Campaign Weapon Rulings

These are recurring weapon rulings used across the DM's homebrew campaigns.

• Category: Homebrew rules / equipment.

Darts:

• Darts, including plumbata-style darts, have a range of 40/160.
• All other dart rules remain the same unless an item, feat, or feature says otherwise.

Slings:

• Slings using sling bullets use the same range as a shortbow: 80/320.
• Slings using only found stones have half that range: 40/160.
• Sling Mastery expands sling use, including loading without a free hand and slinging small lightweight items such as vials, ball bearings, or coins.

Viking weapon reflavorings:

• A Daneaxe is a greataxe by another name. It is a martial melee weapon with the heavy and two-handed properties, deals 1d12 slashing damage, and uses the same rules as a greataxe unless another rule says otherwise.
• A Daneaxe uses the Cleave mastery property when the wielder has access to weapon mastery properties.
• A Seax is a shortsword by another name. It is a martial melee weapon with the finesse and light properties, deals 1d6 piercing damage, and uses the same rules as a shortsword unless another rule says otherwise.
• A Seax uses the Vex mastery property when the wielder has access to weapon mastery properties.

Armor and equipment reflavorings:

• A Kaftan can be treated as padded armor without the normal stealth disadvantage. It is otherwise a campaign reflavoring rather than a separate magic item.
• Birdpipes and Zulkoon are campaign-flavored musical instruments and use normal instrument rules unless another feature or item says otherwise.

Sling bullet crafting:

• Homebrew equipment can allow a user to craft up to ten sling bullets in an hour, including during a short rest, if they have lead or another metal that can be melted.
• Silver coins may be used as material, though this is costly.

• Dart Mastery
• Sling Mastery
• Aetherstone Dart
