Beautiful presentation. Lots of small details that can be used as a part of the whole or individually to your game.

What a great alternative to having to toss about endless magic weapons and armour. This not only makes non-magical arms and armour relevent again but gives players a chance to customize their gear without unbalancing the game.

This is an awesome supplement!!! Everything is amazing from the mechanics, artwork, layout, and its overall quality!!! Definitely a step up on standard 5E weapons and armor and doesnt create an imbalance in your game.

great product with well thought out concepts and amazing art. 5 stars

Bought this with a discount code that was posted on social media and well worth the price. The armoursmith cleric in the campaign as well as the rest of team platemail like that it opens up a bunch of overlooked but beneficial concepts, accessories, and minor enchants. As a DM, i like that its balanced and tested, i dont need to spend time with it, just let the players use it as official.

Absolutley must have for your DnD 5e adventures! The quality of art and content of the Pdf are amazing! I can tell that so much work whent into detail, it feels like an apple product in terms of quality. They also extensively tested it for 2 years using monte-carlo simulations to make sure that the upgrades were not over powered. At first glance the upgrades look balanced. Adding game mechanics for upgrading weapons and armor, gives your players something to spend their earned cash on and really creates more depth to your DnD games. Look very much forward to the upcoming alchemy almanac!!!

This piece is fantastic.

It takes the incredibly stripped down armour system in 5th edition, pulls it out and polishes it to a shine.

The worry with supplemental systems for things like armour is that you'll end up with something unwieldy or overly complex. The Armorer's Handbook feels like it could have been slipped right into the Player's Handbook and the only reason people would notice a difference is because it's better organised.

As someone who dips their toe in game design it delights me to see how much work went into refining and polishing this. A must buy.

The layout, well done. The math, solid. The Armorer's Handbook, well worth it. Sticking to the simplicity of 5e while still expanding and adding ways for character's to invest in their equipment, with meaningful results and desireable outcomes, this is an absolute must-have. The Rune magic system, carried down in tradition from the Giants of old, provides a bridge between the mundane equipment of the lower levels to the powerful magic weapons and armor of legendary heros at the later levels. Giving players a way to be active in their pursuit of cool gear and increase their agency in a game which is just as much theirs as it is the DMs is only part of what makes this a great product. The execution, presentation, and research poured into this product shows, from its design to the carefully presented and balanced upgrade system.

I cannot express all the things I enjoy about this product, and I am glad to see it jump from Mithril to Adamantine. I am excited for more products from Heavyarms and what they will bring to my table next.

At the time of writing, this is the best thing on the Guild hands down.

This product is just fantastic and the runes enhancements are absolutly awesom .

The unquestionably professional presentation and design are both such that this could easily be an official sourcebook from Wizards of the Coast! The layout and artwork are simply beautiful, and the author's attention to both mechanics and balance is unparralelled. Moreover, the inclusion of design methodology at the end gives a DM full confidence in the balance of the design - and total comfort allowing it at the table.

Fantastic system. Allows players to modify their equipment to keep up without outpacing magic items. The system is simple enough that it wont bog down gameplay, and useful enough that players will want to spend their hard earned blood money on.

Fantastic supplement that compliments existing mechanics.

Great system that is fun for both the DM and players. I like that it gives the players meaningful choices about what to spend their money on in terms of upgrades but also other options. I also like to give enemies weapons with tags to make it feel like it is something everyone can do.

The whole thing was well thought out, and designed to make super-weapons possible, yet not magical, nor are they cheap. Worth every penny in the price tag.

Also, really looking forward to the alchemy and herbalism section. I tried to do homebrew something like that for my table, and it just.... didn't work. But I still want to implement it into my games. If it's even half as good as this book, then it would be better than anything I could create

This is a wonderful product that increases a player’s agency, gives players a money-sink, and reduces a DM’s overhead. Couple that with topnotch production and this one is a no-brainer. You want this product.
