[@AtelierGod]

To be completely fair the reason they didn’t include to many varied weapons in the original PHB was in a way explained in the DMG “redundancy”, many weapons could be swapped out for others so they wrote that yes a samurai could wield a Longsword but it could be flavored as a katana so they didn’t have hundreds of identical weapons and they could save on paper printed.

I have my own variation called "Weapon Deeds" which adds a x per short rest special active ability to each weapon type (including unarmed); I came up 21 with some being shared by up to 3 weapons. The strongest ones go to the traditionally weakest weapons. I also introduced custom ones for magic weapons. I don't like passive and preferred to make the abilities an alternative to or extension of weapon attacks. I love the variety of custom weapons in your system but it also adds complexity to add soo many homebrew weapon types. Lets see if this wall of text stays in youtube... Weapon Action Associated Weapons Cost Effect Save Damage Backbreaker "Warhammers Club Mace" 1 Attack Prone Strength "1d4 + Strength Modifier Bludgeoning" Whirlwind Swing "Mauls Greatclub" Action (all attacks) Strike all targets around you at a range equal to your weapon (typically 5 ft).

This does not use your reaction but you cannot use your reaction until the end of the triggering creatures turn. You may not use this ability if you already have used a reaction this turn.

[@jmangan17]

so, this is awesome, and thank you for all the effort. but i'm gonna do the "well actually" nerd thing, and i can't stop myself and i apologize..... it's a minor thing, and i'm fully aware that i'm douche for doing this, BUT, for the Khopesh, you seem to be treating it like a scimitar and it's actually quite the opposite. a Khopesh is an axe that evolved into looking like a sword, it's a relatively heavy chopper as opposed to a finesse based slicer. though there were some smaller ones that could be moved fairly quickly, the edge geometry still made them poor at slicing and better at smashing. but other than that, this is super sweet and thank you for doing all the heavy lifting and giving us all a whole ton of extra fun.

[@jansteinhaus5821]

If I remember correctly, khopeshs actually started of as sickles which were used for fighting, it was found that their shorter length was hindering their performance so the piece between the blade and the handle was lengthened, after that it was common to lessen the curve of the blade thereby making it easier to strike with the edge and further increasing the range, later it became popular to sharpen the back of the sickle-blade instead of the front, thereby giving the khopesh the shape it is known for. In short, khopesh is inverted sickle-sword, not axe-sword.

[@tirannusmark7ita679]

First of all, thanks for the content I know of a lot of other homebrew systems, for example "revised martial equipment". It gives weapons a lot of properties intrinsec to weapons themselves They are kinda similiar to what ymba now that I think about It. But every weapon has more than One property. Every weapon belong to a class that has One mastery feat, and every weapon of a class has a number properties that varies. Making every weapon unique. There are weapons that let you make another Attack when you kill a creature, or weapons that make you extend range by expending movements, weapon that let you add another die of damage if one of your dices had the maximum Number... The sheer Number of properties is astounding and they can be combined togheter For example for masteries of a class, Dueling Blades (Dex based) give you the deflext property. Making you roll the weapon dice as a reaction subtracting the result to One Attack damage you receive, only works against one target you chose at the start of the turn Combat swords let you enter a parry stance as a reaction, giving you a plus 2AC It's a bit more complicated than what YMBA came up with tho I really like what the community came up with, the combined creativity of so much players give really a breath of fresh air to the game

[@mattwithoutfear]

This is awesome! It's like those Skyrim mods that add in all the extra cool weapons that should've been in there to start with. Brilliant work!! I can't wait to play a pizza-loving Tortle monk armed with Nunchaku and an 18 AC!

[@waynefletcher4259]

Great video, definitely going to be using these rules in my games moving forward.

[@nojusticenetwork9309]

I'm interested in the weapon masteries more than anything personally. I like WotC's weapon mastery system but the issue I immediately ran into was that there were not enough, especially where the Fighter is concerned. The 2024 Fighter learns more masteries than any other class but after players pick their top 3 at 2st level everything else is repetitive or are attached to weapons that don't interest the player or work for their build. More mastery properties would mean more unique weapons and builds for pure martials.

[@DreamCecher]

I am so happy someone has done this. Can you make a page for range weapons, and one’s for different types of armours?

[@rabenschnabel3072]

Also one thing i'd like to throw into this discussion: the weapon System from AD&D, the precursor to DnD. It hat a shitton of weapons, which lacked any special abilities but had an awesome feature to compensate, at least in my mind: they Deal different amounts of damage to enemies depending on the sitze of the enemy. For example a dagger deals 1d4 damage to a target of small to medium size but against large targets(and bigger of course) online 1d3(so half a d6). A halbeard on the other end "only" deals 1d10 dmg to small to medium targets but 2d6 to anything bigger. I think that system is awesome since it kinda represents the different historic usecases for different weapon types, encourages to cary more different weapons for different uses(which kinda buffes martials since the can handle way more weaposn then the other classes due to harder and more carrying restrictions) and it suddenly makes a whole lot more weapons viable.

