I think Steiner had Provoke, but don't quote me on that. But aside from that, he was the tankiest of the bunch for sure. I think his Trance quadroupled his attack power the higher or lower his health was (again, don't quote, i can't recall).

On topic; I couldn't really see anything outside of Theif using that kind of weapon, but their playstyle would probably be too similar to Ninja. Eithe way, I'm fully biased because of my love for IX and I would LOVE to see theif swords get some action ingame.
