With emerald sword changed from oversize to normal size, there is a gap of magical damage type sword that the emerald sword used to fill for neutrals and evils to wield. Can anyone offer a solution/option to this?

This was pretty much the only oversized magical sword for evil/neutral for the longest of time, until the Pyramid came about..it has 2, and are unique.
Non-large size evil/neutral already have the corrosive broadsword(and the sharp tongue) for that mid-level option. Changing the emerald longsword to non-oversized is essentially making a duplicate of that broadsword, and takes away pretty much the only option in that category for large size. I strongly recommend reverting it, including the weight so you can actually dual wield some stuff with it. A bi-product of these weight changes is it's seriously reduced dual wield options. I do believe some of these weights needed updating for sure, but many were over-corrected. I appreciate the weapons updating, but need re-tweaked some of them.

The sharp tongue is now an exotic (blade type), fwiw.

Oh now that I recall.. I think bastard sword got changed to normal size too, which was kind of the oversized magical sword choice for goods.

Just raise whatever is missing and we'll make new weapons. I'm not going to revert anything after we spent hours reading and touring museums for these stats.

Oversized magical type weapons (ave 21) to fill the gaps for:
- emerald longsword (ave 21) -> used by neutrals and evils
- bastard sword (ave 24) -> used by good

Bastard sword is one handed now.

Exactly Dogran, bastard sword is one-handed now (used to be oversized), hence the gap.

I added the first but I dont see how we need the bastard sword replacement "oversized sword" considering that we have a simiilar better weapon recently added via the black pyramid, but if you are feeling 100% sure it might be cool to add a fell dreadlord in battlezone, wielding some kind of abyssal energy weapon... it just doesn't seem necessary to be honest.

Frostfire claymore? It's a unique though, and the thunderblade (also a unique) was changed from oversized to normal size too. Anyway, I am already content with the emerald sword replacement, so no complains here.
