| − | + | A '''short sword''' is an [[attack types|edged]] [[weapon]] that is larger than a knife, with a blade long enough to make slashing effective but shorter than [[long sword|other swords]]. Short swords have the same basic attacks as other swords, but suffer slightly because of their reduced size. | |
| − | + | Short swords use and train the [[swordsman]] skill (called "Swordsdwarf" in dwarf mode). Dwarves can [[forge]] short swords out of any weapon-grade [[metal]], but those with [[material science|superior edge properties]] are more effective. "Rock short swords" are a special type of short sword that are constructed out of [[obsidian]] (with [[wood]]en handles) by a [[stonecrafter]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Rock short swords may be based on the Aztec [[wikipedia:Macuahuitl|Macuahuitl]], described as being a club with rows of sharp stone edge affixed to the sides. All dwarves can equip short swords, but a tiny fraction must use two hands. | |
