Fresh From the Forge

A rules supplement for fantasy adventure games that revises weapons and combat, primarily for use with Old-School Essentials and similar systems using standard polyhedral dice. It introduces meaningful differences between weapon options while keeping them broadly balanced, without attempting to simulate detailed weapon physics, armour realism, striking distances, or precise dimensions.
