Questions about tRoS combat

Some example Defense TN's:

Dagger: 7

Bigger shields also cover bigger areas(duh!). Useful against pesky arrows.

Actually the Rondel's Defense TN is 9 (the common sidearm for soldiers and such). The DTN you quoted is for a Poniard.

This made me think of something,
In the book, on the dagger profiency I think, it says almost everyone carries a dagger. These "work-daggers", are they poinards or something else?

It depends on what country you're in.

In Ixliaph, the statement is untrue, and therefore moot.

In Odeon, the daggers would probably be more akin to rondels than poinards.

In Xanarium, the poinard is the sidearm to the rapier, 'nuf said.

In Angharad, a stilletto-type dagger would not be uncommon.

Etc., etc., etc.
