Weapons

The importance of Weapons depends on an adventurer's class. Some classes rely heavily on the use of weapons while others have built-in weapons such as a monk's ability to use the hands as fists.

There are different types of weapons, each with varying statistics of damage, to-hit, and speed. Weapons are crafted by those classed with the skill of forging with the use of various commodities.
