- Passive Perk
- Repeatable
Through rigorous training, you’ve gained proficiency in 1 type of melee weapon. Weapon types, by default, are very broad to streamline the process and make proficiencies easier to keep track across settings:
- Bladed Weapons: This category includes all edged weapons like swords (longswords, katanas, rapiers), knives, and axes. It focuses on slashing or piercing damage.
- Blunt Weapons: Clubs, maces, hammers, and staffs fall under this category. These weapons primarily deal bludgeoning damage.
- Polearms and Spears: Weapons with long reaches like spears, halberds, and pikes. They can be used for thrusting and, in some cases, slashing.
- Flexible Weapons: Whips, chains, and flails. These require a unique mastery due to their flexible nature and combat dynamics.
Upon taking this perk, you also unlock the Power Strike ability, allowing you to spend stamina to empower your next melee attack.
Repeatable: You can purchase this perk again, gaining proficiency in another type of weapon from the list.
