Katana isn't the strongest sword in the game

Africans didn't wear armor for legit manly reasons and European armor was based

What game lets me throw axes

You might like their swords, but in reality their steel was fucking weak shit they had to fold to make viable.

And the only reason the Japanese like them and feature them in just about everything is because they're a national icon they force feed down everyone's throats as something patriotic.

The katana was garbage and European western swords were genuinely superior.

Everyone who was actually smart though used spears or guns to kill things from a safe distance like intelligent people.

what fuckin lupin movie is this from

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 better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. 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.

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

Katanas are thrice as sharp as European swords and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a longsword can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a knight wearing full plate with a simple vertical slash.

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. Even in World War II, American soldiers targeted the men with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

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

(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d12 Damage
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
2d10 Damage
17-20 x4 Crit
+5 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork

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

tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in d20, see my new stat block.

Katanas being folded 1000 times is a common misconception and I'm surprised how much it's caught on despite being completely untrue. It's usually folded 10 times to make 1000 layers. 2^10 = 1024.

this is the true peak form of chuuni wish fulfilment

all of weeb Japanese delusion condensed into one image

It has caught on as a joke, Einstein.

>Everyone who was actually smart though used spears or guns to kill things from a safe distance like intelligent people.
hesitation is defeat

Western gif using poor quality imitation katana (the kind you'd find for sale in an American Mall). A real katana is forged using many folds and Damascus steel (a technique now lost to blacksmiths) and would easily cut through a western sword like a claymore or zweihander.

You don't know how many people I've met who really believe it. Lots of normies amd fedoras just read it once and take it as fact.

fucking brutal

>a nips power fantasy believing they could take on the average American lumberjack
p. pathetic desu

I will let your Katana be the most powerful sword in the game if it breaks once you block with it though.
