1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
Beacause of both its lenght and weight, The Warsword sits exactly in-between the Bastard Sword and the Greatsword, and since it fills that particular niche it is variously called "Long Bastard Sword", "Short Greatsword","Bastard Greatsword" and sometimes "Three-handed Sword", because of the common lenght of its grip which has enough place for three hands.
Many swords with a heavy blade mass and/or width, such as many examples of the historical "Montante" and "Claymore", fall into this weapon category, as well as some swords with a slightly curved blade with good weight presence, such as the historical "Odachi".
The Warsword is often used with two hands on foot and sometimes in one hand from horseback. Due to its overall lenght and weight, the Warsword is hard to use in one hand properly without special training: thus, it's an exotic weapon.
Anyone wielding a Warsword sized for him in one hand with Exotic Weapon Proficiency takes only a -2 penalty to attack rolls instead of -4.
A character can use an Warsword two-handed as a martial weapon, without penalty on attack rolls.
