New Weapon System
by Angelo BertolliThis system is based on the premise that characters may try to use weapons either 1 handed or 2 handed, and may have some amount of success. Wherever the damage is not applicable (n/a) it means the damage would be the same or it is impossible to use the weapon this way. The number in parenthesis is the bonus to hit roll.

* Damage of the ammunition multiplier. DM can optionally consider 1d3 x2 to be 1d6, etc.
** A Lance 1-handed mounted from a horse does 2d8 (+0), charging for 4d8 (+0)
*** As regular bow of same type +1
Optional: This is another option in which ANY class can try to use ANY weapon. If the class is restricted from using that weapon, they receive a -2 to hit, and do half damage.
