Reading the Equipment Lists

The culture lists include the following information:

Name: Most weapons have been described by their common AD&D equivalent, so a flamberge or zweihander is simply referred to as a two-handed sword. There are some exceptions—for example, the gladius, which is just a short sword. The individual weapon descriptions that follow the tables make note of any additional names by which the weapon is known.

Cost: Each weapon has a listed cost based on the standard AD&D monetary system. Many weapons have different costs on different tables; these are weapons that are rarer in the one setting than the other. If the weapon has a “—” for cost, it is effectively free, since it can easily be made by any character.
