Complete weapon tables including melee, missile, and thrown weapons.

IMS Calculator

Select your character's Power and a weapon to calculate Incidental, Mark, and Superb damage. Extra successes over the obstacle push damage through the IMS stages based on the weapon's Add.

IMS Calculator

Incidental
B2
Meet Ob
Mark
B4
+2 over Ob
Superb
B6
+4 over Ob

Formula: Power B4 + Weapon Power 0 = B4. I = ⌈4/2⌉ = 2, M = 4, S = ⌊4×1.5⌋ = 6.

Add 2: Extra successes over obstacle go to damage. 2 extra → Mark, 4 extra → Superb. Remaining successes can aim the blow.

Melee Weapons

Pow = Power (added to character's Power for IMS). Add = extra successes needed to escalate damage. WS = Weapon Speed (max consecutive Strikes). VA = Versus Armor (added to armor test Ob). WL = Weapon Length. X = unlimited Weapon Speed.
