A '''long sword''' is an [[attack types|edged]] [[weapon]] that is more than twice the size of a [[short sword]], but still 30% smaller than a [[two-handed sword]]. Long swords have the same basic attacks as other swords, but benefit from increased damage potential over short swords, and increased usability over two handed swords. | A '''long sword''' is an [[attack types|edged]] [[weapon]] that is more than twice the size of a [[short sword]], but still 30% smaller than a [[two-handed sword]].

Although longer than standard short swords, most dwarves are still able to equip long swords. With height and broadness modifiers, some dwarves ''should'' not be able to use a long sword, and a few others might only manage to do so two-handed. Currently, due to a [[#Bugs|bug]], long swords can be equipped by all dwarves. | Although longer than standard short swords, most dwarves are still able to equip long swords.
