Description:
The Arm Blade is a custom made weapon that must be fitted individually to each person when made. The blade is about the length of a short sword but instead of ending a hilt, the blade extends for a length equal to the users forearm. On the top side of the extended blade is curved plate that serves two purposes: one a rest for the arm, the other is protection for the forearm. The other side still retains its cutting edge. The blade is attached to the arm in one of two ways: It can be strapped on the arm with leather ties, or a hand hold is inserted in the arm rest.
While using the Arm Blade the wielder receives +1 to physical Armor, or an minimum Armor rating of 5 on the arm it is used.
Some but not all cultures view an Arm Blade as an Assassins weapon and react accordingly.
