Small Weapons

The Small Weapons aptitude allows a character to use weapons 21" to 30" in length.

Description
Small weapons include all edged or blunt weapons of the appropriate length. The first time the skill is purchased the character gains the ability to use any small weapon, which has a base damage of four. Every consecutive purchase adds one point of damage when using a small weapon. These points are not divided between hands but are applied universally. However, you can not use one weapon in each hand without additionally purchasing the Two Weapon Combat skill. A small weapon can be used in conjunction with a shield if the character has the first level Armor feat. Weapon Bonuses, Strength Bonuses, Damage Bonuses and Tagline Bonuses can all be applied to this type of attack.
