What an adventurer needs on his journey through the land, be it sharp swords or heavy metal armour. This is what you use and what you wear while on adventures.
When you choose a weapon, what you choose is a Weapon Type and a Weapon Size. From that, you may choose what the weapon actually is as long as it fits those parameters. For example, if you choose a Hand Sword, you may call it a dagger, or a shortsword, or even a kitchen cleaver, but it acts according to its Size and Type.
