Appendix B: Weapon Mastery Charts
The range of weapons on Karil has narrowed significantly since the advent of smoke powder. Since there isn't much heavy armor around, there are few heavy bludgeoning weapons. Tastes now run to light swords and daggers. Shields have been abandoned, and pistols find common usage. The differences in fighting styles are narrow.
