Fancy Weapon

Fancy Weapons are tiered fluff-scripted weapons designed by GM Jainna and the winners of the August 2012 Premium contest. They were released for the Return to Coraesine Field event in 2013. The script supports most weapon types. Some messaging changes according to the weapon's profile; the examples below use a broadsword for bladed weapons, maul for hafted weapons, bow for ranged weapons, sai for hilted brawling weapons, and blackjack for miscellaneous brawling weapons.
