A player of mine wishes to take Rapiers as her primary weapon to use.

What skill does she take? Is the skill she takes "Fencing weapons" Or Rapier in particular?

And if it is Rapier in particular, Does she take the default stated on P208 Where "Fencing weapons" are -3 from their parent stat? Or Default:Broadsword-4

I'm personally really confused and would appreciate someone shedding light on how this works. As I can't seem to wrap my head around it in any way, shape or form.

EDIT: I've figured out ranged weapons, Specifically guns. I understand that you have to specialise in one gun type, and that they are all DX-4. However I can't wrap this logic around Melee weapons.
