I can even cut slabs of solid steel with my katana.
Ummm... Mate, that aint steel, those are bamboo sticks that "represent" muscle and bone tissue... Maybe your japanese dictionary is wrong man. Bamboo is bamboo and not steel...I cut steel.
Don't think I like the suggestion tbh... right now, barely anyone except the properly themed guys are running around with Katanas. I'd like to keep it that way.After some afterthought I have decided to edit my proposed buffs a little bit.
Making that stats that much better would certainly lead to a lot more people using it... Nope, don't like that thought.
Though the stab could use a small upgrade - probably the only bouncy stab left in the whole mod. :)

Like when they unite all the Jedi on Dantooine and then eat their force?
Nodachi Better. :mrgreen:Quit gravedigging!
... 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.
...
So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in cRPG. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:
...
Katana
+43 Speed
+36 Pierce
+75 Cut
2,400,000g purchase price
170,000g upkeep
...
1 Yen = 1 Gold

I once saw akatanalance shooting lasers cut straight through a tank.
Yeah, I totally agree with Apsod, and in all honesty all 2handers should get a major buff, because 2h class is the weakest class of the mod.
What I propose.
Katana : +10000 Speed, +100 Pierce Stab, +300000000 Swing damage (Don`t forget that Apsod san can cut steel plate with his katana, TOTAL REALISM)
P.s : I`m pretty sure Thomek will masturbate with my suggestion.
In one episode in warehouse 13 there was this katana that was so sharp that it could split light. So when the guy held it's edge towards observer, he became invisible.
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.
Katana is best sword, I saw it in chinese cartoons!
Alright... Look. The katana was a weapon of eastern origin that was super duper op. You could literally cleave through full plate with a katana like it was paper. To this day, we don't fully understand how the ancient Japanese made such badass weapons. The katana was EASILY the most powerful type of sword.
However, I think this is one of those situations where it would be better to NOT be super realistic. The 2h spam is already bad enough.
If you wanted to make the katana "realistic" it would have to IGNORE armor, be able to chop peoples weapons in half on parry, and do at LEAST 60-70 damage. Yeah lets not do that. Downvote for you, sorry :|

Cant tell if serious..
A katana really isnt sharper than any other sword afaik, the curve just makes it slightly better for slashing. And you dont slice through plate, this is just insane. "Well made katanas" are no better than the average european sword, theyre just getting close to being on par, japanese pig steel just needs insane work to actually be usable without the weapon becoming complete garbage. They still are though.. That helm couldve been made out of the same garbage aswell, try doing that on an european helmet.
And then theres also the katana tests made now recently, that use katanas made of modern steel, which basically makes them into a new weapon and not a traditional katana.
old :)
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe the tests done in that article involved legit ancient weapons and armor. And I think they did a few more tests with katanas made by modern-day mastersmiths in the same fashion the ancient Japanese made them.
And btw my dad's childhood friend is the American mastersmith. I'm not even kidding, he makes shit like katanas and stuff to decorate the whitehouse, and of all the blades he makes, the katanas are without question the easiest to slice n dice things with. So I'm not just pulling these ideas out of my ass, although I'm not saying I'm absolutely right either, never swung a legit ancient katana against a guy in plate. :rolleyes:
Woah wait is this a dev? Is this the Jesus who could answer our broken strat questions?
