Weapon FX System (1 Page Addon)

This system is designed to be plugged into any OSR game that uses dice of various sizes for weapons. The goals of this system are:

• Give players reason to pick weapons that have smaller damage dice, to expand their options

• Give players rolling low damage a boost as a form of comeback mechanic

• Add tactical depth to combat

Any time a player rolls a 1 on a damage roll, they inflict damage (1+modifiers) and choose one of the listed effects to activate.

If a player is unhappy with their damage roll, they can spend 1 Control to either reroll the damage dice or set it to 1. Control is a weapon stat and resets every encounter/combat.
