Daggers

Daggers are sharp and strong knives usually suited for combat or even as an emergency tool, they are one of the most common melee weapons in CavesRL, although a Dagger deals less damage per strike than most melee weapons, they strike twice per attack and usually are great weapons even in the hands of characters with poor melee skill.

Claws

Claws are sharp, strong and precise melee weapons, they usually have 2-5 blades and are equiped on the fists or in the wrists, their appearance is inspired by the claws of apex predators such as Bears and Tigers, although the use of this weapon in real life is very rare, they are very famous due to their appearance in countless movies, being the main weapons of the iconic Wolverine and the infamous Freddy Krueger.

In CavesRL, Claws are an alternative version of the Daggers, they have two blades on each Claw and they deal 3 strikes per attack being capable of hitting multiple enemies even without the "Quick Reflexes" perk being unlocked, however it deals even less damage per strike than a Dagger and their effeciency highly depends on the player's Melee skill (60%) and Agility (40%).
