Weapon Types

The weapons across the Souls series have always been categorized into various weapon-types. The table below is made with that in mind, and with the idea of 5e's weapon styles together, giving a good broad showcase of what each weapon-type is like. This allows the players to flavor up their mundane weapons they find, or have the DM use these as a template for making custom weapons.
