Properties[]

Compared to a regular bastard sword it has a -1 bonus to THAC0, increasing the wielders chance to hit.

Description[]

Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, the bastard sword derives its name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and the long sword. The bastard sword has a double-edged blade and a long grip, which can accommodate both hands if preferred. The overall length of the bastard sword ranges between four feet and four feet ten inches.
