Weapons and Armor

Provided below is a collection of weapons and armor found throughout the world of Hollowed Kingdoms. This is a resource to be used with existing official DnD rules. The official gear as listed in the PHB will not be listed here.


For new items not covered in broader topics (ie specific weapons vs light armor) we will list class inclusions for both existing classes and the project. The Abbreviations are as follows:

  • AF = Artificer
  • BB = Barbarian
  • BD = Bard
  • CL = Cleric
  • DR = Druid,
  • FT = Fighter
  • MK = Monk
  • PD = Paladin
  • RN = Ranger
  • RG = Rouge
  • SR = Sorcerer
  • WK = Warlock
  • WZ = Wizard

Additionally;

  • NM = Nailmaster
  • SC = Soulcaster
  • RK = Royal Knight


For the weapons table, Martial classes (BB, FT, PD, RN & RK) will not be listed in the weapons section as they are already proficient with all weapons, which carries over here, as does the Artificer and Warlock proficiencies with Simple Weapons.

Property Descriptions

Armored

These weapons feature an armored and defensive structure and grant a +1 bonus to a Creatures AC.

Cleave

These weapons feature large blades designed to carve up enemies. When a creature is reduced to 0 HP with a Cleave weapon, you can deal damage equal to your STR modifier to another creature within reach of the weapon. You can only do this once per attack.

Cracking

These Weapons are built to bypass defenses, with an emphasis on breaking through cover and weaker barriers. When attacking with a Cracking weapon, you may ignore half cover on a target and treat 3/4 Cover has Half Cover. At the DMs discretion, a critical hit can destroy weaker covers (wooden barriers, crumbling walls, etc.).

Excessively Heavy

Excessively Heavy Weapons are unwieldy weapons that are far beyond typical capabilities. An excessively heavy weapon has the same restrictions as a Heavy weapon, but additionally a creature must have a STR stat equal to or greater the number listed after the Property in the table.

Follow-Up

A Two-Handed weapon that has separate pieces held in either hand. A weapon with this property can be used with Two Weapon Fighting rules. The “Light” property is not required and does not impose penalties on weapons with this property with Two-Weapon Fighting

Hooked

These weapons feature a one or more curved points specially made to latch onto items and be difficult to remove. A creature wielding these weapons can use them to attempt to grapple. Regular grapple rules still apply. If a creature would attempt to grapple with a weapon while more than 5ft away, that creature has disadvantage on all checks made in regards to the grapple until or unless they close the distance.

Nail

This property denotes a requirement for certain class abilities and infers no benefit beyond disambiguation. These are Bladed weapons crafted by a skilled smith and are often of a higher quality, though this has no stated mechanical benefit.

Rare

This weapon is uncommon and cannot be selected as starting equipment without the expressed permission of your GM.

Split

Split Weapons are unique in that they function as a single weapon made of a pair of smaller weapons. The stats of these weapons are listed in the properties section of the weapons table and a listed stat applies to both weapons unless otherwise stated.

Tethered

These weapons feature a strong rope or chain attached to them. A creature wielding a tethered weapon can use a bonus action to retrieve a weapon thrown, dropped or otherwise out of the creatures possession. They can only do this if the weapon is free and unobstructed, otherwise it must use an action to wrench it free, making an opposed Athletics (STR) against an enemy creature that is holding the weapon.

Pack Armor

This armor, while rare, is a site to see. Made of numerous pouches, pockets and storage spaces, it is designed to carry as much gear as possible. Each pouch contains a 3x3x3ft area and has a 1.5ft opening, covered by a latch. The armor also includes several loops, straps, and hooks on which to hang addition gear and carry larger weapons. No set of Pack Armor is the same, as they are often augmented with personal touches and may even include additional functions, which can and should be discussed with your DM.


This Armor increases your carry weight by an additional 100Lbs. Additionally, this pack gives bonuses based on how full the pack is. The max weight the pack can hold is determined by the wearer’s max carry weight + 100lbs. While wearing the armor, you can use an action to retrieve any item stored within the pouches. The AC provided by this armor is determined by the amount of gear and items the armor is carrying, as shown below (please note you must REACH the amount to gain the benefit):

  • 0% - AC = 13, No disadvantage on Stealth Checks
  • 25% - AC = 14 No Disadvantage on Stealth Checks
  • 50% - AC = 15
  • 75% - AC = 16 (Movement reduced by 5ft)
  • 100% - AC = 17 (Movement reduced by 10 ft)
