Pretty restricted in your weapon choice (good image though). Any one of the magical +1 or +2 katanas you can occasionally find until you can get the Malakar for the AC bonus, and if you have ToB, Hindo's Doom.

That's pretty much it. I hate to say it, but Katanas are VERY rare, you're better off getting at least one slot in Longsword (or specialize/mastery) to give yourself more options.

When you get right down to the core of this game, its more of a tactical medieval fantasy combat game, than roleplaying. Although the dialogue between characters is a nice touch, its still all in the end about how much firepower you can bear with a specific mix of characters. I think it doesn't make sense to limit the choice of katanas (coolest sword ever!) to only a few useful ones, whereas other swords have massive powers (Carsomyr, Purifier, and weapons like some of the axes and Flail of Ages). It isn't that hard to write up a fake history and make up some stats, so why not more useful katanas?

My advice, download the TeamBG editors, and make your own balanced weaponry.
