That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve
much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana
in Japan for 2,400,000 Yen (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of
solid steel with my katana. Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce
the finest blades known to mankind. Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too.
Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight
wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash. Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right,
they were too scared to fight the disciplined Samurai and their katanas of destruction. Even in World War II, American soldiers
targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected. So what am I saying? Katanas are
simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I
propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d12 Damage
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
2d10 Damage
17-20 x4 Crit
+5 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?
tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

Nooo, the other one.

Hanwei?

>>7433503
Just die...

OP here.
Your Katana sounds pretty badical.
Mine was a cheap 40 dollar one. But, it's blade is really good. I'm planning on replacing the handle and sharpening the blade a bit. If I do that, it's quality should be one around 200 bucks.

I hate swordfags

Real men use polearms.

I've got the sephiroth sword because I like blatantly unwieldable weapons

>>7433581

>>7433503
You kind of remind me of Jack Black.

I was about to tell you that it's your fault since you've read youtube comments then I realized that my mistake was that posting a youtube video on the first place. Please excuse me.

>>7433523
why is someone attacking her with a slab of metal instead of a sword?

>>7433503
You buy cheap dull $20 made in Chinese factory imitation yes?

>>7434424
like it matters, its not like hes actually going to use it properly.

Katana:
The weapon of peasants, literally.

I bought this after reading Tsukihime. I'm not proud of that fact, but it's a nice weapon.

>>7433503

Do me a big favor and shave off that fucking neckbeard with it.

>>7434424
Hey, it was a 40 DOLLAR cheap imatation okay? It an EXPENSIVE waste of money. That I cherish.

I got a katana.

I know a few advanced techniques, like the DRAGON TWISTER.

I've considered getting a Kuji Carne Asada replica.

I only use katana units for flanking. Yari are more dependable overall.

>>7435073
Wait what? "Carne asada" means roasted meat in Portuguese.

My parents won't let me own weapons.

>>7435233

I prefer cavalry for flanking. They're quick enough to do it and their charge tends to grind the enemy to paste, especially if they're already in battle.

>>7435293
That may be more effective when you manage to pull off a perfect flank, but I'm always paranoid that the enemy will find a way to get the better of me with some yari unit I wasn't paying attention to.

>>7433528
Sorry everyone, I'll take him back to /tg/ posthaste.

My unbreakable bat FTW.

>>7435465
No, let him stay, he still hasn't showed me his sisters of battle.
