Feels like all those swords, hammers and axes all work the same?
Feels like bows and staves need some love?
Feels like there's no reason to go dual wand rather than wand + shield?
This is the mod for you.

This mod introduces several key features to various weapon types. Swords and hammers are no longer the same. Crossbows are not always stronger than Bows. Staves are pretty nice too.

Version 2 is now available! (You can still choose to download version 1 if you want to)

Version 2.1 Update:
Spear special attack skill: 2AP, 2 turns cooldown. Deals 110% weapon damage as piercing damage to target!

1h club: Big damage fluctuation. For those who like to gamble on their damage output

2 hand weapons:
2h sword: No change. Highest consistent damage output (without Crit) of all 3 two-handed weapons.
2h Axe: Give bonus crit chance and EVEN more crit damage (160%). But accuracy is reduced by 5%.
2h club: Heavy weapon for tanks. Huge damage fluctuation. Heavy and sturdy so they give movement speed penalty but increased Preservance.

2h skill All In now deals increased damage in AOE.
