Build your own sword or grab a favorite!!!!

I don't want stuff I'm killing to get close enough to be in reach of a blade. But I'll happily take a bow strung with vampire gut, (life steal) if ebony isn't flexible enough for a bow I'll just varnish it that color.
Quiver lined with angel down to grant stealth to my arrows, and a peaceful death to my foes.

Maybe others can, but this screen needs the A1 HT adjusted (shadows are dark) and is 1600 x 1200 on about 16.25" active area, so Avatar only a little bigger than a postage stamp! :)

Edit:
doing right click, view image in new tab and hitting Ctrl+ loads of time I see something knobbly under the arm? Bit dark and smudgy. It could as easily be a club. Seem high up?

Yes, the idea is to reverse your grip and draw the sword straight upwards - the ball pommel was often used as a supplementary weapon - or in decimation. The sword on the right means that it can be drawn without having to move the shield (carried in the left hand) outwards.

As an auxiliary, I'd normally go into battle with a stabbing spear (hasta) but it would be broken or knocked out of my hand at some point, and I'd draw the gladius.

Legionaries - of course - were armed with the pilum, which would be thrown before close-quarters engagement with the gladius.

A what?
I'm sure I've got that wrong.
 
Ah!

Ahhhhh, but a were-grizzly cute and cuddly up close! :lol:
 
I usually make friends with the fluffy killers.

I think I might be reclusive. Come to think of it. Love that whole see without being seen thing.

You too! Except I think I might be recursive! I think that is different! At least that is what I calculate!:rolleyes:

You write in cursive over and over?

Oh!!!
I want to add runes to my bow too.
I think I better get a skinning knife as well. Maybe I'll get you to recursive my knife so it doesn't slip.

Normally I would charge to do it, but your like family (read clone) so I will do it for free! :rolleyes:
 
Then there's the Sword of Truth from Wizards First Rule .:)
 
Then there's The Cold Sword which is by far the worst incarnation of the Black Sword. The wielder doesn't always have complete control of it.:eek:
 
The Sword of Fateful Reckoning. This blade is heavy into revenge on those it is used against. :)
 
Ok had to think long and hard about all the swords I've come across in my reading and gaming.

Of all the swords that I've met, the Sword of Shannara is my favorite.
forcing the weilder to face the truth about themselves is, in my opinion, A W E S O M E !!
Probably alone in wanting to have that one, but that's ok. It's an odd thing to want a sword to do. And I'll admit, my evil side wants it to see the look on people's faces when they say "oh cool sword, can I try it?"
