![]() Creatures size small or smaller can't wield bows with a grade of 3 in either draw length or draw weight. If the table lists a value in the Creature Size column for a draw weight, a creature has disadvantage on all attack rolls with that weapon unless its size is equal to or larger than the listed size. Thus, a bow with a short draw length can have a heavy draw weight, but a bow with a long draw length can't have a light draw weight. The Draw Length and Weight Scale tables list the grades of these properties.Ī bow's draw length grade must be less than or equal to its draw weight grade. In addition, its damage dice doubles to 2d8. Increasing its weight two steps turns it into a heavy (large or smaller) weapon, while increasing its balance three steps, up to the maximum balance value for weapons, yields a two-handed (large or smaller) weapon. ![]() The longsword's weight is not listed and its balance is versatile. ![]() Due to its balance, an oversized shortsword can be wiel-ded by a large creature with one or two hands-its damage is 2d8 when used with two hands to make a melee attack. ![]() In addition, its damage dice doubles to 2d6. Increasing its weight two steps turns it into a heavy weapon, while increasing its balance three steps yields a two-handed weapon. The shortsword's weight is light and its ba-lance is finesse. An oversized handaxe can be thrown up to 60 feet by a large creature. In addition, its damage die size doubles to 1d12. Increasing its weight two steps turns it into a heavy weapon, while increasing its balance three steps yields a two-handed (large or smaller) weapon. The handaxe's weight is light with no listed ba-lance. The following are examples of how normal weapons look once they're oversized. The damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack increases by one die size (d4→d6, d6→d8, d8→d10, d10→d12). This weapon can be used with one or two hands. If your size is one step larger than the largest size in the listed range, you treat this weapon as versatile instead. A two-handed weapon requires two hands when you attack with it. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. If your size is equal to the largest size in the listed range, you do not suffer this penalty. Creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. When you attack with this weapon, you can use your choice of Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls, using the same modifier for both rolls. If a weapon does not list its balance, then its balance is finesse (large or larger). Thus, if a weapon does not list its weight, then its weight is light (large or larger). Regular weapons are tiny in the hands of large creatures. For example, a heavy weapon that does not list a size range has a weight of heavy (medium or smaller). So, if a weapon lists its weight or balance without a range of sizes, it is the lightest or most balanced version of the given value. Weapons are listed with bias for medium creatures. If a range of creature sizes appears in parentheses with the property, you only benefit or suffer from this property if your size is included in this range while wielding the weapon, un-less the property or another game effect says otherwise. The Weight and Balance Scale tables list the progression of both properties from lightest to heaviest (for weight) or most manageable to most unwieldy (for balance). Balance represents its weight distribution and ease of moving its center of mass. Weight represents the mass, size, and bulk of the weapon.
