Weapon
From CrawlWiki
Characters may wield weapons to attack enemies. Weapons may be divided into ranged and melee weapons. Occasionally, they may possess a brand or be an artefact.
The following is a table of all weapons in Crawl, aside from ammunition. Below is a short explanation of each field. This table is up to date to 0.7.1.
| Name | The name of the item as it appears in Crawl. |
|---|---|
| Damage | The base amount of damage the weapon does. |
| Hit | To hit modifier for the weapon. |
| Speed | How fast the weapon is (higher is slower). |
| Mass | How heavy a weapon is. Note that this is used for game calculations and is not the same as the weight as it appears in your inventory. |
| Str weight | A bigger strength weighting is better for strong characters, while a low strength weighting is better for dexterous characters. When hand-and-a-half weapons are wielded two handed, they receive an additional 10% strength weight. |
| Skill | What skill is improved when using this weapon. |
| Hands | How many hands are required to use the weapon. Half (meaning hand-and-a-half) weapons can be used one handed, but gain an speed and damage bonus if used two handed. Double weapons currently (version 0.4.5) behave as two handed (i.e. require two free hands). All ranged weapons suffer speed penalties when used one handed. |
| Size | The size of the weapon. Large creatures can wield larger weapons, while small creatures are restricted in what sizes they can use. The order is little, small, medium, large, big. |
| Missile | If the weapon uses a missile, what type does it need? |
| Throw | Can you throw it? |
| Dam Type | What category of damage does the weapon deal? |
| Prob | A larger number indicates higher probability of acquiring through scrolls of acquirement. |
Notes for ranged weapons:
- Half means a reloading time penalty if using a shield
- Damage field is used for bonus strength damage (string tension)
- Slings get a bonus from dexterity, not strength (as tension is meaningless)
