Other sources claim it is the bastard child of a greatsword and a longsword. Most were designed to be used in thrusting attacks, but the weapon also has two cutting edges, while boasting a crossguard for defense. Post-Cataclysm, it is strange to see such a weapon employed by anyone, but fighting in melee has gained popularity as ammunition has dwindled. It is distinct from the claymore, which is an Eadwellian design with a rounded tip and a forward-angled crossguard whereas the \u00e9p\u00e9e b\u00e2tarde boasts a pointed tip.","armor_class":"","strength_requirement":"","weapon_subtype":"Martial Melee","weapon_damage":"2d8 (2-handed)","weapon_secondary_damage":"1d12 (1-handed)","weapon_damage_type":"Slashing","weapon_range":"Melee","attunement":"","source":"Dustriders","image_gallery_id":"","tags":"","isShared":"on","templateId":"2999","blockId":"1561351","world":"d5980cc3-bec4-49c7-949c-febefe22da42","folder":"fc57f631-d070-40e7-9e56-4f4823bf7c5a"}
