Big Swords.

[Solareon]

I know they have big and small shields but a big sword would kick, also you should have a hilt of scabbard in the back of your character to place your sword. The sword you have a ready state and a mode which you have to pull it out (1 second delay) may require some changes to the sword template but I think if you just use the angled sword images (the 45 degree shots) then it should be okay and the 30 degree (I'm assuming) shots for left and right. Then when you are done using your sword you have to press a key to put it away (1 second delay to put away) it would make graal more realistic. also if you have your sword out when you run into people you hurt them (as a normal swing but they don't bounce back and your sword is disabled for about .75 seconds and you put your sword away. It would be kind of neat if you could drop you sword (like if it is out and you are hit by another sword, no damage but lose sword) and you have to run and pick it back up before you can use it again. Pickign up would require 2 seconds, 1 to grab, 1 to put back away. Then another second to take it out into ready position again.
