Looks much like the stats for my schianova(sp), though the longswords construction is a bit weaker if I recall. I can't log in right now to check though to confirm. Like Teeklin said, I'd use it. :grin:

I would use that longsword simply for the fact that it is fairly balanced. Generally longswords are poorly or worse (excluding the Elven longsword which just sucks all around anwyay).

Heh oh how the times change....

The elven longsword is better than it appraises and is a good starter weapon still. I think if you take one to a forge and grind the word "Elven" off, it might not suck so bad.

For a system that started out so colorful, titles are becoming a washed out shade of grey.

Yeah.. these days people are looking for weapons that are actually good rather than a weapon they can swing with low RT at low strength.

I wouldn't know about forged weapons. They are few and far between in Plat.

Oh got a chance to log in and get the info on the blade for comparison to the longsword.

"Paladins. There ought to be a bounty on them."

Ah, ok I see where that might be what he meant. :nods: I just don't like comparing a fine weapon like that to an orc blade of a falchion! :grin:

The schiavona is so much more then a over sized machete. :grin:

Jim


"There is no help for our kind. We walk a lonely road."

"Paladins. There ought to be a bounty on them."

Could anyone tell me where I might be able to buy a schiavona or a falchion by any chance?

Thanks a mil!

<<Have to disagree Olesh, the schiavona is nothing like a falchion.>>

They have the exact same stats and comparisons. It's one of my favorite store-bought weapons, also.
