With the exception of some Template:L, all Template:Ls have an attack type. There are two attack types: blunt and edged.
Blunt weapons
Examples of blunt weapons include hammers, maces, and melee attacks with crossbows.
Blunt weapons generally have poor penetration but are good for bruising and breaking internal bones and tissues. Blunt weapons tend to be more effective when they have greater weight. This can lead to disappointment when using blunt weapons made from Template:L. They are not designed to kill, but to incapitate, and they do that very well.
Edged weapons
Examples of edged weapons include swords, axes, daggers, and picks.
Edged weapons generally have smaller contact surfaces than blunt weapons, which gives them more penetration power. If you want to sever limbs, an edged weapon is probably your best bet.
