Weapon Mastery is a brand new mechanic in Dungeon & Dragons, and is included within the core guidelines of the sport with the publication of the Participantβs Handbook (2024), a revision of the unique fifth version guidelines from 2014. Weapon Mastery is a characteristic of some Courses that modifies your weapon assaults β both with further harm or by affecting your goal in another means.
Our 2024 D&D Weapon Mastery information will clarify how Weapon Mastery works and what characters can use it.
D&D 5e 2024 Mastery properties
All weapons in D&D now have a Mastery Property. These are listed in gear tables and weapon descriptions. In case your Class offers you the Weapon Mastery characteristic (extra on this beneath) and you’ve got proficiency with the weapon youβre utilizing, youβll get to make use of the Mastery Property of that weapon with every assault (as soon as per flip).
Courses with Weapon Mastery in D&D 5e 2024
5 of the 12 Courses get the Weapon Mastery characteristic. Barbarians, Paladins, Rangers, and Rogues get to decide on two weapons that they will use the Mastery Property with. Fighters get to choose three.
The one caveat is that you should have proficiency with the weapon(s) you select.
Feats for Weapon Mastery in D&D 5e 2024
Should you donβt get Weapon Mastery out of your Class, there’s one different technique to get it β when you hit Degree 4. And thatβs by taking the Weapon Grasp feat.
Weapon Grasp (Degree 4 or larger) β it is a basic feat, so any class can take it any time that class grants an Means Rating Enchancment. (It is because youβre truly getting the Means Rating Enchancment Feat and you’ll swap it out for one more.)
