[QUOTE="Edwin Suijkerbuijk, post: 6944166, member: 6801221"] You might add another sword to take the rapiers place. If you look at DnD the blades seeom to go Dagger, short sword,longsword, greatsword. Looking at how historians categorise blades it tends to go : ( lengths given are high end) knives dagger (50 cm) arming sword (90 cm) longsword ( 130 cm) 2 handed sword. (180 cm) in DnD the long sword is often used as a one handed sword, while in the istorical list the arming sword is the dedicated one handed sword, the long sword is mostly used 2 handed. the armng sword actualy looks like what many people think of when they think of a Dnd longsword [URL]http://www.valiant-armoury.com/image/cache/catalog/va-408-the-crusader-1200x800.jpg[/URL] While many of the short swords in DnD would be considerd daggers. So using this list and deleting the rapier it would go. Knives (1d4 damage finess) what DnD now calls daggers. Daggers (1d6 finesse) what DnD now calls short sword Arming sword (1d8 slashing finesse) single handed and replaces rapier longsword remains the same as Dnd longsword Greatsword remains the same as Dnd longsword [/QUOTE]
