Editing Fate of the Serpentine (section)

== Weapon classes ==

Weapons are divided into the following broad classes:

* Light weapons (+1): Dagger, shortsword, cosh, brass knuckles, self bow, etc.

* Medium weapons (+2): Sword, mace, axe, longbow, crossbow, etc.

* Heavy weapon (+3): Greatsword, maul, halberd, lance, pike, quarterstaff, arbalest, etc.

'''Weapon class and turn order'''

Weapon classes affect Fate Condensed's voluntary turn order in the following way - except in cases of surprise, where the ambusher always gets first shot/blow:

* Missile weapons and Sorcery always go first.

* On first round, weapons go in order of their class: 3, 2, 1. This is to reflect the reach of heavier weapons and pole arms. 

* On subsequent rounds, the order is: 2, 3, 1. This is to reflect how cumbersome heavy weapons are to wield at close quarters.

* Within each class, combatants Attack in order of their Athletics. Ties mean simultaneous Attacks.
