I would like to see a giant great sword

[EightyFour]

I'm not asking for some uber powered weapon, but I think it would be cool if there was a giant sword in game that was maybe three times as big in scale than a regular great sword. Or if it could fit into a quest somewhere that would be cool too.

Like for a quest I could see it being like VON 1 or Relic where you have to give the sword back once the quest is done.

Also if it would be to heavy to wield for most characters, people might have a problem with the idea of a wizard with an 8 str throwing around this huge sword like it's nothing. So I was thinking with the way str levers work maybe you could put a str requirement to even pick up the sword or pull the sword from the stone.

But I think it would be awesome to see a giant sword almost anime style proportion.

I imagine a bunch of people would disagree with me on this, maybe they would see it as a waste of time, but I figure how hard could it be to scale a sword, but I imagine making it fit in world would be the hard part.

Just an idea I think would be cool and maybe even funny at the same time.

Cloudburst is supposed to be a sword that the Stormreaver once used. Unfortunately it magically scales to player proportions instead of remaining huge size.

It'd be nice if there was something to make it unique like being 4d6 base damage but with a -6 penalty (and being gigantic too)

[Kreaper]

There is a giant great sword on that statue in Threnal!

I always wanted to use that sword!

[DelScorcho]

Make it a massive Khopesh and I'll dual wield ...

I would like to wield bastard swords with 2 hands like they're meant one or 2 handed

Sounds to me like someone's played a little too much Final Fantasy.

The big single-edged Great Sword in game already is pretty goofy-oversized-looking, doncha think?

Naw, not big enough.

I've played Final Fantasy One and that's the only FF Game that I've played and finished. However I believe I have seen a few from what friends have played. I found clouds sword and I'm thinking that is a bit to small for what I'm imagining.

I was thinking more like the sword that InuYasha had Tetsusaiga or even better the one Bankotsu had, Banryu although that was a halberd.

I'm thinking of the anime InuYasha,
Here's an example,
YouTube Link

The first 14 seconds have nothing to do with what I'm talking about. That's intro to the video the YouTube poster made.

29 seconds in that's Banryu, well it's Bankotsu holding Banryu.

Here's a shot of Bankotsu holding Banryu which is the same shot in the video.

Anyway, more like that, although I would say Banryu's size with the DDO style like this one,

Hope that gets the idea across of what I'm saying.

I thought that there was a giant sized sword that is one of the end rewards for the Abbott ???

Here's an even better image, it's rough, but hopefully it gets the idea across of what I'm getting at.

Well there is Enduring Conviction, but that is a long sword. So I don't think it is near the size I am talking here.

U want like Cloud's buster sword from FF 7, or Ichigo's sword from Bleach, I got u, an yes that would be cool just for looks

Oh yeah, like Cloud Buster Sword from FF7.

[Tenkari_Rozahas]

if i remember, even if there were "giant" great swords in the game, you could only use them if you were huge, and had that special feat that let you weild weapons one size catagory bigger than you.

[Korvek]

Compensating for something?

Anyway, a sword that size would just be goofy-looking, though it would certainly be entertaining to see people running around with it.

So with that in mind, /signed.

Cloud Buster? Think more like the length of Sephiroth's blade, combined with the girth of the Cloud Buster... longer than a Spear.

If Raid Loot, my barb would definitely go for it, even if it wasn't functional.

[Tenkari_Rozahas]

so what, it has a 15 foot hit range? seems awefully big for a puny guy who physically could barely weild it (the thing would probably weigh almost 300 pounds alone.think how hard it would be to swing something that heavy, even if you got uber strength.)

Arraetrikos' Hitbox(Shroud part 5) is absolutely horrifyingly massive, so why not just use a hitbox copy?

I always thought there should be STR and DEX [other stat] req's for some items.
Not just racial or class or feat.

[EightyFour]

I think the best thing about this would be to see a high strength halfling run by with this, that would be awesome, I can imagine the head turns along with the "What the F**k was that?"
