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.
Below is a list of some non-missile / non-archery weapons. All do cutting physical damage unless otherwise specified:
