Weapons and Armor

Instead of using the standard Labyrinth Lord weapons and armor lists, I've provided a slimmer set of options to my players. Part of my reasoning behind this change was driven by my house ruled gameplay mechanics. We're using hit die-based weapon damage, so magic-users deal d4 damage with their daggers while fighters roll d8, whether they're attacking with sword, axe, or spear.

Weapons marked by an asterisk* can be used by clerics.

Weapons marked by a number sign# can be used two-handed, increasing the size of the damage die. For example, a battle axe swung by a fighter with both hands does d10 damage instead of d8.

Weapons marked by two number signs ## MUST be used with two hands and always do an increased damage die in damage.

Darts in my game have been replaced by throwing knives. They are identical stat-wise, but cost 1 gp each. Throwing knives can not be used effectively in melee combat.

Crossbows can be fired every other round, but roll twice as many dice for damage. (i.e., a thief firing a crossbow would deal 2d6 damage. A fighter firing a crossbow would deal 2d8 damage)

Throwing knives, daggers, and slings always deal d4 damage, regardless of class.

Polearms (&) are reach weapons and can attack enemies from 5'-10' away. If the polearm wielder is significantly taller than a companion, it can be used to attack an enemy through the ally's position. Polearms require a large amount of space to wield and can not be used in 5' corridors or doorways.

For example, if Fighter A is a Halfling or Dwarf and is engaged in melee combat with an adjacent Orc, Fighter B (Elf, Human or Half-Orc) armed with a polearm can stand behind Fighter A and attack the same Orc.
