From Introduction:
In the world of the fantasy adventurer, life is combat. Be it through the use of swords, spells, psionics, or any other means at their disposal, all those who take up the cause of the open road and a sealed dungeon must do battle with another creature and kill it.
End of story.
Combat Options: Improvised Weapons is a sourcebook for the d20 fantasy roleplaying system and is intended as the first is a series of combat-specific material. In here, we shall dive into the tenets of the fighting arts and tread across new, optional rules and variants to the existing system in order to provide these scenes with added realism and strategy. Since all optional material provided in this book will be based on the original combat system laid down in core rulebook I, it is essential to have that book in hand.
