Archery, Fencing, Mace Fighting, and Swordsmanship each have specific weapons with differing speeds and damage ratings. No one weapons skill is inherently superior to another; the choice of weapons skill is largely dependent on player preference.
Weapons are split into four classifications based on weight: Interrupt, Light, Medium, and Heavy. Each weapon has a specific equation that determines its base damage roll. This is NOT to be confused with final damage- this base roll is the first part of the combat sequence and many other factors, including armor and chance, affect the final damage dealt. In the tables below, each weapon has an effective minimum base roll, effective maximum base roll, and average base roll.
