Held Weapons

Damage is given first as the damage generator format, then translated into a damage range. Other factors can influence the damage amounts, as well. Most items can give 1d2 (1-2) damage when wielded. In addition to differences in damage, weapons can have a bonus or malus to their chance to hit, show in square brackets (e.g. [+1]).
