stab only rapier would be 100% useless, it'd be like a dagger but worse.

2. Doesn't fit timeframe.

Show me a post where chadz makes it crystal clear what time frame cRPG is in.

1. Swords gay.
2. Doesn't fit timeframe.
3. Swords still gay.
4. 100+ speed, stab only? Bitch, please. Then agility builds will flock to this bad-boy like no-other. Blocking won't be important as you'll just get spammed trying to fend off a "125 speed rating" sword by a user who has 170+ wpf.
5. If this sword is implemented, I think lightsabers should be too.

1.  Ninja's are gay
2.  Ninja "outfits" didn't exist except in hollywood.  Nothing says assassin like an outfit only an assassin would wear.  "Gee, I wonder who's trying to kill our lord.  Oh wait, perhaps it's that guy in black pajamas, a mask and a sword on his back (which is also stupid).  Nah, couldn't be."
3.  Ninja's are still gay.
4.  Shit, that's why agility builds flock to the long dagger.  Owait.
5.  If katana's are implemented, I think rapier's/sabre's should be too.  Owait.

Anyways, on topic.  I would love a rapier model, HOWEVER I think the side sword and Long Espada are fine.  Only issue is that the Side Sword's stats are shit.  It is the same damage stats as the Long Espada, however it trades 8 length, for 1 speed.  Every good duelist will tell you that this is a highly shit trade as 8 length is far more useful than 1 speed when damage stats are the same.  A speed buff would be a bit much so given the shorter (and arguably probably stiffer blade because of it) I would suggest giving a +1/+2 cut to the side sword.  This would make it a different but viable alternative to the long espada for the swashbuckler's out there.
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

Yes, Sidesword was OP at one time so Fasader, the king of item balance, made it completely useless!

Firstly, Who says I use a katana? Also, idk about you, but as far as "outfits" go, I use steppe armour. Furthermore, I would be happy to see katanas removed from crpg as they are spam weapons in my opinion.

Lastly, if ninja's are gay, they are less gay than all the other builds out there.

 
125 speed and as Khorin said, chamber block only. Pure awesome.

Yeah, because agility builds wouldn't use a weapon thst has 125 speed, and immense pierce damage.

Yeah, because speed matters when you have a short weapon that can't block and can only thrust.

No, chadz has made the decision that gunpowder has not been invented in calradia.