[@C_A_I_N_N]

what i would love to see before watching is things like firstly, find familar should be a cantrip with a 1 minute cast time and basically all pact of the chain stuff should be the norm with the caveat being that while a familar is summoned, 'it taxes the summoners energies' and either makes your ac lower or imposes a percentage hp debuff so that way being able to cast through your familiar and summon it over and over would be less of an issue with the way this gets amped up is by it getting more and more health as time goes on thanks to it taking a percentage of your hp max to make its total hp so the more hp YOU get, the more hp IT gets with perhaps some meta gaming options with things like maybe giving the option to allow it to absorb temporary hitpoints from non shield spells so things like elemental shield wont boost your max in regards to the hp you give to the summon but fiendish vigor or aid would giving some fun cleric and warlock options. honestly i just LOVE the thought of playing a undead warlock with some levels into scrying wizard with telekinetic with perhaps a secondary telekinetic feat to allow you to use bigbys hand without casting a spell slot with it being an invisible telikentic force like the normal telekinetic feat that makes mage hand invisible with than floating dragon skulls as maybe flock of familiars would also become a cantrip but one you can ONLY get by having find familiar and being like at least 5th level with each gets less total hp cause it still takes roughly the same max hp percentage with maybe the option to give your familiars the max amount of hp you can give them at the cost of course of lowering you likely already very stunted hp max even more with than my only attack spell being eldtrich blast that i fire through my familars with perhaps also if you have a familar or flock of familars out, you can ONLY cast spells through them but also can avoid the need for all spellcasting components since you would need high dex AND con to use them without making yourself so one shottable that even the weakest wizard looks like a tank in comparison.

[@rpghorrorstories]

I have an idea for "Secondary Masteries", which allows a character to use different parts of a weapon to attack an opponent (like your sword's pommel) or different techniques that change how the weapon is normally used (like mordhau or halfswording). Secondary Masteries use mastery slots like normal Masteries (so if you have 2 masteries, instead of Mastery: Longsword and Mastery: Dagger, you can have Mastery: Longsword and Mastery: Longsword Pommel). For the sake of simplicity, I make Secondary one-handed weapons 1d3+appropriate bonuses and Secondary two-handed weapons 1d4+appropriate bonuses (so stuff like strength/dexterity unless using as an off-hand bonus attack), with the Versatile property applying appropriately (1d3 or 1d4 one or two handed respectively). Some weapons can be really versatile, like how a poleaxe is like a combination axe/hammer/spear/staff. Using your system, a poleaxe might have the Cleave (Axe part, 1d10) property as its primary, and Graze (Hammer part, 1d4), Sap (Spear part, 1d4), and Topple (Staff part, 1d4). You still need to spend a Mastery for each attack mode, so if you have 3 mastery slots, you could use the Cleave, Graze and Topple properties for example. As for magic properties, while I don't mind a +1 weapon dealing extra damage with all parts of the weapon, you should use common sense, so if a weapon is described as having a flaming blade, you can't deal fire damage when you pommel strike or mordhau someone, and gripping the blade while it is on fire will most likely deal damage to you.

[@sic996]

Feels better to handle than just giving weapon default properties: I was thinking of slash, pierce and bludge: Slash: +3 against no armor, +2 against light armor Bludge: +3 against heavy armor, +2 against medium armor Pierce: opportunity works also when approaching your reach, not only when they leave. Or you can do a quick stab as a bonus action (you decide if cast and then quick stab, stab and quick stab, so on). Your's feels better to use, seems way more balanced, but maybe the triangle part could use some change. The rest it's perfect, also the new weapon properties. Very cool. Good job

[@Dack.howaboutyou]

