But is here for comparison. Note how rapier deals 1d6 damage, which seems more accurate. But twohand falchion and onehand bastard sword are possible, but less characteristic of these weapons generally. Falchion and scimitar appear redundant, or perhaps even reversed, where the falchion is properly the onehand weapon.Note, 4e and 5e correctly understand the "longsword" to be longer (3-4 feet) than the normal sword (2-3 feet). Whence the 5e longsword is "versatile" to optionally use both hands such as for a claymore.</blockquote>
