Originally, swords were little more than long knives with
blades of copper and bronze. With the technological advances
of iron smelting, however, swords became more powerful and
practically ubiquitous. Swords are the primary
hand-to-hand weapon of most warriors, be they Roman soldiers
or barbarian berserkers. History and legend are replete with a
number of famous and magical swords — Arthur’s Excalibur,
Siegfried’s Balmung and Caesar’s Crocea Mors. For nearly a
millennium, swords remained the dominant weapon of the
warrior class and the wealthy. However, the advent of gunpowder
would change all that, and by the 16th century, swords
began a slow fade. They’re still produced in this modern age,
but mostly as items of vanity or ceremony

Blunt weapons are the simplest and most straightforward
weapons available to characters. One character
might bludgeon another with a wooden board, a crowbar,
a combat mace, a nightstick or a walking stick. The
functions of the blunt weapon are to cause bruises, break
bones and crack heads

| Shard Hammer | 4(B) | 3/N | 5* | ••• | D | A••, O•• | One use. Reduces Diamond armor by 2 |
Axes and hammers were tools before they were weapons,
but over time, their value in battle became clear. While generally
unwieldy, axes and hammers could bring tremendous
damage in the hands of the strong. Hammers could break
bones and crumple armor, while axes could cleave through
the vulnerable joints in mail suits, thus lopping off arms, legs,
even heads. Axes and hammers may not have required the
finesse of a proper swordsman, but these brutal devices did
not demand that level of grace to draw blood.
| Moon-Ax* | 3(L) | 3/N | 3 | •• | D,A | O• | +1 to hit and removes targeted limbs on held opponents |

A polearm is, simply, a weapon mounted upon a long
pole. Spears are daggers atop a pole, and halberds are axes.
Polearms — specifically the spear and quarterstaff
— have been used as hunting and fishing weapons for
thousands of years. Over time, however, the advantage a
polearm provides in combat became clear. With a polearm,
a warrior may keep his opponents at a greater distance while
still doing harm to them. The foe cannot close in to make
an attack, but the warrior with the spear or the staff can
still stab, slash or pummel the foe from afar. It is for this
reason that, unless otherwise noted, all polearms grant the
bearer a +1 Defense
