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.
