== Notes ==

===On Traits===
Traits are intentionally light. They exist to give flavor and small tactical edges without slowing play.

===On Brutality=== 
Axes, maces, and certain curved blades are marked '''Brutal''' to reflect the savage, bone-breaking violence common in the Young Kingdoms.

===On Reach=== 
Spears and polearms dominate at distance. In open ground, they are often the deciding factor.

===On Melnibonéan Weapons===  
Some weapons—especially those of Melniboné—may possess additional, unnatural qualities at the GM’s discretion.
