So I'm making melee weapons right now for a project and I came up with this.
These are your choice of starter weapons for the melee class.
You have the broadsword with high damage but low speed. (left)
The scimitar with low damage but high speed. (right)
And then you have the longsword which is the jack of trades. (middle)

This is the next tier of weaponry obtained made of iron.

Thoughts so far?
