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

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