"Quemadmodum gladius neminem occidit: occidentis telum est." ("A sword by itself does not slay: it is merely the weapon used by the slayer.") -Lucius Annaeus Seneca, _Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium_, Letter LXXXVII: Some arguments in favor of the simple life, 1. 30. ca. 65 A.D. trans. Richard Mott Gummere, 1917. |
This weapon falls into the 'Long Blades' category. It is a two handed weapon.
Great swords are large, two-handed Long Blades that do decent amounts of damage. They are less powerful than triple swords, but easier to use at low skill levels and far more common.
