Light Weapons

Boomerangs

Originally a hunting implements, boomerangs are any throwing weapons - usually crescent wings or bladed rings - that can be expected to come back. The fastest ranged weapon in play, boomerangs strike with ease from the back row.

Claws

Weapons consisting of blades strapped to the knuckles, or the occasional metal-plated glove, claws allow a warrior to show grace and discipline by letting their punches rip through dragon hide. With fast attacks and a chance to critical, the claw is well suited to combatants that wish to keep the heat up on enemies.

Daggers

A short blade used for slicing and stabbing, traditionally favored by those who are up to no good, and rebellious, runaway princesses. Daggers favor fast, accurate attacks and tricky statuses.

Guns

The cutting edge of technology, guns represent a new face of warfare - a face that's very accurate, pierces armor, and is terribly slow. Characters toting guns can equip special ammunition, altering the properties of their weapon - Gun ammo has a providing a mix of statuses and elemental shots. Guns are well-suited to use with abilities that benefit greatly from their strange properties. In campaigns where fire-arm technology is well honed, Guns represent side-arms like pistols, as opposed to the larger rifles.

Gun Ammo

Ninja Blades

The infamous blades of ninja - darkly colored and wickedly curved, ninja blades favor vicious critical strikes, and are frequently enchanted with shadow. Scholars, of course, have long since determined that these blades were just as much works of fiction as tales of ninja are, but you can still purchase them if you know who to talk to.

Rods

The iconic batons of wizards, rods are symbols of authority and judgement. Though they might seem unimpressive, as objects of magic focus, they often boost magical power and inflict terrifying magical critical strikes.

When a rod has an entry for "Special Critical", when a critical hit is inflicted, rather than gaining a +100% damage modifier, it will unleash magical power, inflicting either a certain amount of additional magical damage or a specific status or effect, as listed in the "Special Critical" entry. Special Crits are not effected by power modifiers or multipliers, but they are effect by all situational modifiers other than row modifiers.

Whips

Whips and flails are tricky ranged weapons that strike out at distant targets when lashed. The ability of low-tier whips to immobilize targets at low levels is somewhat notable.

Medium Weapons

Crossbows

The crossbow is a deadly ranged weapon - by allowing energy to be stored mechanically, a crossbow-wielding sharpshooter can have the deadly flight of a bolt ready at the touch of a trigger. Light-weight, silent and easily portable, its well-suitedness to a weapon of assassination may have lead to the proliferation of envenomed, hexed and specially-treated bolts.

Crossbow Ammo

Instruments

Magical implements that strike with invisible force. These are usually musical instruments - violins and harps are favored by musicians, and bells are preferred by sages - but these weapons could easily be the sacred tomes of an erudite scholar, the microphone of a pop-star sensation, or whatever suits the personality of the character and the tone of the game. Whatever it is, it's at least easily portable.

Katana

The signature sword of the Samurai, katanas are characterized by the folded metal of their long blades. By mastering the Doublehand technique, a warrior could inflict a critical strike that could easily chop a tank in half.

Staves

As rods represent authority, the staff has long been a symbol of wisdom and medicine. More practically, it is a symbol of going on long walks and occasionally having to clock things on the head during them. Staves often carry protective benefits, reasonably suited to the healers and sages that opt for them.

Swords

The emblem of the crusading knight, one-handed swords deliver strong, accurate damage while allowing use of a shield, and make a powerful go-to option for any warrior. With the Doublehand ability, they become the most fearsome weapon in the game.

Heavy Weapons

Bows (Rifles)

With a selection of elemental arrows, the trained archer hunts enemies from the back row, inflicting terrible damage. In the default milieu of a Seed game, Bows are the terrifying ranged weapon, as fire-arms technology isn't well honed. However, in a campaign where bows would seem out of place, you can replace them with "Rifles", high-caliber, two-handed fire-arms. Simply use the names in the Rifle category instead, and read the word "Ammo" for "Arrows" in the ammo section.

Bow Ammo

Greatswords

Favored for their accurate strikes, the question with a greatsword isn't really "why?" but "How big?". And that's one your campaign will have to answer for itself. As a weapon with some knightly nobility to it, magic greatswords are often shielded against enfeebling magic.

Hammers & Axes

With crushing strikes, hammers and axes break through armor with ease, occasionally inflicting vicious critical hits. Wield an axe for the love of raw power, and for the occasional status that boosts your damage even more.

Poles

Long fighting-staves, the battering strikes of a pole inflict magical damage instead of physical damage. They're enjoyed by monks and dancers, though for very different reasons. The Eight-Fluted Pole has the single highest base attack power of any weapon in the game.

Spears

The signature weapon of Dragoons, the long haft of a spear allows evasive parryings and enables the elegant Jump technique. Deliver your piercing strikes with grace!
