Weapon Damage Type Ratios: -- Ranged ammo incorrect since rework.

New page

'''Edged Weapons''' ('''OHE''') are some of the most common [[Melee|melee]] weapons in [[Elanthia]]. They're easy and require little training to use, as evidenced by training point costs. The various one-handed edged weapons are the [[backsword]], [[bastard sword]], [[broadsword]], [[dagger]], [[estoc]], [[falchion]], [[handaxe]], [[longsword]], [[main gauche]], [[rapier]], [[scimitar]], and [[short sword]]. Two hybrid weapons that require training in OHE include the [[katar]] and [[katana]].

== Max Ranks and Training Point costs ==
{{skill|
| Bardranks = 2 || Bardcost = 3/1
| Clericranks = 1 || Clericcost = 6/1
| Empathranks = 1 || Empathcost = 6/2

==Weapon Damage Type Ratios==

This table contains the edged weapon [[critical]] [[#category:damage types|damage type]] percentage for successful attacks (based on player research). As an example, the dagger will result in 62.5% [[puncture critical table|puncture critical damage]] and 37.5% [[slash critical table|slash critical damage]] on average for all attacks, or a puncture to slash damage ratio of 5 to 3. Daggers do not do [[crush critical table|crush critical damage]].

Note: Because of smallish sample sizes for determining some of these percentages, they may not be precise in all cases, but should be close enough to give a decent representation of the damage ratios.
