Weapon - Nodachi

[Maeltorn]

A Nodachi is essentially a really long Katana. Where a Katana is around 60–73 cm, a Nodachi is around 122 cm.

The reason I want this weapon (Apart from it being badass and I'm a FFVII fan boy and I think Sephiroth is cool.), is that it would fit the bill for a weapon that would require both Strength and Agility to wield, so I was thinking it could raise both stats but at a slower rate than wielding either a heavy or a light weapon.

There already exist an No-Dachi, but called Topper..


No-Dachi info:
[spoiler]The No-Dachi is the samurai version of the Great Sword. Too heavy to be held with one hand and too tall to be stung to a belt the No-dachi was warn on the back of samurai. Because of its size No-dachi samurai are slow in their movements but have a much stronger crushing effect, for this reason it was seldom used in duels and when used was used in free fight and infantry - cavalry combat.
The No-dachi was forged in the traditional samurai sword manner. It's only uncanny feature is its length, the blade length was about 120cm and the hilt: 30-33cm.[/spoiler]
