Gloves of Mercy give a bonus to Short Edged Weapons, but the list in wiki is a bit, don't know how to put it, incomplete or obscure:
"Basically all one-handed and two-handed swords and knives, like the Vorpal Blade, Elven Long Sword, Executioner's Sword, the Dagger, and the Katana are edged.
All 1-handed weapons, except the Elven Long Sword and Blade of Thuringwethil, are considered short."
Which weapons are Short Edged Weapons? I'd want a full list, possibly even with proof of it. This to further split up the long list of Melee weapons into more, better specified, shorter lists:
Short Edged Weapons
Long Edged Weapons
Hammer Class Weapons
Leftover Weapons
