Type two-handed sword, exotic
Cost 350 GP

These massive two-handed blades can be employed as slashing or thrusting weapons. They feature a crossbar inserted into the blade, preventing the weapon from becoming overly embedded in an opponent. The saddle sword is often utilized from the backs of large beasts.

The saddle sword is a formidable weapon that demands proficiency in exotic armaments. Its sizeable dimensions necessitate a 10-foot circle of clearance around the wielder; otherwise, its damage is equivalent to that of a greatsword. To effectively wield this weapon, the user must possess a strength score of 14 or higher and be of man-size or greater. Certain enchanted saddle swords are reinforced, allowing them to be used as light lances when the wielder is mounted.
