rdfs:comment
  • When in a fight, the weapon in your hand is not only a tool for attack. It can become an adequate defense as well. Weapons can be used to block strikes that otherwise course through your personal defense. The defensive quality of a weapon usually depends first and foremost on its size. Bigger weapons generally provide more defense. This variant rule gives a possible method of handling such added defense.
