Bastard Swords?
Posted: 09 Jan 2006 05:13 PM
So far, I have been completely unable to find any better swords then a +1... Is this being worked on or am I just missing something? :)

Short but to the point, I hope :)

Keep looking is all I can say, there are several very nice ones IG, some more powerful than others, but definitely there are some lurking around gathering dust in the corners of VivesWink.

Well, alright then, was just a surprise that it's very easy to get good longswords but barely any bastard swords.

Thanks for the input!

Not a surprise at all. Exotic weapons are exactly that: exotic and hard to come by.

Just as a thing I noticed...

Why are Bastard Swords and Katanas the exact same thing? All they have is a different graphic attached to them!!! >_<

They're different sizes and weights.

They both weigh 10 pounds, and AFAIK, they both are considered "Large" weapon size :|

They are there to give characters different RP chances.

no.. a katana is definately only a medium size weapon cause my halfling weapon master uses one.

but then, I think the bastard sword might be medium as well.. cause I think I recall someone with a halfling who used a bastard sword "as a Hin sized great sword"

My halfings have used everything from bastard swords, battle axes, katana's, battle hammers to long swords. They're all medium.

If you look closely there are a few differences between bastard swords and katanas; not just in weight and look.
There's a handful of 'good' bastard swords out there, of course... they are few and hard to come by. My Knight is grateful for having a +3 bastard sword to his name. Look and ask around, you'll find them. In my opinion decent longswords aren't -that- common, they just appear to be because there's alot more different types available.
Cheers.

CHOO CHOO!
