Weapon System Proposal

The weapon system will be handled in the vaguest practical terms regarding weapon types. If you want to use lawn chairs or umbrellas as your weapon, you're welcome to try!  The only mechanical difference between weapons deals with MELEE and RANGED weapons.

Ranged Weapons have a range of 30 meters, and a minimum distance of 4 meters.
Melee Weapons have a range of 1 meter only.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damage Base 1 = 1d10+4
Damage Base 2 = 1d12+6
Damage Base 3 = 2d8+6
Damage Base 4 = 2d10+8
Damage Base 5 = 3d8+10
Damage Base 6 = 3d10+12
Damage Base 7 = 3d12+14

There's no other >:T ... arms modifier feats are OUT!

NOTES:
Unless affected by a Sun Stone, or the "Sword of Sun and Moon" Feature, Arms attacks always deal Physical damage.

Unarmed Combat: "Unarmed" is affected by 'Arms User' and by 'Weapon of Choice', but specifically means that you are not using any material weapons, and thus you cannot have a crafted weapon for 'unarmed'.

Thrown Weapons: Weapons fluffed as "Thrown" are simply Melee Weapons. They still have a range of 1 Meter. The abilities of "Thrown" weapons are expanded upon by the Juggler Class.
