I decided to start a Bushido warrior as a contrast to my NM and BARs. So I checked out the rules from the variants archive from the Sylvan Cliffs more closely and looked at the rules from Realms Beyond. The rules from the archive seem to indicate that the only swords allowed are Short, Falchion, Long, Two Handed and Great, but the rules on Realms see to indicate any sword will do as long as a Wakizashi (Short, Falchion or Long) are carried on your person. It seems like a large gap between Long and Two Handed if the first case, and I will really miss using Broad and Bastard swords.
Either way I am not too attached to my Bushido so far, and have no problem starting over. I'm still getting used to not having a shield. Talk about needing good tactics, archers eat me alive if I'm not careful. The Butcher is really not that hard the second time through the first two levels. The Bushido is a very fun and challenging way to play.
