Weapons
Weapons are used when making attack actions and come in two variants: melee weapons and ranged weapons. A fighter may be equipped with up to two melee weapons and one ranged weapon.
Dual Wielding
If a fighter is equipped with two melee weapons of the same type (for example, two swords), they are considered to be dual wielding. While a fighter is dual wielding, improve the Attack characteristic of the weapon they are using by 1.
Unarmed fighters
A fighter that isn't equipped with any melee weapon is considered to be unarmed, and uses the Unarmed weapon profile.
Natural Weapons
Some fighters (such as beasts) cannot be equipped with weapons, and instead have natural weapons listed directly on their fighter profile, representing claws, jaws, and other physical features.
