Maril -- if the Glamdring link goes to Museum Reps then i think i've seen it, but i'm sure the others on this thread would fancy a look (it is a nice piece after all) As far as certain other weapons featured, let me see, how did i have the character playing bout judge appraise Boromir's sidearm... "is that a broad longsword or a long broadsword with enough hilt for two men and a Hobbit?!" (i don't think we should allow that one in, that might just violate regulations! Definately the high-end of the Strength statistic range for this combatant.)<P>And i know what you mean about the broomstick -- when i was taking Sabre fencing in college, i would practice my moves with a replica wakizashi as even with the aluminum just-for-show-blade it was heavier (thus would make me work more) and roughly the right length. (discovered the Sixte parry quite by accident, and it sure came in handy when fighting the class southpaw!)<P>For the rest of your points i'm quite in agreement with you and hope we can keep this thread going -- at least until i can haul out the game rules. i'm thinking that imposing minimum-Strength requirements on some of those larger weapons the way i've done for some of my more fearsome axe mutations may be in order. (such as the little orphaned farm-girl packing the foster family's enchanted longsword probably has enough hilt room for both lily-white hands, and needs both just to lift the thing up!)<P>s.t.<P>|_|) <-- drink up!
