Short Sword

The short sword is a melee weapon given to the player at the start of the game. It deals anywhere between 0 (a miss) and 3 damage when swung.

Usage
The short sword is a weapon to replace as quickly as possible. While capable of killing villagers in a few hits, and thieves in several, it is not an effective weapon beyond the general spawn area. It is best to gather enough gold to buy either the Mythril Sword or Draconian Sword before travelling into the Central Plains area to fight the monsters there.
