Held Weapons
Damage is given first as the damage generator format, then translated into a damage range. Other factors can influence the damage amounts, as well. Most items can give 1d2 (1-2) damage when wielded. In addition to differences in damage, weapons can have a bonus or malus to their chance to hit, show in square brackets (e.g. [+1]). This makes a rapier an excellent weapon for an unskilled character; the bonus to hit allows you to be fairly effective even with no weapon skill. Included in {curly brackets} is the size of the weapon, important principally because one of your three possible weapon skill stars comes from skill with weapons of a given size.

Ranged Weapons
Most items in the game can be thrown 2 spaces, and do 1d2+0 damage. Tiny items, such as rings, only do 1 damage, and some items when thrown (such as staffs) do no damage at all. Those that do special damage when thrown or fired are listed below.
