They're uniquely crafted and trying to sell Lord So-and-so's blade coincidentally to someone who might have liked Lord So-and-so could be reason enough to get unwanted attention, even for lower class soldiers. | |

(he did not know the man whose blade he took) or "..with a strange blade." (a blade which he was not familiar or used to wielding). The way it is written makes both old and new blades sound strange or weird. ;) | |

| Jun 7, 2016 at 17:18 | comment | added | Jon Story | I agree with this - and note that a common soldier would typically only loot weapons to replace or supplement his own. Weapons are heavy, and in the middle of the battle you're unlikely to be near a merchant - besides, prices will be low anyway with such easy supply around. You're better off looting coins, jewellery etc. | |
