Final Thoughts

Underkeep offers weapons for different builds and combat strategies. Strength-based characters can choose from swords, axes, and maces, while Dexterity-focused characters can choose from daggers, bows, and crossbows. Spellcasters can benefit from staves that provide Wisdom bonuses or grant additional abilities.

Pay attention to special effects when comparing weapons. Bleed, Poison, and Burn can provide damage over multiple rounds, while Freeze and Stun can interfere with enemy actions. Elemental damage and bonuses against Undead or Animals can also make certain weapons more useful in specific encounters.