TLDR; I'm glad you, YMBA & i seem to agree on some of the basics of improving the weapons & armor of D&D (since i totally agree they're bad and need help badly). My 2c: I could go on at length about exactly what is bad, what would be better etc, but let's just say in a game i ran, there would be at least a bit of home-brewing to make things slightly more "realistic" [consistent with the technological period the game was based on; combined with however much magical-resource is seen in whatever setting we are playing in [and ofc how much of that magic is applied to the creation of gear]). i actually love the idea of trying to implement a very detailed, specific, "realistic" [read logically/historically-consistent within that setting] group of weapons & armor that were basically designed to counter each other to some degree. Making most weapons & armor fairly unique items with perhaps a few rare exceptions where a particular group/culture mass produced a type of item for many users (customers or their own military etc). This was historically just about what happened until the invention of more advanced chemistry in the form of explosives and/or gunpowder. The problem i see with implementing something like you suggest (with added damage for certain weapon [damage] types against specific category of [, or groups of specific] armor types, is that even if we were historical warfare experts, there is no where near enough evidence to make that kind of broad generalization realistic and/or mechanically consistent... Even if one was to have very specific weapons matched against very specific types of armor, there could still be a vast array of differences in quality construction/craftspersonship and/or material component properties (material science stats AKA quality of different steels, iron ores, or whatever other materials you want to say things might be made of).

[@CipherDVoid]

Hey this works well with my ARTS system I created for classes. Namely I was inspired by anime where they have named attacks. Like it’s one of the most popular & funniest parts of fantasy. Anyway so ARTs is just combination of skills proficiency with an action to make an action well special. Example let’s say you got proficiency in Athletics. This means you can attempt to roll an Athletics checks as reaction. Then add that to your attack as an action. I call this Art Heavy Attack. Now with this Arts have 3 categories. Paragon, Caster & Martial. Caster Arts can be as simple as fusing two cantrips together to create a new one. Let’s say you have Firebolt & Eldritch Blast. This can turn into Infernal Volley. Let’s say you character can fly. Then have proficiency with Acrobatics. They can gain Swift Evade where they can dodge as a bonus action. Then also works with NPC as the GM used it against the party with an antagonist. Then a player can attempt to learn it. This gives players something to do as GM is focused on the big picture of world building. Then the classes are so mundane & straightforward is the reason why it’s hard to get to high levels. Eventually player hit that level wall waiting for the next level to get something. Yet if they can combine what they already know I limited this by using the proficiency guide. Cause fun fact if you add all the proficiency bonuses together you get +80. So this allows to be able to gain 8 maxed Arts. This can then be used to create skill trees a player can write down. So as they go to other sessions they can have skill trees for any class they pick. This will keep the game active

[@oldmanandrew]

Fantastic work! I’m gonna get into these for sure.

[@Mike91975]

Looking good my dude. I'm guessing you didn't mean to have the GD link to need a push request. My sight read. I would give only weapons with a chain or some other flexibility Breach. Permanently reducing AC by 2 seems a little too good if you can just try it every turn, especially if it's a weapon property rather that mastery. Unless the Warfan having Crush is a mistake as it's the only one I've spotted with it as a property. (on second glace, have you mixed this up with something else? Same thing with Bell-Ringer, as this is going into the same problems as 2014 Monk and stunning strike.

[@gatorman5547]

I am a huge fan of this. It sucks that the Whip doesn’t have something like Cat of Ninetails for a D4 of Piercing, D4 of Bludgeoning and D4 of Slashing or a Bull Whip for 15 Feet of Reach and a D6/D8 of Piercing Damage.

[@Dack.howaboutyou]

You just created it right there, good job. You all know you can modify and create stuff yourself in pen & paper TTRPGs right?

Hey there Mr. YMBD (hope thats the correct abreviation), i appriciate the work you have put into this, it was very interesting to read through. I have something to say tho: If you wanted to have a more diverse pool of weapons you should prob have implemented some kind of DIY weapon craft system. The way your going about the problem is not that great imo, because you are creating power-gaps between similiar weapons in order to have similiar weapons represented. But the guy that wanted to play with a weapon x for the design should really have chosen weapon y and flavored it as weapon x bc the ladder is just better. I hope you get what im saying here. Have a great day!

[@DerrickBarrows]

This is so cool! Ive seen other people tackle this problem, but this is by far my favorite I have heard of, havent looked over the whole thing yet. Ive always thought lighter weapons (anything with a lower damage die) should have an additional property that makes them special and worth choosing over their D8 or D10 cousins. Does this system give a bonus that makes lower damage die REALLY worth taking over the bigger counterparts? I would imagine they probably lend themselves to certain classes, play styles or builds?

Bleed makes a number of weapons pretty scary. Rogues will be more mall ninja than ever before because of the mastery and properties on nunchakus and swordstaffs. Like what rogue doesn't love making bonus action attacks with a finesse staff weapon? Or nunchaku dual wielders getting absolute crazy defensive features on top of a sneak attack weapon. A Thri-kreen rogue dual wielding nunchaku's while holding a swordstaff is going to be crazy strong!

