	All weapons are subject to [[skill]]; increasing skill increases [[weapon damage]], [[accuracy]], and decreases the [[attack delay]]. The heaviest weapon is not always the best, as an unskilled user will swing inaccurately and slowly, potentially giving monsters two turns for your one. Certain weapons also take two [[handedness\|hands]] to use, which restricts the use of a [[shield]]. Both skill and strength are multipliers to a weapon's base damage.
