Rapier

A rapier is an agility-based alternative to a sword for a hero who favors a precise, thoughtful fighting style. In Elaria, it may belong to a fencer, a city defender, or a traveler following a personal tradition. An ornate hilt may bear the emblem of a school or family, or simply recall a reward for a task well done.

Its higher agility requirement reflects its place among more effective weapons. It uses one hand, so choose it with the character's role and other equipment in mind. It has no automatic ability to pierce armor or disarm an opponent. A story might involve finding a teacher, recovering a lost rapier, or settling a dispute over who truly owns an important possession.

Attacks use Agility (AGI). The 1H designation means it uses one hand. The minimum is AGI6, and its catalog physical attack bonus (PATK) is +3. The price is 2 gp 5 sp. A hero's total attack is then calculated from attributes and the applicable rules; the listed weapon bonus is not the entire final attack.
