Jan 02, 2007 12:18:37 was doing some research saturday, looking for stats on a broad sword. In a few different places it says that his favored weapon is the broad sword (dont have my books with me at the moment, but i know for sure under the spell description for spiritual weapon in AoM). Yet in a few other sources (DLCS maybe) it has longsword listed. adding to the confusion in HOotS it lists broad sword as his favored, but his aspect uses a bastard sword.

The sad thing is i noticed all of this while all i really wanted was the stats on a broad sword. I know that in Sword and Fist it is listed as equivalent to long sword stats, but would that also mean that an elven rogue who is racially proficient with long sword would also be proficient in broadsword with out buying the martial weapon profiency? If not have any of yu found stats for a broadsword anywhere? and finally, what is the favored weapon of Kiri Jolith (longsword, broadsword, or bastard sword)? thanks for your help

Jan 03, 2007 23:53:56 I think 'broadsword' is just an error. I noted that the Weapon of the Deity uses a 'broadsword', but they don't exist in v3.5 DnD - the only sensible conclusion I reach is that they meant 'longsword', as that's Kiri-Jolith's favored War domain weapon.

Holy Orders lists it as a longsword.

It's true that his aspect may use a different weapon, but there's nothing saying an aspect has to always use a favored weapon. Aspects represent different sides of a god, so it stands to reason that Kiri-Jolith's aspects would use more than one type of weapon.

Jan 04, 2007 13:24:48 Anywhere you see broad sword in a D&D product, you can substitute long sword. The two names mean a hundred different things, historically - a broad sword in AD 1200 is not the same as a broad sword in AD 1600. Which also doesn't even come close to the question of whether it's one word or two words.

Cheers,
Cam
