You will be given weapons to start with. These are totally free! Of course, this also means they will give you no money if you were to try and sell them, but they're here just to get your foot in the door.
You may pick two one-handed weapons, or one two-handed weapon to start. This will use both your Primary and Secondary weapon slots.
Short Katana: The blade is dulling, and the reach is limited. Still, it serves its purpose as a blade. +2 Str
Blacksmith's Hammer: Two hand. This requires both hands to wield because of its weight, but it sure packs a punch. +3 Str -3 Dex
Short Bow: The wood is rotting, but a bow is a bow. +2 Str when firing arrows, +1 Str when striking with the bow.
Monk's Staff: They say it's a monk's staff, but it just looks like a long tree branch. +2 Str
Stone Axe: It looks like you tied a sharp rock onto a stick of wood. Is that thing going to break if you use it? +2 Str
Short Spear: Two-Hand. It seems like a poorly-made spear, with a shorter handle than usual. But at least the blade's a little longer! +2 Str
Hidden Dagger: Limited in range, this blade is typically used for assassinations. +3 Str when stabbing
Dual Sickles: Two hand. These two sickles are connected through a chain, making it hard to use just one. But at least you won't lose 'em! +2 Str +1 Dex
Katar: A dagger that is held with a horizontal grip rather than vertical, making it more akin to a push dagger. +1 Dex and an additional +2 Str when stabbing.
Small Iron Kunai: These kunai aren't exactly well-made, but they're good if you're on a low budget! +1 Str +2 Dex
War Hammer: Two-hand. This large hammer has a heavy head and doesn't look all that durable. But hey, at least the reach is decent! +3 Str, -3 Dex
Katana: A standard katana, though the blade is dulling and the reach is limited, it serves its purpose as a blade. When worn together with a wakizashi, it is the official sign that the wearer is a samurai. +2 Str
Wakizashi: A shorter variant of the standard katana, known as the companion sword when paired with the katana, this one looks like it's seen a fair amount of use. +1 Str, 1 Dex
Special Weapons: If you would like your character to use something eccentric (and this is highly encouraged), send a staff member a PM, and they will build a starter weapon for you.
