A Ranger's falchion?
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2018 5:30 am
So, I've been developing my persona and I've mostly got it worked out, it can be summarized thusly: younger Ranger on patrol, injured in combat, never healed right, uses his disability to deflect attention/get information. That said, particularly if Aristan(how's this for a name by the by?) is going on a longer trek back to the North to see his kin, he might need something other than his trusty staff to defend against servants of the Enemy or just average bandits, etc. The issue I keep coming up with is that even a typical arming sword might be a bit too long, given the pronounced limp I have on my left side. I'm fully ambidextrous, so I could theoretically carry the weapon on the right side, but I use my cane/will use my staff with my left hand. Today, while perusing MERF and Museum Replicas, I found this beauty: https://www.museumreplicas.com/falchion-sword
I've noticed that most people on this forum tend to carry arming swords for defense, but I wanted to gauge the general opinion of this forum on falchions and if you fine folks think that Rangers would carry them. thoughts?
