Inscribed
The weapon has some kind of inscription on it. It could be meaningful, or total nonsense.

Practice
The weapon is for training purposes and is not meant to be lethal. The damage becomes d4 regardless of what kind of weapon it is.

Crude
The weapon appears to be crafted in a rush or by primitive methods. While it works just fine, it looks like a piece of junk.

Sinister
The weapon is scary looking, or has some kind of creepy decoration. You will spook commoners carrying something like this around.

Worn-Out
The weapon is a hand-me-down, was scavenged, or is otherwise very old and battered and it shows.

Foreign
The weapon came from another place, and looks kind of weird.

Fancy
The weapon is elaborately decorated. Worth double the asking price, but makes you a target of pick-pockets.

Ancient
The weapon is from another age, dug out of the ground of pilfered from ruins. Is of great interested to historians and collectors.

Gigantic
The weapon was crafted for a humongous person. Damage is considered to be die step higher, but only if you have 12 or more STR. Otherwise, all attacks are impaired.

Mediocre
Nothing special about this weapon at all.
