A melee combat [[Weapon Skill]] that yields sharp weapons that are used with a 'swinging/slicing' action.

The damage for most sword weapons is calculated predominately with a number of dice rolls (2-3 dice) where as fencing is predominately calculated with fewer dice. This gives swordsmanship a more consistent damage distribution.

== Pros and Cons ==
=== Pros ===
*Can be poisoned
*Some are in the top-ranks for damage per hit and some for speed

=== Cons ===
* No damage-per-second top-ranked weapons
* There is no bonus stamina drain like [[Mace Fighting]]

== Popular Swordsmanship weapons ==

*[[Halberd]]: The hardest hitting yet slowest melee weapon, and rank 2 of all weapons for damage per hit. A favorite amongst [[tank mage|tank mages]].
*[[Katana]]: One of the faster weapons in the game, can be used with a [[shield]].
*[[Executioner axe]] or [[double axe]] or [[axe]]: Solid intermediate sword weapons.

== Weapon comparison ==

For the following comparisons the weapon-user has 100 Weapon Skill, 100 Stamina, 100 Tactics, 100 Anatomy and 100 Strength, and the weapons are of exceptional quality. The defender has 0 Weapon Skill and thus will be damaged every hit, furthermore the defender has no armor.

''Swordsmanship Weapons in the above tables are '''bold''' formated.''

As seen in the table above, the '''Halberd''' is only beaten by the '''Heavy Crossbow''', which in return is much slower and thus deals less than half the damage per second as the Halbert. This abilities make the Halberd that popular in [[PvP]], where the heavy hit after a combination of spells often means death to the opponent. One-Handed weapons do significantly less damage per hit than two-handeds do, yet they allow to equip a shield in the other hand. In this category the [[Mace Fighting|mace weapons]] are slightly better than the sword weapons.
