Weapon:Dao (crafted)

A dao is a melee-range Light Edged metal weaponsmithing template.

It is a 04- Simple template, uses 5 volumes of metal, and is covered by the Proficient Bladed Weapon Design technique.

It is 8 by 2 by 1 spans.

This metal weapon has the standard construction values for its type.

The crafted falcatas, koummyas, kythes, and obens are also identical in performance to this template.

Key
T=Tempered, B=Balanced, H=Honed La=laminated, CB=Cable-backed, Li=Lightening Red text means that some of the listed information is either unconfirmed or otherwise unreliable. Black underlined text means that it is the first weight in which that value is reached.
