5e Renaissance Weapons

This list of homebrew content includes renaissance weapons made on D&D Wiki for 5e. For the purpose of this list, "renaissance weapons" incorporate everything from the earliest practical handheld firearms, up to weapons used before the 19th century of the real world. This section could include simple firearms and cannons, and weapons which incorporate steam engines or vulcanized rubber. Automatic firearms or other more advanced technology would be considered modern weapons instead. This list excludes magic weapons and any pages with maintenance templates.

Note, what while those weapons were invented in Renaissance times, some of them are still used in modern times.
