Longsword / Scimitar

Swords cover a variety of hilt blade weapons, designed for cutting or thrusting strikes. This includes the aforementioned cutlass, hangars, and machetes, as well as short reverse-curve blades such as the kukri and kopis. Long Swords represent a wide range of straight bladed swords, primarily designed for one-handed use. The Scimitar group includes single-edged, curved swords, designed primarily for slashing – though specific types may be straight or balanced enough to be an effective thrusting weapon. Most European-style fantasy two-handers tend to be large, straight double-edged blades, including claymores, zweihanders, flamberges, and other "greatswords." This also includes curve-bladed single-edged swords such as kriegsmessers, nodachis, great scimitars, and dadaos. Stats: cost 10 gp • size M • weight 4 lbs • damage 1d8.
