A '''falchion''' is a type of two-handed [[weapon]] that appears in ''[[SpliceHack]]'' and ''[[Hack'EM]]''.

In SpliceHack, the falchion uses the scimitar skill. In Hack'EM it uses the saber skill which was merged with the scimitar skill.

==Generation==

Falchions are uncommon, appearing slightly less than scimitars.

In both variants, [[Barbarian]]s can start with falchion/scimitar combo as an alternative to the battle-axe/short sword weapon set.

==Strategy==

In Hack'EM it is possible to create one by #crafting two [[scimitar]]s together.

==History==

The falchion first appears in [[SpliceHack]].

-The term falchion refers to various designs of European swords, but generally describes single-edged one-handed blades (in contrast to  Hack'EM and SpliceHack's two-handed version), often with a slightly curved tip.  In appearance, they could vary from resembling a [[scimitar]] all the way to resembling a meat cleaver.  Curiously, while falchions are frequently depicted in medieval European artwork, only a few dozen survive to the current day, compared to thousands of double-edged blades (e.g. [[long sword]]s).
