-List of weapons.+## Meta: How Weapons Work 
 + 
 +Weapons typically add a damage die or dice to an attack action roll. This is their main function. 
 + 
 +Each weapon is tied to at least one Aspect and does at least one type of damage. If a weapon can do more than one type of damage, each type might use a different Aspect. When making an attack action roll you would use the Aspect that is associated with the chosen damage type. 
 + 
 +Weapons have other properties that can affect how they are used. Some of these properties are only available under certain circumstances, such as requiring the character to have a certain Feature or specific Domain or to use a specific Aspect (when there is more than one Aspect possible). 
 + 
 +## Weapon Properties 
 + 
 +Weapons have various properties that define how they can be used. 
 + 
 +### Action Cost 
 + 
 +This is how much your **Action Load** will increase if you make an **Attack Action** with this weapon. 
 + 
 +### Aspect 
 + 
 +Weapons are used with specific Aspects. Some weapons might allow using more than one Aspect, and using a particular Aspect might allow the use of some special feature of the weapon. 
 + 
 +**Important Notes:** 
 +- If more than one Aspect is specified, the Aspect being used must be declared before rolling. 
 +- If more than one damage type is specified, the damage type being used must be declared before rolling, and only one damage type with it's associated die is done. 
 + 
 +### Melee vs. Ranged 
 + 
 +Weapons that have the **Melee** property can be used against beings or objects that are right next to you. 
 + 
 +Weapons that have the **Ranged** property can be used against beings or objects that are more than 5 feet from you and less than their **Range** value. 
 + 
 +If you try to use a weapon that doesn't have the **Ranged** property at a greater distance than 5 feet, you have **Disadvantage** and the damage die it uses is a D4; unless otherwise specified. 
 + 
 +If you use a weapon that doesn't have the **Melee** property on something within 5 feet of you, you have **Disadvantage** and the damage die is a D4; unless otherwise specified. 
 + 
 +### Ammunition 
 + 
 +A weapon that has the **Ammunition** property requires the character to have, and keep track of, the ammunition that the weapon uses. 
 + 
 +### Two-Handed 
 + 
 +A weapon that has the **Two-Handed** property requires the use of two hands. If your character only has two arms/hands they cannot use this weapon while holding other things like a Shield or a Torch. 
 + 
 +### Special 
 + 
 +Some weapons have special extra abilities. Typically these are only usable by characters using certain **Domains**. The extra abilities that are limited as to who can use them are indicated by a "🔒" followed by the *Domain Requirement*.
