-*'''[[Artillery]]''': Covers military cannons, and includes subjects like reloading, estimating ranges, setting fuse timers for shells, and spotting for indirect fire. If a ranged weapon is too large to carry, it usually falls under the Artillery Cascade.
-*'''[[Bows]]''': Whether primitive or modern, this Cascade applies to weapons with the Bow Keyword. Note that crossbows usually don’t have the Keyword—they are simpler to aim and fire, and require much less training to use effectively.
+*'''[[Bow]]s''': Whether primitive or modern, this Cascade applies to weapons with the Bow Keyword. Note that crossbows usually don’t have the Keyword—they are simpler to aim and fire, and require much less training to use effectively.
-*'''[[Exotic]]s''' (*): Unique weapon types that require specific training to use safely. Exotics have an extra effect on a Bad roll unless you have the appropriate Cascade, possibly even doing damage to yourself. If none is listed, you become Stumped.
-Each weapon is a separate Cascade, but different specific weapons which share the name are included. For example, if you learn Flails, a Heavy Flail would count as the same Exotic.
-*'''[[Firearm]]s''': Weapons which use explosive powder to fire bullets. Modern firearms use ammunition, but older weapons require you to load your powder and bullet separately.
-This Cascade provides familiarity with the firing characteristics of different weapons, quickly reloading them, and clearing jams.
-*'''[[Tactic]]s''': Represents military drilling and organizational knowledge—such as which signals order an advance and which order a retreat. Units are considered “Regular” troops and may use Formations if all  members have Tactics.
