Just a quick mention. You should switch 'Longsword' with Bastard sword. Then switch 'Greatsword' with Longsword. You coud also switch 'Shortsword' with Arming Sword. Arming swords were one handed swords, approximately 30 inches in length.(for the blade) Bastard swords were the earliest longswords, they could be used with one hand, but the length of the handle allowed them to be used with two. typically around 33-38 inches in length.(blade, 10-15 inch handle) Also longswords, which would have a blade length of about 39 inches. The 'Greatsword' would have been known as a Zweihander (German for 'two-hander'), and would be too big to practically use for adventuring. It was up to 85 inches long in total length. You don't need to edit it much for it to work, but I feel injecting a little bit more realism to pair with the dagger and mace abilities, well done by the way, would make it all the more greater. I am very happy w both versions and I have sated realism is always put behind me, but welcome you to run w it either here or in a thread of your own. Thanx for reading and your input(Oh and welcome to our band of brothers) It's not necessarily more realistic, I'm just a bit of a fighter for the use of historical context and names being used in fantasy. Paolini did a decent job of that, and his works are now iconic fantasy. |

I can't believe I forgot to post this= One of the cool things you can do w this is create magic items thaat are a fusion of 2 of these, gaining both bonus'. So for example you could make a Short sword spirit of mace and get both advantages. no making dagger spirit of long sword(its just a short sword, LOL

I love your posts, just make them a little more complete. Please make this post a lot clearer. I am not sure what you mean with the "spirit of" part or what you mean with "both advantages". Please expand this post with some explanation and possibly a table to go with it. |

So a "spirit of" item would have both of the bonus' that are assigned to mundane weapons of the OP. so for example a "Short Sword spirit of mace" woulds have the short sword bonus(+1 to hit) and the mace bonus (Does 1 damage on a miss), I never gave any of these out but love the addition it does of the OP.

What game has a +1 for a non-magic (mundane) short sword and where a non-magic mace does 1 point of damage when the attack misses? |

mao, I've read the whole thread and I have a few comments for you. One great ideas and a boat load of creativity, so thumbs up on that. Have an exalt. On the other hand you use a lot of 3E/3.5E Pathfinder terminology that you assume everyone understands and many of us do not have a clue what you are talking about. Proofread and replace all jargon with a clear statement. Two that are several things that you were asked to clear up several times and you never did, and I think it is because you either did not understand what they did not understand or you just missed it. So my tip is when you are asked questions, please go point by point answering them in a reply along with editing a previous post with changes. I know this is an old thread so keep up the good work.

In OP new version old version I think people, especially young refs can learn from seeing how ideas are tweaked and revised. |
