    		 Greatsword
Description: A really big two-handed blade, often ornamented and very expensive. If you have ever been to a museum which showed medieval weapons you have surely seen one (the sword which was 6,5 feet in height).
In my campaign this is the weapon of choice for the noble knight in shining armor (and a strength attribute rating of 23).
To avoid to impale the opponent with this long blade, a second "guard" is usually set in the middle of the blade. If you are a friend of initiative modifiers (which I'm not) this weapon subtracts one step.
