    		 Guarda Revange
Description:
This is the weapon for the real swordmaster, made from finest steel and tempered to perfection and balanced to fit only one wielder this blade is very rare. Only races with a superb knowledge of metalworking can produce such blades.
The Guarda Revange was named after its creator Guarda la Chamera de Llalos and his quest. (Needless to say it involved revenge).
The blades are from 3'3'' up to 4'2'' in length (0.99m to 1.27m) and have to be individually fitted for each wielder, depending upon his size, race and overall fighting style. A character with a melee weapons rank below 6 is unable to express himself clearly to the weaponsmith and has a 20% chance per rank under 6 to create an "unfitting" weapon even though the weaponsmith may do his best.
Due to the superior craftsmanship on a Guarda Revange the weapon automatically receives a two step damage bonus as if it were treated by a weaponsmith adept using the forge blade talent, nevertheless the maximum damage step for a Guarda Revange is 12.
The superb grip on a Guarda Revange requires the opponent scoring an excellent success level when trying to disarm its wielder. In addition to that the fine balance of the blade is ideally suited for attacks at blinding speed, giving the character wielding a Guarda Revange a two step bonus to his Quickblade talent or skill, if the character does not possess this talent (or skill) he gains it at rank two, but may not raise it any further and loses it immediately when using another weapon. Apart from that the Guarda Revange offers the same bonus as any weapon with a basket guard. (+1 Armor on weapon arm)
Guarda Revanges have a price range of 500sp (minimum, master weaponsmith who needs money) up to 20,000sp for a Guarda Revange made from exotic material and adorned with precious gems. (and a damage step of 12).
Guarda Revanges never rust and are unaffected by the spell of the same name.
