Oversized weapons are truly great. I'd easily take a giant hammer/mace over a sword although. Gonna be sure to test one out if I ever bother writing another character for this.

Giant swords for the win. You see, the main reason I thought it was big for him is the fact it is called a claymore....Why make such a massive handle/guard if you only use it one handed? 
[/quote]A counterweight would still be desirable there, I figure..? Unless the sword in question didn't have that either.
