Is there a decent, relatively light HE to use if I didn't want to use a bastard sword?

You could try a forged broadsword: Some of those, I've noticed, are lighter than Crossing scims.

Broadswords and battle(?) axes can be forged to be excellent HE weapons. I think the axes have more impact and less balance.

You can find a heavy slice 21 stone broadsword that's fairly balanced, and fairly suited if your forger is good enough or has the proper mix.


You have been vanquished. That is all.

I believe at 21/22 stone broadsword will give reasonable balance. If done by a smith of sufficient skill.

Battle axes start at 28 stones and can be made p/h/f d/r (if my memory is correct). I'd recommend a broadsword over the axe, simply because I love balance and that's a big 7 stone difference when starting off.

It will. Though, it'll be very low-end Reasonable.

What is the min roundtimes on a weapon like this?

feint/draw/sweep/slice/chop with a HE bastard sword im getting 1/2/3/3/3

That about the same for one of these broadswords?
