Dagger is the combat skill to wield a Dagger, a melee weapon. Ogre, Troll, Vampire and Genie Explorers may begin the game with basic knowledge of this skill. Player characters of most classes can (eventually) learn it, with the exception of the self-magic specialists.

Description

While daggers don't do the kind of damage that a sword or an axe can deliver, they are very quick, sometimes letting the wielder get two attacks for every one of the slower opponent. Expert dagger fighters can wield a dagger in their left hand while using another weapon in their right. Master dagger fighters have a chance of doing a triple damage attack and grandmasters do even more damage.
