Melee Weapons Chart

Weapon Damage Conceal
Sap+ Strength +1 P
Club Strength +2 T
Knife Strength +1 J
Sword Strength +2 T
Axe Strength +3 N


  • + Denotes a weapon that inflicts bashing damage.
  • These are rough values, individual weapons may deviate from the norm, but this chart should serve as a suitable guide for most quick-and-dirty melee weapon needs.

Armor Chart

Class Armor Rating Penalty Notes
Class One (reinforced clothing) 1 0 B/L Protects against physical attacks.
Class Two (armor T-shirt) 2 1 B/L Protects against physical attacks.
Class Three (Kevlar vest) 3 1 B/L/A Protects against physical attacks.
Class Four (flak jacket) 4 2 B/L/A Protects against physicals and directed energy attacks.
Class Five (full riot gear) 5 3 B/L/A Protects against physicals, energy, and fire.


  • All armor on From The Ashes: Detroit By Night will be given an armor value, an action penalty, and in many cases a list of damage types the armor will protect. Many armors will have different values against different damage types. The table provided here is intended as a guideline. Armor dice are rolled in addition to stamina dice if the damage being taken is of a type that the character wearing it may normally soak. Armor dice are rolled alone, even against damage types that the armor stops but that the wearer may not soak.
