Well, by "your guys" I really meant Joe Spearman, but I confess I don't know what heroic blades are. I didn't find them on the wiki, and even with CBM 1.6 and the debug mod on I can't forge those. Is that some whacky mod gear ?

It's actually called the "Hero's Blade". With CBM 1.6 you should be able to forge it. 2E. Two-handed weapon. Does extra damage to larger creatures.

like that one hoburg sword?

I suppose you've not seen the adventures of Aracana the markata scout? ;) With a Hero's Blade and some assorted gear he went and chopped up giants left and right :D

Just to point out, the markata was a sort of a comedy test, but it proved suprisingly succesfull. After that I've tried out Hero's Blade in some more "serious" manners, and I've sort of fallen in love with the thing :D I tend to get the best results by having more than one Hero's Blade wielder (two or three are usually enough to smack up anything before artefacts come around)) and rooting the target first (vines, earhmeld, fetters, etc). All you need is to make the large target rooted for one round, and it gets chopped up :)
