Special: A description of the sword, its origin, and/or any special information necessary to know about its origins and functioning. Was it originally used for domestic purposes? Does it have connections to ancient royalty or a higher/lower class of use? Does it have any special properties whatsoever? Describe this here.
Restrictions: Any restrictions or limits on use. This is also the section where, if any special techniques are needed to utilize the weapon, they are listed.
Cost: Consult the Weapons Index to see a general breakdown of weapon prices. The general rule is that any increase in size from a base item adds 1,000 Ryo to the price. Any special abilities/techs needed to use adds 2,000 Ryo. As for anything else, maintain within a reasonable limit. Base price of any legendary weapons is 100,000 Ryo.
