Iron sword

The iron sword is the sample melee weapon. It is fast, short, and meant to be the page other weapons are copied from. The drawing on this page is original artwork for the template, not an asset from a game.

Stats

Stat Value
Damage 12
Weight Light
Reach Short
Scaling Strength

How those words map onto stamina is covered in combat basics. A light attack from this sword uses the light-attack row on that page.

Where it sits

In the sample kit this is the weapon a new file starts with. It is not a drop, and it has no upgrade track yet. When the real game has an upgrade, add the materials here and change the updated date. Do not leave the old damage value in the table.

Writing the next weapon

Keep the table in the same order. Add a row only when that weapon has a stat the sword does not. Link the combat guide instead of explaining dodge cost a second time.
