The RP staff is free to define weapons appopriate to the world. The following is a listing of weapons defined by the base installation of Argo. Administrators should try to ensure that newly added weapons are in balance with the standard weapons. That is, if they offer significant advantages over the standard weapons, this should be offset by greater cost, special skill requirements, reduced availability, or perhaps social stigma (in other words, make the improved weapons illegal).

For weapons that specify more than one skill, your highest applicable skill will be used in attack rolls. The notes column makes use of the following codes:

	1h	A 1-handed weapon
	2h	A 2-handed weapon
	F	A fencing weapon
	T	A thrown weapon
	R	A ranged weapon

A complete list of combat-related objects that have been defined on your MUCK can be shown by typing +list weapons, +list shields, and +list armor. You can also specify subclasses of weapons (for example, +list fencing weapons or +list thrown weapons). The +info command will output detailed information about specific weapons.

Note that prices listed here are simply system defaults... `suggested retail', as it were. The actual price of a given object at a given location may vary widely.
