This article is about an older version of DF.

Template:Elven

Weapons are used by military dwarves and certain other humanoids in Template:L.

Hunters, Woodcutters and Miners also use weapons for their work and if need be will also fight using them. Hunters seem to be limited to crossbows while miners and woodcutters use picks and axes respectively.

Using weapons is much more effective than unarmed combat- an untrained swordsdwarf with an Template:L weapon can defeat a grand master Template:L.

There are many different types of weapons;
