A broadsword is a weapon usually used in combat against other people. It has good overall combat characteristics and, as a one-handed weapon, it can be used with a shield without penalty. It is superior to the Shortsword in every respect other than its "point" attack, which is slightly weaker.
Availability
Broadswords are commonly carried by foreign traders and semi-commonly sold by driikilais weaponsmiths, usually of fine or masterwork quality.
Broadswords are sold in weaponsmiths and goods sheds. Foreign traders and Njerpez warriors also carry them.
