So I guess I wasn't being helpful unless you want to completely rewrite the combat system. And there are elements we havn't gotten into yet! So, now I'm pretending that I agree that the greatsword is the most ultimate weapon ever, and anyone serious about combat should buy one and master it (though in real life, we all know the most ultimate weapon ever is the katana <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). You know what I see? I see everyone looking at fellows carrying a greatsword and avoiding them. Obviously they're the sort who lives for combat. THey're going to cause trouble. The guards probablly are going to call for help then have about 20 of them try to confiscate the weapon.  The shortsword on the other hand, that's a gentleman's weapon. After all, people might be travelling through some rough neiborhoods, and need to defend their lady friend. But they're not looking for a fight, if they were the sort to go looking for a fight, obviously they'd be carrying a greatsword.And very few people would be using a greatsword. I mean, harlots aren't going to be able to afford them, and certianly wouldn't wear them if they could. It'd scare away their customers. City guards most places would use the simpler maces and short-swords, and the tough guys trained for combat in big cities would use Great Swords because when they're out, they're looking for trouble. Greatswords would be kind of like longbows, when someone has one you KNOW they can use it.So, do you want to re-write the entire combat system, or just apply a little glue?</blockquote>
