[Weapons]

Here is a list of weapons and descriptions to help you pick your fighting style. Your fighting style is, of course, not limited to these suggestions.

We are always up for suggestions to add to the list.

Sword
Longsword, short sword, broad or foil, all dangerous, deadly, and in custody of a swordsman. If one decides to follow this lifestyle, it is common for them to own one sword and possibly a dagger or two for backup.

Dual Swords
The possession of two swords, used commonly in battle. Together they make an impressive defense. It takes a large amount of dexterity and training to wield twin blades in battle without cutting off a limb or two. An impressive way to fight.

Heavy Blade
These swords are the really huge blades you see those ripped cartoon guys lug around. An enormous amount of strength is required to carry, let alone wield one in battle. These swords can get ridiculously large.

Rapier
A relatively slender, sharply pointed sword, used mainly for thrusting attacks. Most have very detailed hilts.

Dagger
Stilettos, dirks, kitchen knives, any kind of small blade falls into this category. These are the more stealthy weapons, common to assassins and those favoring anonymity when killing.

Dual Daggers
A set of two daggers, used commonly in battle. Fun to watch.

Throwing Knives
Throwing blades in any kind of manner is considered throwing knives. Used for range approaches, surprise attacks or distractions.

Throwing Stars
Similar to throwing knifes though they have many blades shaped into a star. Usually from 3 to 6 blades per star.

Short bow
More commonly used for hunting, this bow, though powerful, does not generate considerable velocity rates. In plain talk, they don't go far. Some prefer it for it's convenience, nobody like to lug around a bow bigger than they are. Also favored for short-range killing.

Long bow
These are the bows that can get to be half a body taller than the person wielding them. Used for momentum, distance and power, common to a large battlefield. The archers tend to carry another form of protection in case someone gets too close to shoot.

Recurved bows
These bows are as small as a short bow, but they are as powerful as a longbow. The curved part helps generate resistance to aid the power levels. This bow creates a smart liaison between the convenience of size and power.

Cross bow
Heavier, but very powerful, good at boring through armor. Good at short range. Takes longer to reload, but can stay loaded for as long as needed.

Martial arts
Whether it's just knowing how to throw a good punch, or years of study of the human body, martial arts can be as or more deadly than any other form of weaponry.

Staff
A stick or pole used mostly to block opponents. Also can also be used to ground magic attacks.

Assembly Staff
A staff broke into many pieces. The pieces make the staffs easier to carry and easier to hide. It can be a disadvantage in battle due to the time it takes to assemble. Some times range from 5 seconds to 30 minutes. Most can be used with magic but they have a more likely tendency to unstable the magic.

Bladed Staff
A staff with a blade attacked to the end. Usually made of a kind of metal because it helps support the blade better then wood.

Trident
A three pronged staff. As a weapon, it is prized for its long reach and ability to trap other long-weapons between prongs to disarm their wielder. Similar to a pitchfork in design, though the prongs may have barbed ends.

Spear
A staff with a sharped pointed tip. Tip may be made out of the same or a different material. Usually removable to make sharpening easier.

Battle Axe
A two handed axe, too large for single handed use, capped with a double bladed top. Sharpened to cut a feather, and extremely heavy.
