An Epee is one of the three types of swords used in the sport of Fencing. When using an Epee, you must stab your opponent, and you are not limited by target area, as the whole body is game. The other two types of blade are Sabers and Foils.

Epee's origins come from a duel in older days, one that is more honorable that a potential duel to the death. It is simply a duel to first blood, as evidenced by the lack of restrictions on target area in the sport.
