One-handed weapons

One-handed weapons are usually fast, light, and can be used with a shield. They have shorter reach and don't deal as much damage as two-handed weapons or polearms but can often be used in much tighter spaces. They also receive no penalty to damage/speed penalty when being used on horseback or with a shield.

Unless the player chooses Peddler or Poacher as their adulthood occupation during character creation, all starter melee weapons are one-handed.
