Concise Weapons (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
This replaces the default weapon options. Noise is removed. That's about it.
- Weight is ignored.
- Damage type is ignored.
- All costs are in silver. Cost is standardized for melee weapons.
- Some weapons have been made stronger: club, light hammer, sickle, mace, greatclub, flail, and war pick.
- Trident is changed to simple instead of martial.
- The "Heavy" property is removed.
- The "Ammo" property omits ammo-tracking, replacing the Ammunition property.
- Blowgun has a new special property.
- Net is removed, as it works more like acid or alchemist's fire anyway.
