reignWeapons each have three qualities, analogous (IIRC) to Unknown Armies' big/heavy/penetrating classification system. The twist is, there are advantages to having weapons be small, light and blunt. E.g. a a light weapon gives you an Initiative bonus. 

Let's see what comes up.

Is the weapon...

Possible qualities
1 Big: (Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, VERY large)
2 Heavy: (Feather, Light, Average, Hefty, DAMN!)
3 Sharp: (Blunt, Edged, Sharp, Razor Sharp, Keen)
4 Long: (Stubby, Close, Arm's Length, Out There, Projectile)
5 Spiky: (Smooth, Nubbins, Ridges, Thorny, Porqupine)
6 Cumbersome: (Nothing, Manageable, Portable, Inconvenient, Awkward)
7 Tricky: (Easy, Ages 10+, Flat-Pack Furniture, Degree, Advanced Degree)
8 Strong: (Disposable, Scrawny, Average, Solid, Indestructable)
9 Bleeder: (Papercut, Shaving Knick, Gash, Slashed, "Sucking")
10 Versatility: (Useless, Few things, Useful, Tool-like, Swiss Army Approved.
HEAVY?

  • No --- its attacks are timed as if 1 Wider. We'll call this "Quick."
  • Yes --- +1 Damage
  • Hell Yes +2 Damage (Slow 1)

BIG?

  • No --- conceal/draw
  • Yes --- +1S Damage
  • Hell Yes --- +2S Damage (Slow 1)

PENETRATING?

  • Yes --- its base damage is WK
  • No --- its base damage is W+1S

Optional Rule: LONG?

  • No --- easy to conceal

Okay, let's try it out!

BRICK: Heavy, not big, not penetrating = W+3S, Easy Draw
DAGGER: Penetrating, not heavy, not big = WK, Quick, Easy Draw
