And yeah, probably giants' weapons... though they kind of want some more DX than RAW give them before that's liable to be more than an embarrassment.

Jackson's Lord of the Rings films showed a compelling-looking example for a very heavy/strong crushing weapon being able to swing, IIRC... eh, well it's pretty crazy exaggerated Hollywoo and world-class magic, but still... https://gfycat.com/uglywindingeidolo...hting-swinging
Thanks. Yeah that makes sense.

Actually, scratch all this. When I was looking at the swords, which has 3 not four. Still more than the others at 1, but not THAT much of a difference I guess.
