___
- **Blowgun.** Majorly changed this to make it into a piercing variant of the sling so that it's a viable option.
- **[Broadaxe.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadaxe)** New slashing variant to the spear and quarterstaff.
- **[Chakram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakram) and Thrown rock.** New slashing and bludgeoning variants to the dart, respectively. Provides proficiency when throwing a rock or similar improvised weapons.
- **[Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_(law_enforcement)#Blackjacks_and_saps) and Sickle.** Added finesse property to set them apart from the 1d4 light, thrown weapons and to align with the punching dagger.
- **[Falcata.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcata)** New slashing variant to the flail, morningstar, and war pick.
- **[Falchion.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falchion)** New slashing variant to the rapier.
- **Flail, Morningstar, and War pick.** Changed damage to set them apart from the 1d8 versatile weapons.
- **Greatstar.** New fictitious piercing variant to the greataxe. Essentially just a two-handed morningstar.
- **Greatclub.** Changed damage to set it apart from the 1d6 versatile weapons.
- **Handaxe.** Removed thrown property to align with other 1d6 simple weapons.
- **[Throwing axe.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throwing_axe)** New slashing variant to the light hammer and dagger and a replacement for a thrown handaxe.
- **Javelin and Mace.** Added light property to set them apart from the 1d6 versatile weapons and to align with the updated handaxe.
- **[Lucerne hammer.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucerne_hammer)** New bludgeoning variant to the glaive, halberd, and pike.
- **[Nunchaku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunchaku).** New bludgeoning variant to the scimitar and shortsword.

\pagebreak

___
- **[Pickaxe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickaxe) and [Scythe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythe).** New piercing and slashing variants to the greatclub, respectively.
- **[Punching dagger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katar_(dagger)).** New piercing variant to the club and sickle. Inferior to the standard dagger, but provides an option for improvised daggers that wouldn't throw well, such as broken bottles.
- **Trident.** Changed damage to match the battleaxe, longsword, and warhammer and set it apart from the spear.

### New/Updated Rule Ideas
{i}
***Heavy.*** Creatures that are Small or Tiny wielding heavy weapons and Medium creatures wielding them with only one hand have disadvantage on attack rolls with them. A heavy weapon's size and bulk make it too large to use effectively in these ways.

***Recumbent fire.*** Creatures do not gain disadvantage with recumbent fire weapons when attacking while prone.
