Well that to go along with the reach on it? GF.

Should be uniform across the board, any weapon longer than 150 SHOULD NOT be Sheathable

Yup the devs should just assign the can't sheath tag to all weapons across the board according to an arbitrary number that you give us.

That's what you get when people like Paul, Fasader, okiN and other fine gentlemen do balancing work.

Yep, having a weapon that is LONGER than the distance from your knees to your shoulders+1ft that has to be carried at such an angle that you cant fit thru doorways.  150 is a great cut off

"The pilum (plural pila) was a javelin commonly used by the Roman army in ancient times. It was generally about two metres long overall, consisting of an iron shank about 7 mm in diameter and 60 cm long with pyramidal head. The shank was joined to the wooded shaft by either a socket or a flat tang."

A Roman Legionnaire carried two pila onto the battlefield (Not counting specialist cohorts in every Legion who carried more.). They were "sheathed."

Yep.  Go ahead and show me a 'pilum sheath' for an individual soldier and quit talking out of your ass

Shields 

Even could carry them in the shield and be ready with the Spatha at the same time (Gladius were not commonly used for the majority of the Empire's glorious history, contrary to popular culture).

So....

My ass is apparently pretty opinionated.

Isn't it so weird that a military who decided to use something a lot decided that carrying it by hand was a pretty crappy way of doing things in battle, and found a convenient solution?

granted, this could never be done for things like, say, a traditional pike obviously...

But 150cm long weapon "sheathed" as in you DO NOT have to drop it to use another weapon is a pretty manageable thing to do. I mean, Longbows are pretty long but they could be carried on the back so "sheathed" when needed.

I await your well-informed and opinionated retort good sir Digglez!

I don't know, I recon I could sheath a pike on my back.

Using it would a bit difficult but I suppose I could just lean forward and run at things like some kind of insane bull.

I'm following you o.O

Again countering a game balance argument with a historic argument?

GTFO!
