Each weapon has one or more modes of usage, representing different ways in which the weapon can be used. For each different mode of usage, the skill used, number of hands, range, attack speed, attack modifier, parry modifier, damage rating and damage type are listed separately. See 1.12.5.2 for an explanation of the meaning of these statistics.
For example, a Knife has several modes: a character can use a knife to stab, slash or thrust with the blade, strike with the hilt or to throw at the target.
It takes no time to switch modes of usage for any particular weapon during combat (e.g. if a character has just attacked one-handed using a Hand&Half Sword and next makes a Parry Reaction, he can choose to use either a one- or two- handed parry, at no penalty).
The following table sets out the statistics for different attack modes:
