Well, as the game has only one decent scimitar, (useable for most of the game) Belm, has anyone made any +4/+3 scimitars/sabres with decent abilities? (Apart from the boring "bonus to ac" ones.)
Scimitars are supposed to be super sharp quality weapons, not the rubbish we're getting! Any Vorpal/keen ones out there? (It is a slashing weapon after all.) |

The Water's Edge is a +3 scimitar, but it doesn't really have anything else special.

In throne of bhall they said there going to have at least one great version of every weapon so a +5 scimitar will probably show up

Why are Ninja tos and Washizashi (can't spell) never mentioned?

I have two nice scimitars on my site that are unlike most in the game...
It is stupid to categorize scimitars and ninja-tos and wakizashis together. It would make much more sense to put them with katanas... Oh well. ------------------ Can an elf get a break anywhere these days? http://angelfire.com/rpg/aurican |

Katanas are in a class of their own. I think they classified Scimitars and Ninja-Tos and Wakizashis together because of the curved blades.

Perhaps because there are hardly any scimitars, wakizashis and ninja tos in the game, it would be silly to have a seperate class for ninja tos and wakizashis. Also, ninja tos etc. have more in common with scimitar or even short swords/daggers than katanas.

also, ppl that used Katanas trained for their whole life on that one weapon almost exclusively, so having it as its own proficiency only makes sense

Yea well if you trained with a katana your likely to have trained with its companion sword the wakizashi.
