This is currently a Work in Progress!

# Chapter 1: Weapons

## Weapon Types
<i>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.</i>

## Weapons
A collection, examples of the specific and magical weapons of Dark Souls.
#### Daggers

Small, but deadly. Simple small bladed weapons for those lacking strength enough for a true sword. But that does not mean their are lacking in their own right. Known for the ability to stab in just the right place for extra lethality.

### Corvian Greatknife
<i>Weapon (Dagger), Uncommon
<br/>"Dagger of the unwanted, those guided by heretical storytellers. A rather large dagger with a powerful attack, but this transparent attempt to intimidate foes reveals much about its owner's fears."</i>

<b>Large Make.</b> This dagger does 1d6 damage, instead of 1d4. Although, it's increased size has made it heavy, lacking the <b>Thrown</b> property.

### Dark Silver Tracer
<i>Weapon (Dagger), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
<br/>"A dark silver dagger used by the Lord's Blade Ciaran, of Gwyn's Four Knights.
The victim is first distracted by dazzling streaks of the Gold Tracer, then stung by the vicious poison of this dagger."</i>

<b>Viscious Poison.</b> This weapon deals an additional 2d10 poison damage. The poison damage from this weapon ignores resistance. When you attack a creature using this weapon, That creature must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute.

<b>Silver & Gold.</b> While you are attuned to this weapon, with it in your off-hand, as well as attuned to the <i>Gold Tracer</i> You can make one additional weapon attack with the pair of weapons.(This does not stack with <i>Extra Attack</i> features or similar effects.)

### Shadow Dagger
<i>Weapon (Dagger), Rare
<br/>"Dagger used by those who lurk in the shadows. Formed by bending a sword into the shape of a dagger.
In Mirrah, the land of knights, there exists an order of shadow knights who carry out assassinations in the cover of darkness.

Those who fled even the order of shadow knights had rejected all forms of honor, and resorted to unseemly mercenary work."</i>

<b>Enhanced Critical.</b> When attacking with this dagger, you score a critical hit on a roll of 18 or 20. Additionally, you roll one extra damage die for this weapon when landing a critial hit.

### Aquamarine Dagger
<i>Weapon (Dagger), Rare (Requires Attunement)
<br/>"A dagger fitted with aquamarine crystal.
Engraved with a prayer in the old tongue to ward off incident. Perhaps it was a parting gift given to one sent off on great travels."</i>

<b>Aquamarine Magic.</b> This dagger does an additional 2d4 of force damage, as blue magic extends the blade with each attack. Additionally, you can use your INT modifier instead of STR or DEX when calculating the attack roll and weapon damage.

\pagebreakNum

#### Straightswords

The iconic weapon of a hero, adventurer, or knight. Longer than a dagger but not big enough to be considered a greatsword. The ideal weapon for the 'Sword' & Board' kind of person.

### Sunlight Straight Sword
<i>Weapon (Straightsword), Rare
<br/>"Straight sword imbued with the strength of lightning.
This featureless long sword contains the very power of the sun. Perhaps is a relic of one-sided adoration."</i>

### Anri's Straight Sword
<i>Weapon (Straightsword), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
<br/>"Sword precious to Anri, another Unkindled. The dullest type of blade found in the ruined land of Astora.
Only, it was once the sword of an earnest noble figure, and its attacks are boosted by that elusive, essential property unique to humans: luck."</i>

<b>Healing Bless.</b> While attuned to this weapon, every round you regain 1d4 hit points.

<b>Lucky Blade.</b> This sword has 1 luck point. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend that luck point to roll an additional d20.

You regain your expended luck point when you finish a long rest.

### Irithyll Straight Sword
<i>Weapon (Straightsword), Uncommon
