Match your fighting style to your weapon

If you ever see lines like this:

AZAZAEL almost bursts into laughter as IRONHAND embarrasses himself by attempting to bash with his BROAD SWORD.

IRONHAND looks foolish as he attempts to bash his foe with his BROAD SWORD.

This means you are using a fighting style that doesn't match your weapon. For example, Ironhand is trying to use the Bash fighting style yet he is using a slashing and stabbing weapon. I don't know what sort of penalty you get, but I do know you get one.

Some fighting styles work with any kind of weapon like Berserk or Total Parry. If it sounds like a specific fighting style like Bash, Slash, Lunge or their Parry equivalents, be sure to pick the one that matches your weapon.

mm then how about spear?
I tried bash n slash n lunge.

But seems like bash n lunge works best for me atm.
