Knights of Legend/Weapons

Each weapon has a fixed value for the minimum damage and maximum damage it can inflict; on the long run, what really matters is the average damage that a weapon can inflict. Special versions of the same weapon usually deal more damage; if so, they are noted in the tables below.

A character should be skilled in the use of a weapon in order to effectively use it. Trainers allow to increase the skill level. Not all weapons can be trained to the same level.

In the tables below, the product DxS of average Damage times maximum Skill is an estimate of how good a weapon can be. Each character starts with one or two weapon skills, and he/she can learn up to a total of four: choose wisely which weapon skills should be learned and trained!

Each weapon also has an encumbrance value, i.e. a weight. Heavier weapons are more difficult to carry and use, and the wielder will soon get fatigued is his endurance is low.
