Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheLoneRanger1979" data-source="post: 6848430" data-attributes="member: 6804148">I'd just make the long sword 2d4 to compensate for the larger heavier blade and more momentum. Probably add a heavy attribute to it, to prevent it from being used in dual wielding too.Bur are they all in the same mechanics category? Is a long sword really the equivalent of an arming sword when used in one hand? And is that same sword equivalent to a zweihander when used in both? In the first case, the blade is still heavier and longer. The grip would be less stable. If i had it my way, i would add some damage (say 2d4 vs 1d8), but lower to hit value as -1 if used in one hand. Thus you could still grab a shield with it, but you aren't gonna hit as often. In the second case, a zweihander can almost be considered a short spear in some grips. And the blade is much longer and heavier then a long sword. So if this is 2d6, slashing, heavy, two handed, then the long sword would justify 1d10 heavy, versatile. Note; in both cases i presume the damage die to be dependent on both the length and the mass of the blade. This of course may be a completely wrong line of thinking, but the dagger/short sword/long sword die progression makes me think it isn't in DnD context.Yep, me too. Although i'd hate to see all the ruckus this would cause on the forums <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
