short swords
The typical dagger has a pointed, double-edged blade, as opposed to a knife, which has a single edge and is a bit shorter. A throwing dagger is similar to a dagger, but balanced for throwing. The short sword is longer than a dagger, normally two feet long, with a sharp tip ideal for thrusting. Both weapons do piercing damage and two throwing daggers can be flung per round. Clerics cannot use either weapon, while Druids and Mages are restricted from using short swords.
