The sword of defense, a weapon quite common in Britannia and on Serpent Isle, appears in Ultima VII and in Ultima VII Part Two.
Description[edit]
Not every warrior excels at both offense and defense, and not all can afford an expensive set of plate armour. To make up for this problem, this sword was created. The sword of defense allows a fighter to be aggressive in combat, while strengthening defensive capabilities through magic, making it harder for the enemy to inflict damage. A good weapon for those who are novice in the way of the fighter and have yet to gain experience. More experienced warriors shun it however, for they think of it as a beginner's weapon, lacking the power necessary to strike down their foes.
Effectiveness of the Weapon[edit]
- In Ultima VII, a sword of defense has a damage of "6", a reach of "3", and a defensive value of "3".
- In Serpent Isle, a sword of defense has a damage of "6", a reach of "2", and a defensive value of "3".[1]
