</div>



There are broadly ten different weapons classes (which determine how a weapon is used in combat and stored on person while not fighting). There are many individual weapons types that can be said to be od the same class, for instance maces, hammers and clubs are considered to be different types of weapons but in the same class; in this case they can both be used in melee and the physics of throwing them is the same. Each weapon type has a different damage charts and there are many models (how they look) for each specific weapon type.

Magical Staffs are a little different. There are eight individual magical staffs and they are different in how they are used and the effects they cause.

Some weapons can be slotted on either hip, and other weapons can be strapped to your back. You can bring a total of three weapons into dungeons.
