Alright, so the following categories CAN be a weapon ikon:
-One that deals piercing or slashing damage
-A ranged weapon
-A weapon in the sword or knife weapon group
-A weapon in the polearm or spear group, plus a few stave types
-A melee weapon in the club, hammer, or axe groups
So what does this list exclude?
Flails and fisticuffs, mostly.
A probably slightly incorrect and non-exhaustive list:
Fist (makes sense, tbh), Gauntlet, Knuckle Duster, Poi, Combat Lure, Flail, Meteor Hammer, Monkey's Fist, Pantograph Gauntlet, Sansetsukon, Shield Bash, Shield Boss, War Flail, Dwarven Dorn-Dergar, Fire Poi, Gnome Flickmace, Wrecker.
Now, a lot of those are kinda weird weapons: I'm looking at you Fire Poi.
But some of them are pretty normal weapons that the playtest exemplar just can't use, like the war flail and meteor hammer.
I feel like this is probably just an oversight, but it is what it is for now.
edit- I flagged this for moving to the playtest thread. Probably better served there.
