Thrusting Swords

What is a Thrusting Sword?
Thrusting Swords, like Curved Swords, focus on predominantly one type of damage, and forgo the balance of normal swords to excel in one specific field. They are the ideal weapons for getting through the heavy armor or scales of an enemy, and their unique attack motion allows for very rapid attacks. While the pinpoint precision of the strikes with these weapons make them very effective against armor. it does also bring with it some inherent weaknesses. The impact area of the strikes is very small, which means that attacks can often be easily evaded or blocked with a shield. To get the most out of these weapons, they should be used with a counter-hitting style that tries to interrupt an opponent's attack once it has begun.
