The 'viking sword' I have seen referred to as a 'carolingian sword' and that is the term I use for it. Much better descriptor, incorporating its origin.

I've never heard this distinction between longswords and bastard swords and I have never seen any other sword than Aragorn's that has that lower all-metal grip. Curious if you've seen other examples of this.

The difference as I understand it, is a longsword is meant to be wielded 2 handed, bastard swords approached the length of a longsword approx 35 inches, and were able to be used one handed but had a handle and pommel structure to allow for 2 handed use.

@@zombieninjapitbull3856 I think there is many misunderstandings of what is a Longsword and I don't know if anyone officially has defined what a Longsword truly is. I just provided my understanding of what a Longsword is in my video.

@MightyBjorn 3 месяца назад

I have seen a few, I just used Aragorn's Sword as an example because it is a pretty famous sword at this point. Another example is the Maltese Knight's Longsword

I would actually make some special rules for the great sword and lump it into a new "great weapons" category, and that if you have less than 16 strength, you get penalties. I would up the damage window from a D12 by also adding a D4, and rename the "great sword" for what it currently is into "two handed sword".

@MightyBjorn 3 месяца назад

I think there is already rules like that but its based on edition and if I recall it was a 12 or higher instead of 16. Understand an ability score of 10 is average with 12 being above average. A STR score of 16 is pretty much a superhero and it doesn't take a superhero to wield weapons like a Great Axe or Great Sword. I have experience with both weapons btw.

FINALLY some is talking about this bs. It always irked me that DnD was adamant about keeping up this misinformationg. Not like WoC cares.

@MightyBjorn 3 месяца назад

This is some that goes as far back as the TSR D&D days. Mean yeah WotC could have fixed it years ago, but they also had bigger fish to fry at the time.
