The venician "misericordia" (misery)
So called because it had a square blade and was used to stab.
It was easier to put someone out of his misery than try to cure him.
Even now it woul be hard to save someone with such a wound.

A guisarme. That's pronounced "glaive" or perhaps "halberd."

After that, a glaive-guisarme. Or maybe a glaive-glaive-guisarme-glaive-guisarme-glaive.

To drift into another sketch, when choosing a medieval weapon, ask yourself: WWtGwtHD?

Definitely the Long Sword, You can use it to stab, slash, cleave, chop, dice, and thrust. It's a very flexible weapon and almost anyone can wield it.

The samurai sword use to be my favorite but I have since changed my mind to the deepeeka khopesh.

The repeating crossbow is also a favorite.

If it were any weopen, Id choose boomerang, becuase of my Aboriginal Background.

But my fave medieval weopen would be a poisoned dagger

Mine's a Pike (All races used it) what could be better than stabbing down a horse and killing men at atleast 6 ft away

I would say a Short Sword (used by every race) for it's ability to be able to be used with a Shield, block slash, block block, double slash

Ok. First. theprofessionblablabla. You double posted annnd your first post isn't true. and your second post didnt make much sense and isnt true either.

The repeating crossbow is also a favorite.


I'd be wary of that one. People have built an exact replica and tried it out. Although somewhat effective it also jams alot, and once hat happens it takes forever to unjam.

Joao, Try to be more specific. Like, what sword? Broadsword, short sword, Scimitar, 2 hander. etc. etc. etc.

Same with Archery, what style of archery and/or what kind of bow.

No it wasn't. You're thinking of a flail.
