武器主要分为五类：轻型、单手、双手、远程和副手。There are five primary weapon categories: light, hand, 2-handed, ranged, and off-hand. 武器类型Weapon types 其他other than '手部hand' (the default 武器weapon category) are displayed in 轻型light blue on the 角色面板Character Sheet, along with 武器Weapon 属性Attributes.
Characters will generally have 技能skills that allow them to 使用use, or improve their 技能skills with, certain 武器类型weapon types; for example, 战士Warriors can choose 盾牌专精Shield Expert (somewhat committing them to one-handed 武器类型weapon types) or 双手武器专精Two Handed Expert (likewise committing to fighting with a two-handed 武器weapon). 法师Mages can 学习learn to 使用use 手部Hand and 轻型Light 武器weapons via 奥术之刃Arcane Blade; 盗贼Rogues 使用use 箭术Archery to 获得gain 远程ranged-武器weapon effectiveness. A few 其他other usage limitations are set by the 武器weapon 分组group rather than the 类型type. E.g. 法师Mages having to choose 魔杖专精Wand Mastery or 法杖专精Staff Mastery based on their preference; or that 牧师Clerics, generally speaking, can 使用use blunt 武器weapons but not sharp-edged ones (a 游戏game-balance mechanic that goes 返回back to early 地牢Dungeons & 龙Dragons).
For a comparison of the 13 武器分组weapon groups that are each assigned one of these types, see the 桌子table in 武器分组Weapon Groups.
轻型Light
These 武器weapons are very 轻型light and quick. They primarily require 敏捷Agility though 力量Strength gives a secondary 加成bonus. 战士Warriors can wield the greatest range though many are exclusively 盗贼Rogue. 牧师Clerics can 使用use hammers and several daggers, 法师Mages can also 使用use numerous daggers and 是is the only melee 武器weapon they can 装备equip. 战士Warriors and 盗贼Rogues can 学习learn the powerful 连击Flurry 轻型light-武器weapon advanced 技能skill. 全部All 职业classes can 学习learn
手部Hand
One-handed 武器weapons, or just 手部hand 武器weapons for short, are of average weight but require some martial training to 使用use. 这是武器的'默认'类别；如果一件武器没有列出不同的武器类型，那么它就是单手武器。This is the 'default' category of weapons, if a weapon doesn't have a different weapon-type listed then it is hand. These 武器weapons benefit primarily from 力量Strength though 敏捷Agility gives a secondary 加成bonus. As a 通用general rule 战士Warriors can 使用use any of these 武器weapons, 盗贼Rogues can 使用use longswords and axes, and 牧师Clerics can 使用use maces. (There are some exceptions). The only 技能skill that 需要requires a 手部hand 武器weapon (along with a 盾牌shield) 是is the advanced 战士Warrior 技能skill 步兵训练Infantry Training.
2-Handed
These 武器weapons are heavy and only benefit from 力量Strength. 战士Warriors can wield 全部all 2-handed 武器weapons and get the 双手武器专精Two Handed Expert 技能skill whereas 牧师Clerics can only 使用use mauls and get better results with the 阿尔贝诺斯之力Arbenos' Might 技能skill. 使用Use of 2-handed 武器weapons prevents the 使用use of a 盾牌shield though one can be equipped in readiness for a 武器weapon change.
远程Ranged
These 武器weapons target opponents at a distance though they can be used in melee range. Careful players 使用use 移动movement, obstacles, and 技能skills such as 踢击Kick, 冲锋Charge or 魔杖专精Wand Mastery's pushback, to keep distance. 远程Ranged 武器weapons primarily require 敏捷Agility though 感知Awareness gives a secondary 加成bonus.
战士Warriors and 盗贼Rogues can 使用use 弓bows, there 是is 否no difference between longbows and crossbows. 弓Bows are bulky and require two 手部hands to 使用use, this prevents the 使用use of a 盾牌shield though one can be equipped in readiness for a 武器weapon change. Both 职业classes can 学习learn 速射Rapid Fire, 盗贼rogues can also 学习learn 箭术Archery.
法师Mages can 使用use 法杖wands and 法杖staves. 法杖Staves are bulky and require two 手部hands like a 弓bow, 法杖wands are one-handed and can be used in conjunction with some 小圆盾buckler shields or an 宝珠Orb. 法师Mages can 学习learn 法杖专精Staff Mastery and 魔杖专精Wand Mastery, plus 奥术Arcane.
副手Off-Hand
These 武器weapons are used in conjunction with 手部hand or 轻型light 武器weapons, though they can be equipped (but not used) with two handed 武器weapons. Many are for 盗贼Rogues alone, but 战士Warriors can 使用use several. An 副手off-hand 武器weapon with a 火焰Fire enchantment will help permanently kill 巨魔Trolls. If not utilising an 副手off-hand 武器weapon 全部all 职业classes can have 盾牌shield options, and 法师Mages can 装备equip an 宝珠Orb.
