Reload(n)
This weapon takes n turns to reload. For example, a Pistol has Reload (1), and takes 1 turns to reload. Once this weapon is used, it may not be used again until reloaded. A supply of the relevant ammunition is required (e.g. shot and powder for a pistol or musket), where this is the case see the particular item description.
For each turn spent reloading, a Warrior must not be adjacent to a Monster after their movement is over, and may not perform any other actions that turn apart from move.

Armour Piercing (n)
This rule is used to denote items or equipment that is particularly suited to punching though or piercing armour. These items ignore n points of armour, simply treat the target’s Armour value as being n points lower than the original value. Note that this does not affect the target model’s Toughness or other abilities like Ignore Blow or Ignore Pain, and any special bonuses granted by the target model’s magic armour still apply (e.g. To Hit penalties etc).

Multiple Shots (n, x)
This special rule is used to denote missile weapons that can opt to have an increased rate of fire at the cost of accuracy. These weapons can be fired either once normally, or a number of time equal to n with the To Hit Penalty (x) special rule.
For example, a brace of pistols can both be fired using Multiple Shots (2, -1). Either just one pistol can be fired (using the normal rules), or both pistols can be fired in the same round for 2 shots with a -1 To Hit penalty on both shots.

Pistol
A pistol is a small black-powder-based missile weapon that can be easily aimed and fired in one hand. Pistols are so light and easy to aim that if a model is armed with two or more pistols it may fire one in each hand during its turn. When used in this way, the pistols incur the To Hit Penalty (-1) in addition to any other rules and penalties they already have.

To Hit Penalty (x)
Some hand-to-hand or missile weapons are difficult to use effectively, either because they are particularly large or heavy, or are simply awkward to use.
When using a missile weapon with this rule, the amount specified in brackets is deducted off the To Hit roll. For example, if a Barbarian with BS 5+ was using a missile weapon with To Hit Penalty (-1), then would effectively require a 6+ to hit.
Similarly, if a hand-to-hand combat weapon has a To Hit Penalty, then simply apply the penalty in the brackets to the roll made To Hit in close combat when using that weapon. For example, if the same Barbarian with WS 3 was using a Broad Sword with a To Hit Penalty (-1) to attack a Goblin with WS 2, he would effectively require a roll of 4+ To Hit.
Remember the Rule of 1 and 6! A 1 will always fail, and a 6 will always succeed.

To Hit Bonus (x)
Similarly to To Hit Penalty, the bonus specified in the brackets is added to the To Hit rolls made with the weapon.
Remember the Rule of 1 and 6! A 1 will always fail, and a 6 will always succeed.

Damage Bonus (n)
This weapon causes a number of points of extra damage equal to the number in the brackets. Simply add this number to the damage dice total right before you deduct the target model’s Toughness, Armour and other special rules like Ignore Pain.
If a dice roll is mentioned in the brackets (e.g. Damage Bonus (1d6)), then simply roll the dice specified to determine the size of the damage bonus.
If a multiplier is used between the brackets (e.g. Damage Bonus (X3)), then multiply the result shown on the Damage Dice by the amount shown before adding on any other bonuses and deducting the target model’s Toughness and Armour and so on as normal.
Remember that any multipliers must be applied before any flat bonuses, as described in the Roleplay Book page 66. So if a Warrior was using a treasure item that caused double damage (i.e. Damage Bonus (X2)) and also had a Broad Sword (effectively Damage Bonus (3)), then the damage dice would be doubled before adding the Warrior’s Strength and the +3 bonus from the Broad Sword.

Damage Penalty (n)
This works in the same way as Damage Bonus (n), except that the damage is reduced by the amount specified. Apply percentage (e.g. -25%) or fractions (1/2 damage) after applying bonus multipliers, and apply flat reductions (e.g. -1) after adding Strength and other flat bonuses.
