Hello Tig, some concerns came up about this item listed on your application and the skill needed to make it:
Quote:*Carbon-Steel Lenticular-Broad-Fuller Bladed Two-Handed Longsword, with a Differentially Forged Core and a Layered High-Polish Blade.
- The techniques involved with the smithing of this item are not supported by your character's age and skill level. With just this to go on, it seems you may be over extending his knowledge by applying all period appropriate smithing techniques, instead of what was most likely the result of his cultivation and what he was generally making. Please define the skill fully to include exactly what smithing and forging methods he uses, along with having these skills align with realistic expectations of knowledge garnered as explained in the backstory.
- The differential hardening techniques used to make a blade with a softer core would not be appropriate for the weapon you described. A longsword would be better suited to differential tempering, since longsword wielders generally parry and block with the edge.
