Armor and Weapons #

Sleep while wearing armor is impossible and further donning armor takes considerable time, enough that if a camp is ambushed it is likely impossible to do so before combat begins. A character rising from sleep can arm themselves with two of the following within a single combat round a weapon, a quiver, a helm, or a shield.

A character fighting unarmed deals their Thews modifier in damage with a successful attack.

Thrown weapons deal 1d6 only in damage, but thrown spears add their wielder’s Thews modifier to damage. With exception to daggers, thrown weapons have a range of 20m indoors and 30m outdoors. Daggers may be thrown up to 10m.
