In fact, I think that the scorching would actually decrease the weapon's effectiveness. That fire could cauterize the wounds and keep them from bleeding properly, giving them a chance to fight you a second time, or even a third!pulse2 said:I think the whole sword idea loses itself a bit with the fire and such :/ Why not just a normal sword? Must you scorch your opponent as well?
As for me, I choose a sturdy spear, something with a blade sharp enough to cut if I slash with it and with the strength to withstand a sword blow. Or alternatively, a single-bladed axe with a round shield, each inlaid with runes denoting that I fight for the users.
