<onlyinclude>
All melee weapons require a rigid [[core]] and may be used to block, parry, or score hits with their [[Strike-Legal]] portion. Some melee weapons allow for [[Heavy Padding Substitution]] for a given length. A melee weapon is considered wielded if gripped in hand, to be used in combat. A [[Weapon Destroying|destroyed]] melee weapon cannot be wielded or used to block, and is considered unwielded carried equipment when held in hand.
