Never did they face knight,
The Brits fire cannons at Japan harbors,
If they will not trade.

High ranking officials suggested compliance,
The emperor listen to his advisors word,
Open negotiations hid actually did,

150 hundred years after this,
They go to war with Gaijin navy,
Gaijins uses god level hax,

9999 damage they all sufered,
They realize they could not the gaijin overcome,
They knew they needed techology,

They became what they are,
High technologic society with low birth rate,
Now they are all oldies.

Knight versus samurai faggot idea,
Overdone redundant useless non-existant stupid retarded redudant,
All words fitting topic well.

Jesus Christ, I know its a troll but honestly it has more to do with the skill of the people involved in the fight then equipment.

Knights were professional soldiers of the highest caliber and trained every bit as rigorously as samurai. Sword and shield, mace, lance, bow, horsemanship, military tactics, you name it, they were taught it. The same goes for samurai. These were not common footsoldiers, they were nobility with access to the best instructors and teachers of their eras.

No, a katana isn't going to cut plate. On the other hand, a European style longsword isn't going to cut right through Japanese armor either. Both suits were designed for heavy combat and the rigors of war.

What its going to come down to is experience and the skill of the two individuals involved, and likely who lands the first blow.

>> No.2354694

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.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Katana Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Bayonets deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine bayonet in France 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 bayonet.

French smiths spend years working on a single bayonet and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

bayonet are thrice as sharp as japanese swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a katana can cut through, a bayonet can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a bayonet could easily bisect a samurai wearing full lamellar with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why feudal japan never bothered conquering France? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined knights and their bayonets of destruction. Even in World War II, German soldiers targeted the men with the bayonets first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Bayonets are simply the best blade that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Bayonets:

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

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bayonet" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. The Xiphos deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine Xiphos in Greece for 1,000,000,000 Yen (that's about $1,000,000,000 dollars) and have been practicing with it for almost 5 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid titanius with my Xiphos.

Greek smiths spend years working on a single Xiphos and fold it over nine thousand times to produce the finest blades known to mankind.

Xiphosare four times as sharp as French bayonets and five times as hard for that matter too. Anything a bayonet can cut through, a Xiphos can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a Xiphos could easily bisect a French knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why France never bothered conquering Greece? That's right, they read the historical account of Frank Miller and wet themselves over the thought of doing battle against Sparta. Even in World War II, German soldiers targeted the Spartans first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Xiphos are simply the best blade that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Bayonets:

Also, it was more of a sidearm used for the infantry, so it wasn't that strong.
