Weapon Skills

All races and classes of character can use weapons, as can many creatures. Though weapons come in many different types and materials, Avanor keeps things simple by grouping weapons according to type. For example, Long Swords, Short Swords and Broad Swords are all considered to be Swords, and using any type of Sword will gradually increase your ability to fight with all kinds of swords.

To see your current prowess in using weapons, use the 'W' ('weapon skills') command. The columns of the display show the skill name, any bonuses to DV, HIT and DMG gained for proficiency in the weapon, marks left (how many more creatures you need to kill with that weapon type to gain a further proficiency level) and your current level in the skill.
