+'''Weapons''' are objects that are wielded for the specific purpose of inflicting damage on others. The importance of using weapons depends very much on an [[adventurers|adventurer's]] [[class]]. Some classes rely heavily on the use of weapons, while others have little to no use for them, given their own "built-in" capabilities, such as the ability for [[Monk|Monks]] to use their hands and feet effectively as weapons instead.
+There are many different types of weapons, each with varying statistics of damage, to-hit, and speed. In addition to these inherent statistics, the usefulness of any particular weapon is also affected by the adventurer's [[skill rank]] in [[Weaponry]]. Weapons can be further enhanced through use of the [[augmentation]] [[enchantment]].
+Weapons can be crafted from various [[commodities]] by those with the [[:Category:Skills|skill]] of [[Forging]]. A list of those forged weapons follows; all are cutting damage unless indicated otherwise.

+;Broadsword   : Cousin to the longsword.
+;Club         : The weapon of the very poor. (blunt damage)