[@Aslepo-yb4kv]

So I've got a character whos a water genasi inspired by Aztec culture. And they use a Macuahuitl which is a massive sword-club hybrid with double edges obsidian blades. And I'd LOVE to see that included in the list of weapons. And there's other Aztec weapons too! Like the Tepoztopilli which was like a Halberd-Spear hybrid with the same obsidian blades.

[@Aslepo-yb4kv]

Okay well I'm dumb I just saw that you added it. Another suggestion I'd make though is the Pata. It's a sword attached to a gauntlet, seems very nice to use.

[@woutvanostaden1299]

I think I saw a pata in there too. 😅😂😊 Now let's add a bow bayonet/hazuyari, lion head shield/spiked pavice, gauntlet shield and a corded lance. Oh and if it's not to much a mace-axe and "tiger claw daggers" would be cool too. Whoops I forgot to add the wolf brush spear, a king of area denial that works great in cooperation with other weapons.

[@milosredic3924]

How about a little challenge: How about designing different unarmed martial arts? The monk class could really use some variety in gameplay and if there is variety in anything, then it's martial arts. I was thinking of maybe making martial arts using different stats to make your attacks and saving throws and have different focuses, similiar to your weapons. A wrestler uses his strength to clinch and throw enemys into the ground, while the drunken master uses his charisma to fool his opponents. I would love it if you could pull this off :D

Like I said though more is always a good thing, I for one frankenstined my own Homebrew Weapon list for my games because I fell in love with the Weapon Actions from Bauldrs Gate 3 and a little of what Grit & Glory gives you. I however will hear you out and steal... I mean impliment stuff that I like from this list, I'm not really a fan of the Weapon Masteries from 5.5e but bygones be bygones and such. Though I do ABSOLUTELY love the Holy Triangle approach to the combat types thats something I've never thought of before GG good Sir!

[@Itachi45481]

its astounding how little dnd cared abut weapons

[@sak471997]

This is why I quite like the weapon effects they made in BG3

[@tedbourchert5986]

I very much like it. Only argument I may have is I think the Khopesh should be 1d8 instead of 1d6

[@scabbort2602]

Really cool! One nitpick though is that b*stard swords are actually shorter than longswords, more like a short sword/arming sword with a longsword handle. Somewhere in between the two, hence the name meaning it belonging to no class of sword. Really like this otherwise though.

[@Hari-Harmonies]

Amazing, spears, sheleighs, quarterstaffs, longbows, what would they do in your system?

[@flexiblenerd]

NOW we're talkin'...

[@wyattbrown1063]

Bro went above and beyond I mean rock is on this list!!! A literal rock!!!

[@ideamaster3323]

Still no rope dart or meteor hammer…

[@youmightbeadnd]

Peep the Kyoketsu Shoge and Ultra Greathammer. That should get you there haha

[@ideamaster3323]

@@youmightbeadnd i suppose, but I mean it’s such a deceptively powerful weapon that i never get to see in full detail for any game lol

[@woutvanostaden1299]

​@@youmightbeadndI absolutely love the flintlock axe for a Giff ranger or fighter and it even works with dual wielding. 🤩😁

[@shadowldrago]

A way to go from +8 to hit with my Giff Fighter to +11 without a magical weapon? Don't mind if I do!

[@woutvanostaden1299]

Giff fighter would be awesome dual wielding flintlock axes.🤩🤩🤩😆😁

[@shadowldrago]

@@woutvanostaden1299 Flintlaxe, if you will.

[@slavicandroid1999]

Welp, i guess im adding another homebrew to my campaign... i just hope it doesnt backfire on me... oh, well, either way itll be funny

[@ccibinel]

He did great work but definitely gotta be careful about complexity creep

[@woutvanostaden1299]

Breaking the game is already quite possible, there are plenty of shenanigans to explore with this.

[@jaybakata5566]

Nicely done. Only problem is the pdf is long and unable to download.

[@randyrandy2460]

YMBA, dawg, you GOTTA tell me what that clip is from at 6:21. That looks soooooo good!

[@youtubewhy5051]

I have been slowly putting together an entire game system and it started from weapons being to boring and similar. I'm only at 3:15 but if you took all my ideas and made did it all better I'm gonna crawl in a corner and cry.

[@youtubewhy5051]

no, it doesn't really matter either way, you deserve to be proud of what you've created and Im just gonna get more ideas from it if anything.

[@Gothaprick1313]

Does the spear increase in damage like the UA system? Do you get a bonus action to make another attack as a spear user?

[@Brazzelkanal]

"Insert Vince McMahon Meme here" Thank you 👌

[@silentecho5157]

Yes, weapons were always my biggest issue with DND. THIS IS EPIC.

[@alekskolbe7309]

I don't know why but I would LOVE to see stats for random items.
