Large Swords
Swords have double-edged blades of varying lengths atop a handle. The blade of the long sword is 35 to 47 inches, the blade of the bastard sword (hand-and-a-half sword) is 4 to 6 feet, while the two-handed sword has a blade longer than six feet. Although they may have sharp tips, these swords are designed for slashing at opponents. The long and bastard swords require one hand to wield, while the two-handed sword obviously requires two. The scimitar has a curved, single-edged blade, similar in length to a long sword. Clerics and Mages cannot use any swords while Druids may use scimitars. Thieves may use scimitars and long swords.
