Fencing

A melee combat Weapon Skill, that uses weapons that consist of a "piercing/jabbing" action. Fencing weapons are generally lightweight and a quick to strike. It is the best melee class available for use with Poisoning.

The damage for most fencing weapons is calculated predominately with few dice where as Swordsmanship is predominately calculated with more dice (2-3). Thus fencing has a more varied damage distribution.

Weapons

All fencing weapons can be crafted by Blacksmiths, with the exception of the Pitchfork. Pitchforks can be crafted by Tinkers. They can be found in the Tools category of the crafting menu.
