Weird & Wonderful Weapon Hack 2.0: Phantasmos Version

Given the positive reception towards my Weird & Wonderful Weapon Hack, I've decided to make a new version! This version contains new Qualities unique to the Phantasmos setting,  but I'm also changing a few rules from the original hack. I think many of the Phantasmos-specific Qualities could be re-worded to be more generic, but many of the new Qualities are generic and mundane. For the Phantasmos-specific Qualities, some good points of reference would be the Materials, Character Classes, and Crafted Items tables.

Also, I've beefed up the auto-generators! In addition to randomly generating a base form or a single quality, there is now a generator to generate a full weapon with a random base form and any number of Qualities of each cost! It still needs more work (which will hopefully be in the 3.0 version), but for now I think it's pretty cool!

EDIT: I recently posted a table of 20 Unique Weapons, generated using this hack! Each weapon additionally has a plot hook written for it, the idea being that any of these weapons could have a whole adventure told around them!

Rule Changes

• Ranged Qualities separated and rules changed.
• Renamed or reworked some of the original Qualities.
• Added a bunch of new Qualities!

Auto-Generators

Select individual qualities:

Generate Full Weapon
NOTE1: Meridian Metal and Sentient Qualities removed since they have variable costs and other considerations.
NOTE2: Currently will only sample any given Quality once, so Qualities that can be stacked would need to be done manually.
NOTE3: Currently does not account for Qualities that have prereqs, so either ignore or manually replace.
NOTE4: I'm sure there are some bugs, so please let me know if you find any!
Number of 0 Cost Qualities:
Number of 1 Cost Qualities
Number of 2 Cost Qualities
Number of 3 Cost Qualities
NOTE: Currently the only 3 Cost Quality is Siege
