[QUOTE="Dundragon, post: 3753, member: 563"] Fighting with a short sword involves a lot of stabbing, because one of the benefits of a short sword is that it can often be used as a dagger (you fight in close proximity to your opponent because the blade is so short). Longswords on the other hand, are awkward for this kind of thing, and you primarily slash with them. I don't think that an oversized short sword would do you any good. You would be trying to use it as a longsword, which is something a short sword is not designed to do...otherwise it would [I]be[/I] a longsword. And it would be too long to be successfully used a short sword. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
