Dagger

A dagger is almost any kind of small, double-edged bladed weapon. They are designed to be easily concealed, yet quickly available for use. For a pirate, their small knife was also tool, but this weapon was indispensble when their gun is empty or they were in close quarter combat.

Many daggers can also be thrown at an enemy, which makes up for their small blades by increasing the distance they can be used.

A beginning pirate does not have the dagger skill. It must be learned by completing the Dagger Quests after Notoriety level 10. Abilities with a dagger increases its lethal damage and variety of daggers the pirate can use.
