Weapons Reference

Below are all available weapon classes, categorized into the three distance groups (melee, skirmishing, and ranged), with their various requirements. Regardless of the type of weapon in-lore, it must mechanically fit to one of these classes.

Your character cannot carry more than two weapons of any kind on them at a time, though can carry either a meteor hammer or short sword as an extra weapon. Rolls to hit are made on the final action (i.e. on a two-action attack, roll to hit is on the second action).

Check your distance to a block by using /distance or to a player using /distance [username]. If your target falls within melee, skirmishing, or ranged distance, it will display beside the distance.
