Shortsword

Short sword, is a small blade not as lengthy as a standard sword but also not as short as a dagger,dirk or kukri. In two-weapon fighting styles, the short sword is often not the primary weapon but instead a complimentary, defensive weapon to a larger blade, such as a longsword.It is ideal for small creatures like goblins, sprites, gnomes and halflings. It is favoured by assassins and rogues.Invisible blades do not use them even though they count as small weapons
