rare metal greatsword? 08/06/2010 06:22 AM CDT
Curious if anyone has tried to make one. Not sure if its even worth the amount of metal it would take to make, but would love to have an idea of how heavy and how hard hitting one could be made using them.

Also, for a regular forged greatsword, is 102 stones with l/bc/h poorly/well the heaviest/hardest hitting combo available for them?

You tap a vicious greatsword of pattern-welded kertig and glaes alloy that has flecks of blood on it that you are holding.

Braided spidersilk cording twines about the gripping surfaces, extending from the skull-crusher pommel, past the raven-wing quillons and down over the blunted edges of the ricasso which extends three hands-widths onto the damascened blade. Platinum inlay fills the smith's mark consisting of a raven clutching a hammer and tongs in its claws hovering over an anvil.

You raise a vicious greatsword of pattern-welded kertig and glaes alloy and then with a quick motion bring it downwards, slinging the gore everywhere!
It's as clean as it's going to get.


A vicious greatsword of pattern-welded kertig and glaes alloy that has flecks of blood on it is a two-handed edged pole-ranged weapon.

You are certain that it could do:
low puncture damage
devastating slice damage
heavy impact damage

You are certain that the greatsword is poorly balanced and is well suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the vicious greatsword is quite hard, and is in pristine condition.

The vicious greatsword is made with metal.
You are certain that the vicious greatsword weighs exactly 86 stones.
You are certain that the vicious greatsword is worth exactly 2000 lirums.


Today I would make it 100 stones, but then I am stronger today. I had to grow into this as it is. App seems a bit low for all the special metals, alteration and goring.

Greatswords do that. They are, after all, twice as long as most other swords.
