I think D&D 5e is a great system and it really starts to shine past lvl 16 where your build has come online!

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Masterwork Bastard Sword" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. Katanas deserve much less than that. Much, much less than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in Japan for 24 Yen (that's about half a nickel) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 minutes now. I can even snap my katana in half by striking a slab of styrofoam.

Japanese smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times and somehow still produce the shittiest blades known to mankind.

Katanas are one-third as sharp as European swords and one-third as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can be cut by. I'm pretty sure a katana could be broken on the hardened calluses of a fieldworking peasant with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why medieval Europe never bothered conquering Japan? That's right, they were too busy laughing at the disciplined Samurai and their destroyed katanas. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because shooting fish in a barrel is entertaning sometimes.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the worst sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require worse stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

(One-Handed Simple Weapon)
1d1 Damage
Incapable of Critical Hits
-5 to hit and damage
Counts as normal-quality if Masterworked

(Two-Handed Simple Weapon)
1d2 Damage
Incapable of Critical Hits
-2 to hit and damage
Counts as normal-quality if Masterworked

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

Why no one play D&D 5e, World's Worst Roleplaying Game™, with anon? Anon am told it am really bad!
>>
No OP, don't write a essay to prove you play games and aren't a secret youtuber, I'll be happy to contribute to the thread and engage in discussion. Bumped.
>>
We're really pumped to hear about the game/supplement you just finished working on. Will definitely check it out on itch/drivethru/Kickstarter!

My players are demanding to read my 2000 page worldbuilding book and the 12 novels that take place in the world before session 0. But I only have written a 4 paragraph note of some of the basic details of the world. The fuck do i do? The session is tomorrow!!!

I actually play games

We just spent 3 contiguous threads creating a fun game and setting without someone farming it for an AI video/AI generated system nobody fucking plays or enjoys so they can try to claim copyright.

I'm so glad birds weren't killed by the CIA in the sixties and replaced with lifelike robots that watch our every move.

Are you guys excited about prices dropping and games becoming more affordable? Can't wait to have young new players in the scene!
>>
I used an action point and rolled a critical hit on my beguiling strands attack tonight and pushed all of the DM's iron circle brigands into a well totally negating the encounter he had planned.
Man was he pissed off.

Am I weird for wanting to play WoD? I try to discuss it in the WoD/CofD generals, but everyone only wants to talk about Vampire: the Requiem.
