The bastard sword is similar in construction to the [[broadsword]], except with a longer, heavier blade, and a lengthened handle that can easily accommodate two hands.

			Switching between one-handed and two-handed requires the use of the {{boldmono\|[[GRIP (verb)\|GRIP]]}} verb. To use the weapon one-handed, the character only needs to train in [[Edged Weapons]]; to use the weapon with a two-handed grip, only [[Two-Handed Weapons]] skill is needed. (This is in contrast to the [[katana]], which when wielded one-handed requires training in both Edged Weapons and Two-Handed Weapons.)
	The term, Bastard sword, in modern use, and in the context of [[GemStone IV]], refers to a specific kind of [[longsword]], one that is a compromise between a one-handed arming sword and a [[two-handed sword]].
