If you could ask the average person what their idea of ‘sword’ is then chances it are would look almost exactly like the one we received by courier. After initially looking for a 19 th Century sabre, he eventually went for a bastard, or hand-and-a-half, sword from the late 13 th, early 14 th Centuries. This brought an additional emotional edge in that Prague is a world-famous medieval city of great historical significance, especially to Slovaks.
As he’s an extremely pedantic individual he didn’t want any of the generic factory-produced wall hangers and instead began looking for a forge to make one personally for him.Īfter several forges were contacted in Russia, Poland, Slovenia and Hungary, he settled on Fabri Armorum from Prague, Czech Republic. He’s been practicing with wooden and bamboo swords since he was little and he thought it was time he got a real one.
As a graduation present for finishing grammar school with excellent results, and for passing his entrance exams and being accepted into medical school, Brano asked for a sword instead of the usual gold ring or necklace, etc. This was the culmination of months and months of research, deliberation and changes of mind. The shield is only required during the initial charge to protect against overhead arrow fire and the odd backstab (the shield is worn on the back).Yesterday a very special package arrived for my eldest son, Brano. You don't have any ranged weapons, and you're not really going to need them - the Swordsman is plenty fast enough to close the distance to your enemies in good time, at which point a very high two- and one-handed proficiency level means you will be successfully blocking enemy strikes almost 100% of the time (unless two people attack you at the same time, at which point a simultaneous parry-and-sidestep will solve this problem).
You will, for the most part, be wearing medium armor so as to give you good protection against arrows and the odd sword swipe while leaving you with a low enough encumberance that you can lead troops into the melee. Decent attack power, durability, and great agility enusre that the Swordsman can hold is own quite easily in the midst of a melee fray. If you have decided to go infantry, the Swordsman is a perfectly viable choice, focusing on the use of swords (which are generally among the best 1h and 2h weapons). Finally, a decent infantry build that won't turn tail and faint at the sight of bloodied foes.
