Which would you rather have in a one on one duel? I would lean more towards a Katana. IP: Logged |

Depends on the broadsword, but probably the katana - assuming I knew how to use it, which I don't!  Given more choice though, I would opt for a rapier-like blade to which katanas seem vulnerable: offering no protection to the hands. 1911A1 is a dishonourable choice. Shameful! IP: Logged |

I would use a combination weapon katana-shotgun and a parrying dagger! IP: Logged |

Just katana vs broadsword? Katana Katana vs broadsword + buckler? Broadsword I would prefer a sheering sword or epee de combat to either. Stormbind, trhere is nothing shameful about anything designed by John Moses Browning. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Depending on the situation, I'd go with a sword and shield if we had no armor. If armor is allowed (even maille), I'd go with my trusty longsword. Only reason I say this is because I'm more comfortable with my range coverage, and defense with a sword and shield. That said, practicing with a longsword is steadily catching up. I prefer the armor cause I still get a little tied up and am succeptable to draw cuts and other "weaker" blows. Kind of a fun topic to ponder... IP: Logged |

Not another Katana versus thread. *groan* as to the question, my weapon would be an M1 Abrams tank. IP: Logged |

Hmm, if we're allowed to choose an arsenal then I'd have to go with an F-14 Tomcat, and an english longbow, just in case I run out of bullets/missiles. IP: Logged |

If I could choose any arsenal, I would just use the two Olson twins (one in each hand) IP: Logged |

They would surely turn against you, for they are now insisting that they NOT be called "the Olsen twins". ( Apparently it's insulting all of a sudden. )  IP: Logged |

Ah yes, the olson twins, they bring out the dirty old man in all of us. Back on topic, yea, katana or broadsword, Id pick a katana cos if swung at equel speed at each other the katana would cut the broadsword in two due to its harder outer edge and superior slicing ability. Ciaran IP: Logged |

Geesh Ciaran, now your starting to sound like 'you know who', LOL Since broadsword is such a large group term, I would ask for a little more refinement there. However, I would think that the cross would have to way in this battle. IP: Logged |

But the broad sword come with energizer batteries. Though in reality, I trust my Mauser 98K [This message has been edited by Tak (edited 10-27-2004).] IP: Logged |

i agree with TAK. The Broad Sword and the Katana Bolth have a base dammage of 1D6 (slashing), so.. id choose the Broad sword as it can be boosted up to 1D8 provided the wielder used two hands, and is a weaons master. But id choose the katana if it had at least a 1D4 elemental enhancement. IP: Logged |

Well, if we're taking the anything-goes route... "I say we take off and nuke the place from the orbit. It's the only way to be sure." IP: Logged |
