Just some weapons that are made to seem like innocent objects. These are largely not going to be fit for straight up battle but are simply meant for situations where carrying swords or axes might not be acceptable.
Innocuous - Weapons with this quality do not appear to be weapons on first glance. In many cases they are based on other objects but reinforced so that they can withstand some small amount of combat.
The wielder may gain a surprise action by making a Charisma(Deception) check vs the opponent's Wisdom(Insight), passive if the target isn't actively looking for danger, or a roll if the target is watching carefully.
Weapons lose this quality after five consecutive rounds of combat until a short or long rest is completed so that the owner can repair any damage and clean any marks that betray its use as a weapon. On an attack roll of 1, it loses this quality and major repairs or replacements equal to half the cost of the weapon will be required to regain the Innocuous quality.
