Long-blade

These are your shortswords, longswords and greatswords. Each of these have different qualities to them though : Shortswords are small enough to be classed as offhand so you can wield two of these at once if you which. Longswords, however, are primary weapons so if you have average strength you will only be able to wield one longsword at a time, if you specialise in duo-wield fighting styles you can throw a knife/shield/shortsword/etc in your offhand. Greatswords are HUGE. For the average strength character you'll need both hands to swing this bad-boy about. Common to all of these is the chance to create 'bleeders' in opponents which are wounds that will continueally tick  damage until the character dies or the wound is bound.
