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

None. A few thousand to hundreds of thousands, sure.

Ain't that the truth. My Shun set was about $1,500, but it was worth it.

Pick two:

[] Sword
[] $100

If you want a REAL sword, you're gonna be paying more than a hundred dollars for it. Fact.

And if you want a good sword, you're probably best off getting one made in Nepal, not Japan.

Are you kidding? You can cut down a tree with a large knife if the blade is stout enough.

>> No.2080211

Well, of course. I thought we were talking along the lines of actually using a sword, the blades of which are rarely if ever strong enough to survive being slammed full-strength into a tree enough times to get all the way through the trunk.

>think you can cut down trees with a sword?
cutting is all about sharpness which is based on how well the blade was cut and the hardness of the blade, as long as the blade has enough tensile strength to absorb the shock any blade is capable of cutting through a tree, its all a matter of how many strokes of a blade.

>> No.2080342

>>2080329
Of course the type of tree makes a difference also.

Because you were making points about the conditions of the blade. Was this not obvious also? Of course you're going to cut better with a higher quality blade.

>> No.2080402

>>2080384
was I really? reread my post, it claims that as long as a blade has the minimum required hardness and tensile strength it will be able to cut through wood, so in other words all blades are capable of cutting through wood.

>> No.2080411

>>2080402
Apologies, but I guess I misunderstood tensile strength and hardness to be part of a blade's quality. Guess I'll head to bed, now.

quality can mean many things, a quality blade is not necessarily good at cutting
