Note: An attack roll, which fails with a 1,2,3,4, results in loss of attack for one round. Wild swings don't sit well with a weapon of this size.

This is a weapon, which did actually exist in Europe in the early dark ages, was in essence a lance sized double edged blade, it's was generally used in place of lance during real combat. In some rare cases men of great and sometimes legendary strength used these in place of smaller swords. Because of it's huge size 8-12 feet it was extremely slow, however it did extraordinary damage when it met its target. Depending on the strength of the character attempting to use this sword the damage will change based on how much they can brace themselves to follow through on their swing.

P.S This weapon is in no way related to the glaive guisarm in the D&D books ,and it is based on a real but extremely rare weapon.
