The problem with this is a real hand crafted katana costs upwards of $100,000. I doubt ANYONE has ever tried to see how well it would cut a longsword or how well a longsword would cut it.

I'll venture a guess that the weapons you see cost less than $1000 each.

Cost isn't everything of course, modern steel making means a mass produced sword would probably destroy a weapon from several centuries ago even if it cost $40 but it's a concern that must be addressed and is unlikely to ever be solved.

>> No.7235048

Katanas were never intended to cut other swords. They were intended to cut through Japanese armor, which was much lighter than European armor.

That depends the weapons forged back then were some pretty amazing fucking things, The oldest blade I've held was almost perfectly weighted, you could feel that someone actually bet their fucking life on this thing. Also we've lost alot of the mettalurgy recipes they used on weapons back then.

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 "stale old copypasta" bullshit that's going on in 4chan right now. Masterwork Bastard Sword copypasta deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself wrote a genuine copypasta edit in /tg/ after 250 posts (that's about 3 days on the board) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even make cynical 4chan nerds rage with my copypasta.

4chan trolls spend years working on a single copypasta and repost it up to a million times to produce the finest text known to mankind.
Masterwork Bastard Sword threads are thrice as long as Flare threads and thrice as annoying for that matter too. Any thread furries can ruin, a Masterwork Bastard Sword edit can ruin better. I'm pretty sure a Bastard Sword pasta could easily bisect a 3.5E versus 4E thread with a simple post.

Ever wonder why moderators never deleted any Masterwork Bastard Sword thread? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined trolls and their copypasta of destruction. Even when /tg/ was good, Anonymous reported the threads with the bastard sword copypasta first because their trolling power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Masterwork Bastard Sword is simply the best copypasta that 4chan has ever seen, and thus, require better recognition on 4chan. Here is the stat block I propose:

(Masterwork Copypasta) All trolls on the thread get +5 to rage checks, thread cannot be deleted.

Now that seems a lot more representative of the posting power of Masterwork Bastard Sword copypasta in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Bastard Sword pasta needs to be more effective on 4chan, see my new stat block.

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

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine lightsaber in Corucscant for 2,400,000 credits (that's about $20,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of durasteel with my lightsaber.

Jedi smiths spend years working on a single lightsaber and calibrate it up to a million times to produce the finest lightsabers known to mankind.

Lightsabers are thrice as sharp as common vibroblades and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a vibroblade can cut through, a lightsaber can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a lightsaber could easily bisect a Dark Trooper wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval drones never bothered conquering the Jedi? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Jedi and their lightsabers of destruction. Even in the Clone Wars, drone soldiers targeted the men with the lightsabers first because their killing power was feared and confusing.

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

(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
