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

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!

I would use a combination weapon katana-shotgun and a parrying dagger!

Just katana vs broadsword? Katana

Katana vs broadsword + buckler? Broadsword

I would prefer a sheering sword or epee de combat to either.

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...

Not another Katana versus thread. *groan*

as to the question, my weapon would be an M1 Abrams tank.

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.

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

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. )

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.

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.

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.
