What use is a weapon with lead +1 in Edge RPG?

Question

I'm playing in the Edge RPG. Besides the weapon being more concealable, I can't find a reason for a martial character to use a weapon with lead +1 (that is, effectively, a light weapon) instead of a weapon with lead +2 (that is, effectively, a one handed weapon).

At first I assumed the rules would make using weapons with a lead +1 more viable than using a higher lead weapon during two-weapon fighting, but the rules don't seem to care what types of weapons are wielded during two-weapon fighting. (Oddly, the rules also don't seem to care how many weapons are wielded for extra attacks, but that's beside the point.)

The only possibility I can see is that such weapons are just options for characters without any martial specialization, yet it seems like there should be some advantage to — or, at least, no matter its obscurity, some reason for — a highly trained warrior to wield a weapon with lead +1. So, besides appearances ("Light weapons look awesome…") and concealability ("…and I can fit them in my boot!"), is there any reason for a warrior to fight using a weapon with a lead +1?

Answer 1

I went ahead and contacted Outrider Studios through their Facebook page and received this response:

Conceal-ability is the big advantage. The other is that you can throw the weapon without using the Throwblade power.

It would seem that's the extent of small weapon benefits.

When asked about intent, they clarified:

...A lot of players do not use a +1 weapon as their main or Edgeforged weapon, but as a backup plan. You never know when you might need a small weapon to throw or keep hidden. We kept them as +1 instead of +0.

Our thinking is that you can kill someone even with a small knife, so the +1 was justified.
