The Weapons table shows the most Common Weapons used in the fantasy gaming worlds, their price and weight, the damage they deal when they hit, and any special properties they possess.

A melee weapon is used to Attack a target within 5 feet of you, whereas a ranged weapon is used to Attack a target at a distance.

Weapon Proficiency Your race, class, and feats can grant you proficiency with certain Weapons or categories of Weapons.

These Weapons include clubs, maces, and other Weapons often found in the hands of commoners.

Martial Weapons, including Swords, axes, and polearms, require more specialized Training to use effectively.

Most warriors use Martial Weapons because these Weapons put their Fighting Style and Training to best use.

Proficiency with a weapon allows you to add your Proficiency Bonus to the Attack roll for any Attack you make with that weapon.

If you make an Attack roll using a weapon with which you lack proficiency, you do not add your Proficiency Bonus to the Attack roll.

Weapon Properties Many Weapons have special properties related to their use, as shown in the Weapons table.

Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition.

Drawing the Ammunition from a Quiver, case, or other container is part of the Attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon).

If you use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a melee Attack, you treat the weapon as an Improvised Weapon (see Improvised Weapons later in the section).

A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way.

Finesse When Making an Attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls.

A heavy weapons size and bulk make it too large for a Small creature to use effectively.

Loading Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of Ammunition from it when you use an action, Bonus Action, or Reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

Range A weapon that can be used to make a ranged Attack has a range in parentheses after the Ammunition or thrown property.

The first is the weapons normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapons long range.

When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the Attack roll.

Reach This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you Attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for Opportunity Attacks with it.
