Bastard Axe questions was created by alexyak (ayakaiti)

Hello everyone! I found a Larp axe online that is 40 inches in length. The axe's aesthetic clearly is meant for it to be a two-handed axe. So my first question is: Are there Bastard axes in Knight realms? Bastard weapons have a minimum length of 42". I am assuming that the 2 inches wont be a big deal? I believe 2 handed weapons are supposed to be a minimum of 48", so there would be a whopping 8 inch difference (luckily I would rather use a bastard or single handed weapon but I would like to know what all the options on the table are). So any information regarding the aforementioned questions would be greatly appreciated!

I think it would count as a bastard edged or a bastard blunt. It should be legal.

If the entire weapon is 40" it would be labeled as a 1 handed Edged weapon, unless there were circumstances in which you couldn't hold it safely with one hand.

So the 40 inches wouldn't allow me to use it as a bastard? is it really that strict? I find that hard to believe

Do you have a link you can post? Sometimes there are exceptions but we would have to see it.

You would need a weapon that is 42" long for it to be a bastard weapon.

Also, bear in mind, that just because it is labeled a One Handed Edge, that doesn't mean you CAN'T wield it in two hands. You just get no added benefit.

Atmosphere is always important. Because of this special end-of-year and story line wrap-up event, we really wanted to give the players something to remember. Great efforts were made well before the event and in the hours leading up to main mod. We had an awesome group of people that were pumped to give you the best experience they could muster. What else can we say? All of the NPCs on main mod deserve recognition for their efforts and dedication. Their enthusiasm and portrayal of the firey demons really brought so much to the feel of those scenes on Saturday night. Awesome job by all of you and a big thanks from all of us!

A shout out also goes to The Fates: Haya, Angela, and Katie for the great job they did on a smaller mod. Not everyone got to witness it, but word has it they are well worth looking out for in the future...
