02-09-07, 09:57 AM It's a 3.0 book, so they didn't want to give general access to all the stuff in it.

02-09-07, 10:01 AM It's not left out, per say. It's content is repeated in newer books or is content that doesn't need to be in the LGCS. Plus it's a "pre-3.5" book so we tend to use it a lot less.

But the full blade is in reality nothing more than a Large Bastard sword.

And if nothing else if you take EWP - Bastard Sword and Monkey Grip and can gain access to a Large Bastard sword its the same as having a full blade

02-09-07, 05:08 PM that's spending two feats where u had to use 1 before, i know cretain regions military meta orgs give access to full blade, but when i all most weapons where being made open i just wondered if thisone had been missed

02-09-07, 05:24 PM Even before you would have had to use 2 feats. Its a large weapon so to even be able to use it in 2 hands you would have to have monkey grip. and you need to take EWP - Fullblade to use it also. So its still the same 2 feats

Edited: Reread the Fullblade listing and even checked the FAQ for weapons sizing etc. You could with just 1 feat EWP - Fullblade wield it 2 handed (-2 AB). But you could do the same thing with EWP - Bastard Sword and use a Large Bastard Sword (-2 AB).

With the monkey grip feat added to either one of them you could use it in 1 hand (but not opposite hand)
