Longsword

The longsword is an extremely common and very versatile weapon. It is generally laid out in a cruciform pattern with four major sections; the blade, the crossguard, the handle, and the pommel. It has a long, straight, double-edged blade and is typically wielded with one hand by creatures of roughly human size. Some varying designs have a handle large enough for two hands, or at least most of the second hand, which allows warriors who use two hands to wield a longsword to put additional attack power behind their blows. It can make a critical strike on a 19 or 20 and deals 1d8 of slashing damage. Longswords have 10 hardness and 5 hp.
