an obsidian black scimitar
>app scim careful

An obsidian black scimitar is a medium edged melee-ranged weapon.

You are certain that it could do:
poor puncture damage
great slice damage
poor impact damage

You are certain that the scimitar is fairly balanced and is
reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the obsidian black scimitar is moderately
strong, and is in pristine condition.

The obsidian black scimitar is made with metal.
You are certain that the obsidian black scimitar weighs exactly 29
stones.
You are certain that the obsidian black scimitar is worth exactly 420
lirums.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.


This makes me sad.

The fact that it is possible to make a weapon that is LIGHTER, MORE BALANCED, and 2 steps higher in damage rating than a capped LE katar kind of sucks. Ohh but that isn't the end of it--there is also the fact that it also has the potential to have basically the exact same minimum RT as a capped LE katar.

The effective strength for the scimitar is 30, and for a capped katar it is 29(assuming the katar weighs 38 stones).

I really hope things change in favor of Light Edge weapons once dual wield and the new forging rewrite takes place.



The only thing to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.

And if I'm not mistaken that scimitar is made of speciel metals and extremely rare

You are right; however, even with rare metals you cannot increase the max damage of a katar. The fact of the matter is, a capped katar is pretty much a capped katar, rare metal or not.
