Improvised Weapon

In the heat of the moment, you might wish to attack with an object that isn't a traditional weapon — hitting someone with a pot, swinging a shortbow like a staff, or hurling a bottle. If you can pick an object up in one or both hands, you can use it as an improvised weapon. The GM decides which non-special weapon it is most similar to, and you make the attack as though with that weapon, but with the Fragile trait.

gavelSpecial Rules

When you attack with an improvised weapon, the GM decides which non-special light or heavy weapon it is most similar to. Make the attack as though with that weapon, but add the Fragile trait. If you have the Improvised Weapons expertise, your improvised weapon attacks benefit from the expert traits of the similar weapon.
