SWORDS

All swords are relics of earlier ages, and are symbols of prestige and power. They are only wielded by individuals with high standing, such as knights, barons, warlords, and kings.

Modern day blacksmiths are banned from forging new swords. Carrying a sword attracts fame and infamy. Peasantry assumes your high status, while highborn individuals are wary or hostile of a sword-wielder. Bandits fear your combat prowess—or covet your splendor.

All swords are +1 weapons, granting +1 to attack tests and damage rolls. They are slashing weapons, medium weapons if held in one hand, and great if wielded in both hands (although they are never bulky and always occupy only one slot when stowed).
