Not the time to be picky there Lance. Also, probably best to go with the poleaxe. More effective reach, and a crushing weapon is highly effective against birds with hollow bones, if you can hit them. Plus, "claymores" like that one (which is more akin to a longsword than a claymore historically speaking, but that's not totally relevant here) are essentially the same sword Inga's using, but longer, so no real advantage other than not using a cutting weapon on what is essentially armor. (For those wondering, a historical claymore was a one handed sword, with a relatively wide blade and a full basket hilt, often padded with cloth. Due to the confusion from pop culture, most refer to these now as basket hilted broadswords, or basket hilted claymores. As a side note, most swords throughout history didn't have such specific naming conventions, since there were rarely enough different types of sword in use in one area to bother calling it anything but that language's version of sword. Most of the names given to different swords are more recent, in the last few centuries, since people started really studying history.) |

Fascinating! Thank you for the insight, the stories I've read always describe the claymore as a kind of two-handed heavy weapon. |

I think you mean [claidheamh leathann], which is a broadsword. [claidheamh mor] is pretty much two handed... at least it called "big sword" for a reason. Another question, called that by whom? After all, it's all modern classification. The real 17th century Scots were not signing their swords. |
