Quarterstaff is realistic and the double-weapon rule seems to suit the way it is used. Two-bladed sword seems unrealistic in some degree. And if we start to argue if some of Chinese martial arts weapons are really practical for combat or mainliy for exhibition, that argument will never end.  <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" /> And yeah, while there are many weapons which is using chain or being chain itself (both European ones and Asian ones). But Spiked Chain looks more like something used by animation characters (Samurai-Trooper or St. Seiya ..)And, if we start to talk about the size of swords, many fantasy games including D&D are often not dipictiong the real swords well in weight, length nor shape anyway.Well, for me, D&D is a world where a human hero with a sword can fight toe-to-toe against Godzilla sized dragons. Then why not he can't use a height length sword?But each guy has one's taste, anyway.</blockquote>
