What kind of sword would you be?

[tagryn]

Bastard Sword, although used by many europeans in
medievil times this sword was more of a
collecters sword and was less used for fighting
and more used for looking at, and would only be
used by great warriors or lords/kings. (Please

I seem to have come up as a Bastard Sword, too. I always liked fighting with them (live steel), so...

But I wonder about their limited choices, when I looked at the selections. No rapiers? And their "Short Sword" looks more like what I think of as a Gladius. And where's one of my favorite weapons, the Basket-Hilted Scots Broadsword?

I think the bastard sword answer may be triggered by the "one hit, one kill" answer, since with a sword that size, you've got good odds of ending the fight right then and there if you connect.

(Of course, if it misses the wielder may be in trouble, since it isn't going to be easy to reset for another great blow...and using a sword that size would make having a shield difficult.)

It'd be interesting to know how the bastard sword compares to the falcata in terms of hitting power. Seems like the latter would be a lot more mobile without much loss in overall cleaving ability, but I'm certainly no expert on this.
