 +===== Improvised Weapons =====
 +
 +If you attack with something that wasn’t built to be a weapon, such as a chair or a vase, you’re making an attack with an improvised weapon. Improvised weapons are Simple Weapons. You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls with an improvised weapon. The GM determines the amount and type of damage the attack deals, if any, as well as any weapon traits that the improvised weapon should have, due to their widely varied nature. Due to this, Improvised Weapons may be light, one-handed, or two-handed, depending upon what the item is.
