[Sir_Dr_D]

There was some arguments earlier on giving the two handed swords higher defense, so I put it in. It is to make up for the fact that repel is not all that good. It simulates swords being made for parrying, and it being harder to get close to a person with a 2 handed weapon. The defense is still not nearly as good as what you would get with a shield, plus you don't get the extra benefits that you would get from the extra sheild slot.

But You make a good argument. We will see what other people say.
