Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Hwæt!" Weapons Close Range Edge: Conan the Barbarian Since we're comparing the fictional weapons here, it's fair to it's hard to say which of the two weapons has the stronger enchantment or ability, since we only have vauge wording to go off of. While it's true that blood tempering is a terrible idea, the sword was said to have supernatural properties regardless, and we can't just ignore that. With that in mind, I'll still give this to Conan. While I can't say for certain which of the swords is stronger, I can say which of the sword was more reliable. Beowulf's sword was whipped out and broke in one of his second large battle, whereas Conan has less of a record track when it comes to losing his weapon. Mid Ranged Weapon: Beowulf Normally, I would give this to Conan in any other case, but Beowulf was shown to be able to use his ridiculously impraticle weapon with ease and efficiancy, so I'm going to give this edge to him in terms of pure range. While I could argue back and forth that a sword this big just wouldn't work past lugging it around without rhyme or reason, the feats don't lie, and Beowulf should be a monster at a range. That said, if Conan can breach this range, Beowulf won't be able to use is weapon that well, and the general speed and efficiancy of the axe should trump the pure power behind Beowuld's sword. TBC
