Melee Weapons

Many weapons convey particular advantages that mere strikes with a body cannot duplicate. A foot cannot sever a limb, nor can a fist impact a dangerous surface or substance without risking repercussion. This skill reflects a certain proficiency, or even expertise with a specific weapon, to be named by the player upon attaining a rank. Just as with Martial Arts, each weapon expertise advances independently. It should be noted that the weapon expertise should be particular to one weapon. A proficiency in a rapier, for instance, does not necessarily carry over to the Katana, though both are notable swords.

Examples of Melee Weapons include, but are not limited to: Katana, Jiujiebian, and Battle Axe.
