Sabres

The sabre asks nothing exotic of you. It just works — which is exactly why so many wanderers carry one.

What It Does

The Sabres skill governs versatile mid-weight blades that balance cutting power, speed and reach. The most all-round weapon class in the game.

Hidden Effects

Sabres have generous reach and decent multi-hit potential, making them strong in open-field group fights without the strength demands of heavy weapons.

How XP Works

Trains through general combat with a sabre equipped.

Best Training Methods

Sabres train well in almost any fight — bounty hunting and bandit clearing both work. Their versatility is the point.

Common Mistakes

Few — the sabre's flexibility is its strength. The only real error is expecting it to out-penetrate a dedicated heavy weapon against full plate.
