Strong Melee Weapons

These are weapons with a base damage of 7 or more. Elven and Dwarven weapons, being substantially more powerful than those crafted by Men, fit in this category, as do the weapons of Uruks, the elites of the Orcish hordes. More powerful still are the historic weapons of the heroes of Middle Earth, often lost in time, such as the swords of Gondolin and Gandalf the White's staff.
