About the Dire Sword
A heavy two-handed blade meant for hewing rather than fencing, the dire sword answers to weight and momentum before it answers to skill. Its broad, thick blade combines slashing sweeps with a point solid enough to punch a thrust through a gap, and its sheer mass lets it batter through guards that a lighter weapon would merely bounce off. Frontier warriors, prison-forged brawlers, and those who never trained in a proper style all gravitate toward it because it forgives crudeness; a strong arm and bad intentions carry you a long way. The cost is speed and recovery. Every swing is a commitment, and a missed cut hangs the blade out where a quicker opponent can punish it. But in the hands of someone big enough to swing it freely, the dire sword ends fights in a single overhead blow.
