Improvised weapons include everything from throwing a rock to fighting off drunkards with a broken-off table leg. Any item that that isn't a simple or martial weapon is an improvised weapon, if it can be used as a weapon at all.

When an existing weapon is used improperly—such as throwing a sword, stabbing with an arrow, or bashing with a shield—it also counts as an improvised weapon.

  • Don’t add your PB to attack rolls with an improvised weapon.
  • Add your Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls with an improvised weapon.
  • On a hit, an improvised weapon deals bash damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier. Your narrator might improvise different damage dice and damage types appropriate to the weapon, such pierce damage for a broken bottle.
  • As a ranged attack, you can throw an improvised weapon up to 20 feet if the item is suitable for throwing. Your narrator might specify some items can be thrown further, or have a short and long range of 20/60 feet.
