Egyptian Sickle Sword?

[Spa_geh_tea]

yeah?

100 speed
32 cut
20 pierce
70 length
8 difficulty

thrust is like the polearm thrust with shield

bump this is too awesome, people comment with thumbs up!

[Seawied]

Cut damage is a bit high... especially for a difficulty 8 weapon Sickle swords were weeded out from history for a reason 

[Wildling]

You mean the Kopesh. A perfect weapon imo, good for slashing and thrusting.

Balance wise 32 cut isn't too bad. Compared to other short weapons, such as the Italian Falchion, it is reasonable

[Digglez]

no reason to add this in before roman/greek armors.

and a khopesh is one of the lighter swords, so it wouldnt be anywhere near the top dmg 1h'ers.

and you're smoking crack if you think it does pierce dmg.  You cant stab with a sword thats got a rounded end.  its a backwards sabre and cuts like a razor, not an axe...meaning its quick and light dmg.  Like a super light version of the Niuweidao

these are much better stats

105 speed
27 cut
60 length
7 difficulty

[Seawied]

105 speed would make it spammable. No weapon should have that high speed.

it would also glance off heavy armor. its designed to kill unarmored opponents. it'd only be .5 - .75 weight.

[Seawied]

You can still stun with 27c quite easily. Speed of 105 would be a very bad idea. I say 99 tops.

Khopesh is as light and shorter than a short sword

Short Sword
weapon length: 81
weight: 1
difficulty: 6
speed rating: 102
weapon length: 81
thrust damage: 24 pierce
swing damage: 26 cut
slots: 1

It should be faster than a shortsword, because its shorter.  103-104 speed.

I believe there were many variations of the Kopesh sword:

Also I think there might be a model out there already.

The xpš of the Egyptian Old Kingdom was a great big heavy thing made of bronze. There's a frieze with a load of soldiers armed with them, but I can't find it online. It isn't the same thing as the Greek kopis, which was a short, curved cutting sword.

[Diomedes]

This looks cool.  For ease of implementation I'd go with:

100 speed
77 length
30 cut
21 pierce
1 slot

It would be a good weapon, for sure, but mainly just a more versatile take on the military sickle.  It would not be a horseman's weapon, or an anti-armour weapon, but it would take down medium armour folk effectively.  It may also work well for archers as an off-hand weapon because its speed is so nice.

[IR_Kuoin]

yeah?

100 speed
32 cut
20 pierce
70 length
8 difficulty

Why make your own sword that is OP and req. 8 str?!

[Erathsmus]

Alright, I guess our only solution to this speed problem, is test the egytian sickle sword, and a katana in rl. I recommend that we go to a retirement home, and say that thereare young people outside protesting medicare. Whichever weapon takes out the most coffin dodgers is deemed with the higher speed rating.

Edit: Nvm that is illegal. Come up with something similair.
