On a spiral staircase? I think it's a pretty big advantage. Ah, I see I quoted the wrong line of the post.

Yeah, I mean't in and of itself. It looks like there are three sets of modifiers at work here: The height advantage, the left handed vs. right handed advantage, and the handedness vs. the direction of the staircase advantage.

Brootse Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 In my Glorantha the first sword was shaped like the Death rune, ie. it had crossguards. But it's mostly just Humaktis who have crossguards on their swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably any culture that developed a cutting sword would see the value of crossguards or develop more advanced hand protection. Especially one where the civilians carry swords.

Ancient Greek swords had crossguards, just not those long ones used by Medieval and later Europeans. Asians also didn't ever use those long ones. And blade binding can be done with curved swords, and khopesh-like blades too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
