Daggers are small stabbing [[Melee Weapons|weapons]], useful as a secondary weapon for ranged focused characters (or poorly equipped bandits). They are also useful when trying to loot armor from opponents.

Daggers do little damage but also have no [[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue|bottom]] [[Attributes#Fatigue|Fatigue]] penalty to carry and give access to the [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]] skill. [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]] can be useful against armored opponents as it will completely ignore armor, but is also unable to make a critical hit, hence it hits only body.

Surrounding well-armored opponents, like [[Knight]]s or [[Brigand Leader]]s, and puncturing them to death is a great way to obtain high-end armor for free.

[[File:Perk_51.png|25px|bottom]] [[Dagger Mastery]] perk gives these bonuses:
* [[Stab (7 fatigue)|Stab]], [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]] or [[Deathblow (10 fatigue)|Deathblow]] AP cost is reduced to 3, effectively allowing 3 attacks per turn.
* Daggers skills require <span class="" style="color:green">25%</span> less[[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]].

==='''Two-Handed Daggers'''===
</onlyinclude>
[[Estoc]] is the only two-handed dagger in the game. It can be used to either repeatedly stab a target, adding more stabs if it's [[Temporary Injuries|injured]], or attack with high armor penetration that depends on the user's [[File:Initiative.png|25px|Initiative|bottom]] [[Attributes#Initiative|Initiative]]. If 100% [[File:Direct_damage.png|25px|bottom|Direct Damage]] threshold is reached, the armor is ignored completely, similarly to [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]] skill, but without restriction to only body hits.

[[File:Perk_51.png|25px|bottom]] [[Dagger Mastery]] perk gives these bonuses:
* AP cost of attacks is reduced by 1, allowing to do one extra basic [[Stab (11 fatigue)|Stab]] each turn.
* Daggers skills require <span class="" style="color:green">25%</span> less[[File:Fatigue.png|25px|Fatigue]].<onlyinclude>
