| A magical weapon with twin razor-sharp blades. According to legend, a knight once suggested the idea of a double-bladed sword to a master forger as a joke, but was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was the forger capable of making such a sword, but that the weapon produced was extremely deadly. |
This weapon falls into the Long Blades category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is best used by the dexterous.
Despite its ridiculous concept, the rare double sword is an desirable weapon for any character looking to wear a shield while still doing heavy damage in melee combat, as it has an excellent base damage of 15. The only one-handed weapon with similar base damage is the eveningstar, which is similarly rare (and scales with strength rather than dexterity).
