Horses deliver blunt damage when they trample enemies. Blunt damage will knock an enemy unconscious without killing them, so they may be taken prisoner. Piercing and Blunt weapons receive a bonus against armor. Some modifiers are only for certain type of weapons. Weapons can also have various modifiers (shown to the right) that determine weapon quality or attribute changes.
Weapons in Mount&Blade are divided into a number of categories based on the weapon proficiencies used when wielding them.
