I assume everyone knows how a rapier looks. Its main use is as a show-weapon by swordmaster adepts, most warrior adepts think that it does to little actual damage to be called a melee weapon.
Advantages: Due to the superb grip on the hilt of a rapier opponents need a good success level to disarm someone wielding a rapier. A rapier is very effective against non-solid armor, like chain mail, ring mail, blood pebbles and fernweave, halve the armor ratings of these armor types against a rapier OR allow a rapier to score an armor-defeating hit on a good success.
Rapiers which have a basket guard grant an additional point of armor on the sword arm.
