One Handed Swords

A symbol of warfare, the sword is less of a hunting weapon and more of a military tool.

Depending upon the style of the sword it should be used as a thrusting weapon or a slashing weapon.

Small thrusting swords are more easily manipulated giving the wielder a higher bonus to parry and critical strikes but dealing lower base damage.

Sabres weigh more toward the offensive scope at the cost of defensive capabilities. Topographically, sabres are one sided slashing weapons.

Arming swords are generally thicker, double sided, and comes to a thrusting point.

The thickness of the blade gives arming swords the ability to deflect most attacks while their double sided blade and thrusting point gives them an offensive versatility that is nearly unparalleled by any other weapon. It may go without saying, but arming swords may deal either slashing or piercing damage depending on the style of attack. Arming swords give equal bonuses to attack and defense.
