When plate armor became more common, the sword had to evolve to match. The one handed 'knightly' sword changed, gaining a longer handle and slightly longer blade, very often shaped to be more efficient with a two-handed thrust. Called a 'bastard sword' or 'hand and a half' sword by some, and a 'longsword' by others, these weapons were swords of war, and both the crafting and the use of these weapons was an art in and of itself.

Now your heroes and heroines can prove their mettle with these weapons, as they stand against even the most horrific of foes!
