[QUOTE="Urklore, post: 130704, member: 842"] There have been tons of debates on how to handle the broadsword and ringmail in 3rd edition since they were dropped. I myself when I hear broadsword, think of the conan sword from the movies, the sword of power from the He-Man Cartoons, and any blade that is wide and double edged. Just a big wide blade that was made for hacking and not for speed and elegance. Yes, there were historical versions of the broadsword. Yes, I know there were no histroical versions of ringmail (at least that was the offical answer I got from WoTC). I just wish we had a decent writeup for said weapon. treating it as a longsword just gives me a bad feeling and makes my guts explode. [/QUOTE]
