There's no actual katana in 4e. IIRC in 3.5e wasn't that a bastard sword?

Yeah, in 3.5 all katanas were simply masterwork bastard swords.

 

[renau1g]

That's right, forgot about the masterwork part. I suppose I should say were, as 3.5e isn't gone, I should say "IIRC in 3.5e isn't that a bastard sword".

Hehe, also just based on the images of the longsword/bastard sword they look to be around the length of wakizashi/katana.

I think I fixed the things you took issue with renau1g although I might have missed some.

Good stuff, only 1 problem I see. Dragon 366 isn't approved yet.

Here's what's approved:
LEB:House Rules - ENWiki

You'll need to go to:
Living Eberron - EN World D&D / RPG News

Set up a new thread called: [Proposal] Dragon 366.

Might just want to say you're looking to get approved the Scales of War backgrounds.

Actually, a wakizashi should be a (masterwork) shortsword, not a longsword. Historically, the standard length of the blade was about 20 inches.

Thought that one was the ninja-to?

Never mind, apparently ninja-to's are 100% Western myth made... *doh*

Wakizashi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exactly.

Though personally, I prefer the Nodachi or the Nagamaki.

That's what I get for trusting everything in Baldur's Gate II...

They had ninjas in Baldur's Gate II?

 

[renau1g]

No not really, but Yoshimo was an NPC and cam equipped with ninja-to. It was also a weapon you could get proficiency/focus in, although it was a pretty poor choice as there were so few of them (that and the katana)
