Mandalore's Besk'ad

I see your greatsword...

AND RAISE YOU A BIGGER SWORD!

I need one. Curse you Apillis <3

-Completely 100% beskar?

-This is a very big sword. For reference, Scottish claymores were about 120–140 cm in length and weighed in at 4.9–6.2kg.

That's great, but I didn't base it's stats off of a scottish claymore. I based its stats off of the german Zweihander, which is a 180-190cm sword that weighs in at 2 - 3.2 kg.

And yes, 100% beskar blade. It is Mandalorian, you know.

Sidebar: This sword is wielded by a guy who's about 8' tall. So length isn't really an issue.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Beskad

"Because beskade were about half of the length of lightsabers, beskad users often learned to perfect techniques that allowed them to get inside the reach of their opponent."

Just gonna point that out.

Well, it's a darned good thing that I wasn't making the stock, general besk'ad that your average Mandalorian uses, huh? Would have really screwed the pooch on that one, I daresay.

So the hilt, the grip, everything is one molded piece of pure beskar? In that case, it's gonna weigh more by virtue of beskar being a significantly heavy material on the site--it was decided to balance out the miracle metal a bit with the explanation that one of the reasons mandalorians are more or less the only people to use it is that they are the only ones strong enough to wear the armor.

Those zweihanders are pretty sweet, and I was going to point out that it listed them as being up to 180cm in length, but this passage caught my eye:



If this is the sort of thing you're going for, all power to ya.

Go figure, wikipedia lied to me. Anyways, fixed. I figured 2 1/2 kilos was enough to cover the "significantly heavier than steel" clause. Modded the composition, too. The blade is beskar
