Short swords?

Brom · 30th May 2007, 07:03 PM

This is sort of along the lines of my Rapier post awhile back. I was just wondering, why is there no shortsword? We have everything from the plain 'ol broadsword to ninja kamas but no shortsword... Does this seem odd to anyone else?

Shortswords!

I'm sure they will release it with their next expansion: "UO: Medieval"
:/

The BASTERD Sword ---NOW THIS IS A SWORD THEY SHOULD BRING BACK FROM THE OLD D&D ERA

Also called the Hand and a Half Sword. The !!!!!!! Sword was a European sword used primarily in the late 14th and the 15th centuries. The !!!!!!! Sword is a long, straight bladed weapon with a rather plain, undecorated grip (as shown at left). While the blade could be used for thrusting, most often the wielder would swing it like a baseball bat. Ordinarily the weapon could be wielded with one hand, but the grip was long enough to accomodate a two-handed grip when necessary. The blade length was rarely much longer than that of a simple longsword, but because the weapon could be used with two hands (although there was really just enough room on most grips for about one and a half hands), it really couldn't be categorized as either a one or two handed weapon, making it a !!!!!!! as far as swords go. Interestingly, the executioner's sword of the 16th century developed from the !!!!!!! Sword design.
