Title: New Sword Falcata
Post by: Osiris on October 15, 2011, 09:50:47 pm
So at the moment i think we could use a new sexy sword!

Seeing as how imo the Liuyedao isnt used much due to the Niuweidao looking and being better.

Liuyedao
weapon length: 88
weight: 1.3
difficulty: 8
speed rating: 102
weapon length: 88
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 31 cut
slots: 1


I propose we replace that with this!

Its a very well known and historically used sword and looks badass!

Falcata
The Celt-Iberians of Roman times were justly famed for their weapons, such as the Falcata; one of the most devastating swords ever made! The inward curving blade delivers a tremendous blow and could split both shield and helmet. Considered to be of Greek, or possibly Etruscan origin, this sword spread into Southern Russia and also Spain. It was in Spanish hands that it was most feared by the Romans.

I´d say 20 pierce, 35 cut, 100 speed and 4,200 Gold costs.ABout that.
/edit: If Im right that the length is about 70.

No guard = no blocking

34 cut
23 pierce
100 speed (MW 101)
75 length
cannot up-block against overhead attacks

Sounds like a fun challenge.  My reasoning for the blocking handicap is that it really is an exceptionally good weapon, in almost every regard, except that realistically it's too slight/short to block many overhead attacks.  The solution?  Make it a baller weapon but with considerable handicap.

Yes, I have been waiting for a weapon so long that has good stats but must use chambers onlt to block. Daggers suck, but I like the challenge.

They used them with a shield, maybe? I'm sure if someone makes a nice model, they will consider it.
