>>44389839
Yeah, it's a claymore. One of the largest standard swords in D&D.

Hey guys! Can i play?

>>44389826
Just use a shield in the other hand. Spear guys can't do weird tactics to get around it without exposing their entire body to attacks.

Your spear waifu is a bad
Claymore is best waifu sword, unless you're too scared to get close or out from behind your flat-chested shield.
Try fighting skellys with a spear. Claymore can thrust slash and bash. Spear can thrust or be a quarterstaff.

Would it break your hearts if I told you that they were never called that during their working lifetime, and its a term that is pretty much a Victorian age attribution?

While they were being used, they were simply called a "twa handit swerd/sword"

Flamberge, get out of here. you're only good against Halberds any how.

That's true of pretty much all swords. In their time they were just "sword", and the name we give them is there to distinguish them from every other sword.

>styrian claymore.jpg

thats a bit like posting a photo of a Messerschmittt ME109 calling it a "German Spitfire".

That is a early basket-hilted sword of Styrian origin. (Probably you could argue that its a basket-hilt of Styrian style with a schiavona-esque hilt, or a variant of Norman type 73 or type 56 hilt. (though A.V.B. Norman's typology is crap, which is why no-one uses it.)

A claymore (in those terms) is a basket-hilted sword or basket-hilted backsword of anglo-scots origin, with regional "ribbon" hilt construction.

Just having a basket-hilt does not make it a "claymore", any more than a car for offroad is a "jeep".

Indeed. Claymores own. I like this kind of Claymores.

Can we stop acting like this a real argument
