Melee

Melee weapons range across the spectrums of size, power, and utility. Though firearms are often the preferred weapon of Pathfinders, melee weapons offer silence, simplicity, and a level of lethality often lacking in ranged weaponry. Many Pathfinders prefer the visceral thrill of combat on the front lines, making melee a popular choice of primary or secondary weapon.
