--- Quote from: Headphones Sacchi on October 26, 2011, 03:30:31 AM ---Also, anybody got any tips on how to make a swordswoman who fights with her sword sheathed fight? I'm serious.

She beats people with her scabbard, using it like a regular sword or even a club.  She'd probably have to compensate for the additional weight somehow, but other than that, depending on how realistic you want it to be played, it should work out fine just like that.

Does she keep it sheathed because she's under some kind of geas or code of honour that means that whenever she unsheathes her sword, she has to kill someone, but she, uh, doesn't want to kill people, or something like that?  Or did she just have a little accident with superglue~? >.>

The sword is basically a power enhancer for the user, however, if the power of the sword is naturally greater than the raw power of the user, the sword takes over the mind of the user, the sheath is a seal against that, the swordswoman only unsheathes the sword as a last-resort.

Thanks for the tips though, I should be able to make do like that.
Iced Fairy:
That's pretty much Hyo Amano's style from the Last Blade. : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6spHOv9tO4  Though admittedly Hyo's style is kinda....

Basically you're fighting with a club.  Use it as such.
Dead Princess Sakana:
Depending on the sword, the use could be closer to a kali-stick than a club as well, which is actually kinda what that video Iced linked looks like (specifically that quick three-hit-combo a few seconds in). That would pretty much only work with a straight short-sword though, where the weight is distributed equally. Else you end up with a club as was mentioned already.
