Celenia D10 System CD10: Traits and Skills: One-handed Weapons And Shield

The skill to use a one-handed weapon, balanced or not, in one hand and a shield to protect oneself in the other. This skill covers the types of weapons that are generally on the weaker side of defense, but very strong offensively, leaving the defenses to the shield, rather than using the weapon to defend. If you for some reason cannot use the shield, you fight at a -2 disadvantage due to being off balance and unused to the style.
