WEAPONS

Without a weapon you won't do much damage. You must wield a weapon to use it
in combat. Everyone except mages (unless they don't want to cast) can hold
weapons also. You don't attack with the secondary weapons every time.
Fighting classes have skills that increase the frequency of their attacks and
improve the chance of hitting with their offhand weapon. For spellcasters it
is level dependent.
