All physical [[weapon]]s have one of two '''attack types''': blunt weapons, which deal damage through crushing blows that break bones and penetrate [[armor]], and edged ones, which deal damage by cutting into and slicing through foes. Edged weapons can be further broken down based on the shape of the blade, into "slashing" weapons that aim to slice into your foe, and "piercing" ones that penetrate vital organs. Some weapons have more than one attack type: for instance, the multipurpose [[short sword]] has a slashing cut, a piercing stab, and a blunt pommel strike. For a greater discussion on the properties of the weapons themselves, see [[weapon]]. | All physical [[weapon]]s have one of two '''attack types''': blunt weapons, which deal damage through crushing blows that break bones and penetrate [[armor]], and edged ones, which deal damage by cutting into and slicing through foes.

A piercing weapon is also somewhat better at going through armour than slashing weapon (though not as good as a blunt weapon), so if you don't have blunt weapon to attack an armoured foe, that [[spear]] or [[pike]] might just come in handy. |
