Unassuming (5e Variant Rule)

An unassuming weapon can be brought through areas where conventional weapons are forbidden, such as through the guarded entrance of a city. Granted, it may be suspicious if an unassuming weapon is out-of-place— such as bringing a pickaxe to a nightclub. Just as the weapon itself is unassuming, this property is subtle enough to not be listed with other properties — similar to how weapons suitable for underwater combat don't have that property openly listed.
