Kenshi is dangerous even by the usual standards of post-apocalyptic deserts. Roving beasts, bandits, bonedogs, slavers, ninjas, and other enemies prowl the wasteland, looking for anyone they can rob, eat, or kidnap. A well-equipped and well-trained adventurer stands a chance against these dangers. An ill-prepared one not so much. Whether traveling alone or with a full militia at one's back, the choice of armament can make the difference between coming home and night or bleeding out in the sand.
