Halberd: A long polearm with a sharpened blade at the tip. Great for keeping the opponents at long range. Measure 10 feet in length and is surprisingly light. Requires 700 Dexterity.
Cost: $800

Dagger: A short, easily concealed blade. Extremely light, anyone can wield it. It's drawback is its short range. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Katana: A lightweight Japanese sword once used by Samurai. Surprisingly durable, they were once used by Japan's Samurai. It is a good close range weapon, but useless at long range. Can be dual wielded. Requires 500 Dexterity.
Cost: $750

Naginata: Resembling a Halberd, the Naginata is slightly shorter but sports a long blade which curves upward from the end of it's long, flexible, bamboo pole. It is quite light, and as such, most can wield it effectively. Requires 700 Dexterity.
Cost: 1,000

Guan Dao: The choice weapon of famous Chinese warrior Guan Yu. It is a long Naginata with a dragon design wrapping around it's long grip and a highly ornate blade. Unfortunately, it is quite heavy. Requires 1,500 Dexterity.
Cost: $2,500

Basic Sword: Your basic European sword. Measures somewhere between 3 and 4 feet in length with a blade sharpened on both sides. Easily weilded by most, creating a weapon that is good both offensively and defensively. Requires 500 Dexterity.
Cost: $500

Scimitar: A medium length blade of middle eastern design, the blade curves upward at it's tip and is not suited for stabbing, but can parry another blade beautifully. Quite light and best suited for defense. Can be dual wielded. Requires 500 Dexterity.
Cost: $850

Scythe: A long pole with a curving blade jutting outward from one end. An ideal weapon for attacking and opponent as it is hard to block, but too clumsy to adequately defend one's self. Requires 750 Dexterity.
Cost: $850

Staff: A long and surprisingly heavy wooden pole. It is suited for defense as well as keeping the opponents at a range. Measuring 10 feet in length, it can keep an enemy out of attack range quite well. Unfortunately, its lack of a blade makes it hard to use offensively.
Cost: $750

Rapier: A long blade used by fencers. It is easy to block with and quite effective at poking one's opponent, but, with no cutting edges, its offensive capabilities are limited. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Glaive: A glaive is a polearm consisting of a single-edged blade on the end of a pole. It is similar to the Japanese Naginata. However, instead of having a tang like a sword or Naginata, the blade is affixed in a socket-shaft configuration similar to an axe head. Typically, the blade was around 18 inches long, on the end of a pole 6 or 7 feet long. Well suited for both offense and defense. Requires 1,000 Dexterity.
Cost: $2,000

War Fork: A military fork is a pole weapon. Unlike a trident used for fishing, the military fork was rarely barbed and normally only consisted of two tines (prongs) which were made straight compared to its pitchfork parent's. The pair usually ran parallel or slightly flared. Proficient in offense and defense, but excelling in neither. Requires 600 Dexterity.
Cost: $1,000

Partisan: A partisan (also partisan) is a type of polearm that was used in Europe during medieval times. It consisted of a spear or lance head that was constructed as a small double headed axe built into the lower blade mounted on a pole of 6-7 feet. Proficient in offense and defense, but excelling in neither. Requires 650 Dexterity.
Cost: $850

War Hammer: A war hammer is an archaic weapon of war intended for close combat, the design of which resembles the hammer. The war hammer consists of, like the tool it resembles, a handle and a head. The handle may be of different lengths, the longest being roughly equivalent to the halberd, and the shortest about the same as a mace. A long curved spike, usually around a foot in length, protruded from the hilt. Proficient in defense, but with a decent offense. Can be dual wielded. Requires 500 Dexterity.
Cost: $1,000

Spear: A spear is an ancient weapon used for hunting and war, consisting of a shaft, usually of wood, with a steal head. The head was long and usually serrated. It is difficult to use in close combat, but quite deadly outside of 5 feet. This particular model is 10 feet in length, including the 3 foot blade. Requires 700 Dexterity.
Cost: $1,000

Sickle: A sickle is a curved, hand-held agricultural tool typically used for harvesting grain crops before the advent of modern harvesting machinery. It consists of a curved blade with a short, one-hand handle attached. The inside of the curve is sharp. It is quite useful in close range combat situations. It is difficult to block blows with, but it's blows are equally hard to block. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Machete: The machete is a cleaver-like tool that looks like a very large knife. The blade is typically 50-60 cm (18-24 in) long, usually with a thin blade under 3mm thick. It is well suited for both offense and defense. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $750

Zweihänder: The Zweihänder (German for "two hander", also spelled Zweihander) or Bidenhänder, is a massive two-handed sword, designed to capitalize on brute force and shock effect, at the expense of some finesse. Exceptional in offense and defense, but difficult to use. Requires 1,500 Dexterity.
Cost: $5,000

Sai: The sai (釵) is a weapon found prominently in Okinawa, with evidence of similar weapons in India, China and Indonesia, often believed to be an agricultural tool once used to measure stalks, plow fields, or to hold cart wheels in place though the evidence for this is limited. Its basic form is that of an unsharpened dagger, with two long, unsharpened projections (tsuba) attached to the handle. Well suited for offense in defense, but with an exceptionally short range. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $300 for one, $500 for two.

Kama: The Kama are Okinawan and Chinese weapons that resemble traditional farming devices similar to a small sickle. The sickle, implemented as a redesigned weapon form, was called a natagama. They had straight hilts with the blade protruding from one end. Excellent offense, but lacking defensively. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500 for a pair.

