Small Swords

Dagger

The typical dagger has a pointed, double-edged blade — as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter. Daggers are usable by almost every class, including Mages and Sorcerers.

Throwing daggers are a variant — see Missile Weapons.

Short Sword

The first type of sword to come into existence. A short sword has a double-edged blade about 2 feet long, with a pointed tip ideal for thrusting.
