There are four primary weapon types: 2-handed, 1-handed, light, and ranged weapons. Within these types, there are many secondary weapon types. Weapon types are displayed in light blue on the Character Sheet, along with Weapon Attributes.
2-Handed
These weapons are quite heavy so require a great deal of Strength and specialized training as a Warrior to wield. Warriors can advance their prowess even further with the Two Handed Expert advanced skill.
Hand
One-handed weapons, or just hand weapons for short, are of average weight but require some martial training to use. As a general rule, Warriors can use any of these weapons, Rogues can use longswords, and Clerics can use maces.
Light
These weapons are very light and can be easily concealed. Most of these weapons can be used by anyone, though some require the specialized training of a Rogue. Such weapons are unusual in that they are the only weapons Warriors do not receive training in. Note that Rogues can't use hammers.
Ranged
These weapons are quite bulky so require specialized training as a Warrior or Rogue to wield. Both classes can learn the advanced skills Precision Shots and Rapid Fire. Only Rogues, however, due to their natural agility can truly be trained in Archery.
