Melee Weapon

A Melee Weapon is any tool that is helpful for dealing damage in Melee Combat.

Bonus

Melee weapons are considered to have one stat, a Bonus between 1 and 3 added to Physical Ability while fighting with it.

The different bonuses are given using the following approximate categories:

1. Small simple weapons, such as a knife or baton.
2. Significant but still reasonably sized weapons, such as a sword or mace.
3. Big weapons, large two-handed sword or similar.

Damage

Melee Weapon Damage is calculated similarly to Unarmed Damage, but with the relevant Melee Weapon's Bonus added to your Physical Ability.

Melee Weapon Damage = (Physical Ability + Melee Weapon Bonus) / 3 (round down)
