Combat
Fencing
Fencing covers the quick, pointed weapons, and carries Bleed: a landed hit can open a wound that keeps costing the monster health after the swing is done. It trades the raw damage of a heavy weapon for speed and attrition.

Bleed — A wound that keeps costing the monster health after the swing has landed. Damage is a share of the target's own maximum health, so it hurts a hill giant exactly as proportionally as it hurts a rat.
