Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition - Weapons Chart

Version History

Version 2.0 ● April 2, 2024

Twenty-five years ago, I uploaded this page for anyone who may find it useful. Eventually, Google Analytics came along, and I was astonished to find hundreds of people (new and returning) visit this page every month! I am shocked so many people utilize this resource! The internet has changed drastically in two-and-a-half decades, and I've added Datatables functionality to make the table searchable and downloadable.

If you find this useful, check out some of my other RPG Resources, my game company (Black Falcon Games LLC), my blog, or just drop me line and let me know how you found this site and your thoughts!
