Talk:Broadsword

Can someone help me categorize this weapon? It is not listed in the 2nd Ed. or 3.5 Ed. Player's Handbooks and I'm not sure if it should be treated the same as a long sword or a bastard sword. The text in the article seems to indicate that it's more like a bastard sword, but I'd like to have a PHB reference to back that up. Moviesign 15:06, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Reading the wikipedia article, a broadsword is clearly not a two-handed weapon. The examples given are all one-handed with a basket hilt, which leaves no room for anything but one hand on the hilt. Does anyone have the reference given in the article? It sounds like the reference is wrong or the definition of broadsword was changed for D&D. Does broadsword appear in any other D&D sourcebook?
