As you may of heard Sagebrush has developed the game 'quest' though a query has arisen out of this game.

Wht would be more valueable to my fellow crusaders A two handed sword or one handed and shield.

Now a two handed sword would be good, But a one handed sword and a sheild means we can be efficent when on the defensive or offensive.

What do you think?

Let's see...it all depends on whether you like to attack or defend....

Personally....I would go for the 2 handed sword..it inflicts a lot more damage and it is better to take out an opponent then to parry with them until someone gets bored or makes a mistake.

I would say a one handed sword and a sheild.

you two are doing all right, I don't even understand the question (der) so will hold off until I've logged on!

Gt what have you been drinking? You are logged on mate!

GT you should be asleep. It is 12:46am here in Perth. So it must be 2:46 am of there in Sydney. GO TO BED

it all depends on the strenght and skill of the crusader ... a 6 foot 7 big strong crusader like me would choose 2 handed and batter foes into submission using superior reach as well. A smaller crusader would be better off with 1 handed sword and shield to attempt to parry big hits and tire out the big guys

There's a better way....

Trade in your sword and shield and become a Ranger and use a Long Bow.....

Hit them from a nice safe distance..

Personally(IMHO) , being a complete and utter coward, I would go for two shields, hide under them until everything is over and go home.

That's probably what I would do ren.
