Attack Type:
Slashing
Wielder may use the weapon for slashing attacks. The wide arc of these attacks increases contact surface, therefore spreading out the impact area and reducing its penetrative strength in favor of longer wounds.
Damage Type: Lethal.
Critical Hits: Add 50% attack damage as Constitutional Damage and set bleeding for 2 HP per turn. Can sever limbs on body part aimed attacks.
Slabbing
Wielder may use the weapon for stabbing attacks. The very small surface of contact of this attack minimizes the impact area of the blow and therefore greatly increases its penetrative strength.
Damage Type: Lethal.
Critical Hits: Add 100% attack damage as Constitutional Damage and set bleeding for 1 HP per turn.
Bludgeonning
Wielder may use the weapon for bludgeonning attacks. Bludgeonning attacks use Blunt force to cause crushing injuries to opponents. While not as easily lethal as bladed attacks, these may still cause devastating fractures that severely affect their victims.
Damage Type: Lethal or Non-Lethal (Attacker's choice).
Critical Hits: Add 50% attack damage as Constitutional Damage and cause broken bone.
Melee Weapons
Fist Weapons
Brass Knuckles
Brass knuckles, also sometimes called knuckles, knucks, brass knucks, knucklebusters, or knuckledusters, are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat. Brass knuckles are pieces of metal shaped to fit around the knuckles. Despite their name, they are usually made of steel. Designed to preserve and concentrate a punch's force by directing it toward a harder and smaller contact area, they result in increased tissue disruption, including an increased likelihood of fracturing the victim's bones on impact. The extended and rounded palm grip also spreads across the attacker's palm the counter-force that would otherwise be absorbed primarily by the attacker's fingers, reducing the likelihood of damage to the attacker's fingers.

Butterfly swords are usually wielded in pairs.

Traditionally, the blade of a butterfly sword is only sharpened along half of its edge.
