Choosing the Right Sword for Your Character

Your sword isn’t just a tool — it’s part of your identity in the world you step into. The right weapon should feel like a natural extension of your character’s story, style, and the way you move through the battlefield.

If your character thrives in speed and stealth, weaving through forests or city shadows, a short sword, curved blade, or dagger offers agility and ease of movement. It’s perfect for ambushes, quick escapes, and up-close skirmishes.

But if you’re the type to hold the line — standing strong in formation or guarding narrow passes — a longsword or greatsword provides the reach and presence to match your role. These heavier blades bring weight and authority to your stance.

Style matters just as much as function. A noble knight looks at home with a medieval longsword, not a sleek katana. An elven warrior might wield a graceful, ornamented blade, while a brutal warband leader favors something raw and jagged.

Even the little details — like the shape of the guard or the texture of the grip — help ground your character in the world. The right sword doesn’t just fit your hand; it fits your story.

How to Care for Your LARP Sword

A well-cared-for sword can last through many adventures. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of it:

• Storage: Keep your sword stored flat or hanging, away from heat or direct sunlight.
  
  

• Cleaning: A gentle wipe with a damp cloth after use goes a long way. Avoid chemicals and heavy scrubbing.
  
  

• Inspection: Check your gear now and then for signs of wear — especially after intense use.
  
  

• Repairs: Minor scuffs or damage can often be fixed with latex-safe paint or foam-safe repair kits.
  
  

Treat your weapon well, and it’ll be ready for the next chapter.
