Editing Weapons (section)

= Introduction =
Generally, lighter and smaller weapons are faster, but heavier and larger weapons do much more damage. Heavier weapons hit harder but slower, so it is up to each player to decide whether to use large or small weapons; larger races tend to use larger weapons, the biggest ones even use greatswords one-handed. However, balance is usually the key here.

It is usually a good idea to use one weapon for offense and a shield for defense, or two offensive weapons if you think you can take a few hard hits and still fight effectively - or if you happen to be a ranger.

Every wieldable weapon has several properties which affects to several different things in combat. This help file covers the most common attributes of weapons.