Battle Axe: A battle axe is an axe specifically designed as a weapon. Battle axes are essentially specialized versions of utility axes. Many are suitable for use single handedly and others so large that they were wielded two-handed. Axes designed for war range in weight from just over 1lb to 6lbs, and in length from just over a foot to upwards of five feet. Great offense and adequate defense.
Cost: $500 for the shot model (2.5 feet) Can be dual wielded. Requires 500 Dexterity.
$1,000 for poleaxe (6 foot pole) Cannot be dual wielded. Requires 700 Dexterity.

Dao: Dao is a category of single-edge Chinese swords primarily used for slashing and chopping. This particular model includes a 3 foot blade. Good offense in defense. Can be dual wielded. Requires 500 Dexterity.
Cost: $500

Kodachi: This Japanese sword was too short to be considered a long sword but too long to be a dagger. The length of the blade was approximately a foot-and-a-half long (fifteen inches), and the length of the hilt was variable. Because of its size and light weight, it could be drawn and swung extremely fast making it excellent for short range offense and defense. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $750

Brass Knuckles: Also sometimes called knucks or knuckle dusters (more common in British English), are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. Basically, brass knuckles are pieces of metal, usually steel despite their name, shaped to fit around the knuckles. They are designed to deliver the force of punches through a smaller and harder contact area, resulting in greater tissue disruption and increased likelihood of fracturing the victim's bones on impact. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $250 for a set.

-NEW-

Throwing Daggers: A set of lightweight daggers, designed for throwing at either long or short range, in quick succession. They have a fairly thin blade - excellent for penetrating the skin, due to the low pressure the edge of the blade creates. The only drawback is that they are made from a softer metal than most blades are. Approximately 11cm in blade length and 19cm in total length. Useless in defense, but great for offense. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500 for a set of 4

Double-Sided Throwing Dagger: This is a double-edged form of the Throwing Daggers. This means that accuracy when throwing isn't as important, but makes these weapons lethal in the sense that, if a throw is aimed and performed correctly, the blows could cause fatal injuries. They are 25cm in total length, and slightly heavier than the Throwing Daggers, but still create the same low pressure when the blade makes contact. The metal they are made from is a little harder than the Throwing Daggers, but still relatively soft. Useless in defense, but great for offense. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $750 for a set of 2

Interceptor: A weapon which fits over the knuckles, with three small 'daggers' protruding from it. Excellent for close range fighting, and have an optimum grip on them, making it extremely easy for this weapon to be plunged into the stomach of your opponent, and cause moderate injury and bleeding. A decent weapon for both defense and offense, though defense possibly moreso. Each blade is approximately 12cm in length. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Basic Wooden Club: A primitive yet heavy and firm weapon. This is rather similar to a shaped lump of wood, but strong, heavy and quite durable. The more basic varieties of sword would not be able to cut through it easily, though the more demanding varieties may not see it as too much of an obstacle. Approximately 2 feet in length, and 8 inches in width/depth. This is a fairly good weapon in offense, as it can cause some minor or serious concussions, depending on the strength behind it. It is more suited to defense against smaller weapons.Cost: $1,000 Requires 700 Dexterity.

Iron Club: A slightly more advanced version of the Basic Wooden Club. This weapon is heavy in weight, and could possibly be rather tricky to wield. However, it's sheer weight, size and the fact that it is a solid metal club, gives it the potential to cause dramatic damage. This could easily crush a skull, if enough effort is used to wield it. Roughly the same size as the Basic Wooden Club, and similar in shape. Cost:$1,500 Requires 800 Dexterity.

Spiked Wooden Club: A model of the Basic Wooden Club which has spikes protruding from most of its surface area, apart from the handle. As well as inflicting roughly the same damage as the Basic Wooden Club, the
advantage of this weapon is that the spikes protruding from it can increase the damage considerably. If wielded correctly, this weapon could be bad news for the opponent. A disadvantage is that it is difficult to retrieve after use. A good weapon in both offense and defense. Cost: $2,000 Requires 1,000 Dexterity.

Spiked Iron Club: Another model of the Iron Club, again with spikes protruding from it. The damage dealt could be almost fatal for the opponent, combined with the skull-crushing pressure, and the spiked protruding from this club - in other words, if the weight doesn't affect you, it's likely the spikes will. However, once again, this weapon is heavy in weight and difficult to wield - retrieving it is also another disadvantage to be careful of. Great in both offense and defense. Cost: $2,500 Requires 1,500 Dexterity.

-NEW-

Flip knife: A small pocket knife, commonly regarded as an accessory, which has a retractable blade. Excellent for springing a surprise attack upon the opponent, at close range. Made of a fairly firm metal, strong enough to penetrate the skin, once again, the low pressure of the blade makes it excellent for quickly stabbing the opponent, and then withdrawing. Decent for offense but moreso in defense. 6 inch blade and 10 inches in total length. A perfectly concealed weapon. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Switchblade: Another small pocket item, this knife is another one excellent for surprise attacks. The case splits in two, creating the handle as the blade is pushed upwards, meaning that it would be extremely suitable for close range attacks. A fairly lightweight weapon, though also durable, and stronger than it looks at first glance. Another low pressure blade, decent for both offense and defense. 6 inch blade, and 13 inches in total length. Another perfectly concealed weapon. Can be dual wielded.
Cost: $500

Name: Kunai
Type: projectile, close-range
