Wow! Thank you all so much for the wealth on info. I greatly appreciate it!

I'm a busy person and I don't want to have to come up with a bunch of details about the campaign world. My preference is to concentrate on the factors local to the PCs/adventure. But if I need to plop a scenario on the map I can because it is not THAT detailed. I mean, how hard is it to place...

I knew about the Evermeet thing from before, but a friend said it is no longer populated. Could this could be part of whatever that exodus was? And thanks for your help.

I just recently created two Elven characters for an upcoming campaign and decided they should be antagonists. One is a Wood Elf Druid who uses a longbow. His people used to live in the lowlands until the High Elves invaded and drove them up into the mountains. The second is a High Elf Cleric...

Scouts out! Scouts out indeed! NTC was so much fun. So, to summarize: Rangers are the dead guys the Fighters step over to get to the opfor. :)

Hunter plays just fine Playing a Hunter Ranger now. There are five characters in my party (2 fighters, 1 cleric, 1 wizard, 1 ranger). It is true that the Fighters have an increased damage output in comparison. But my scouting abilities has allowed the group to get the jump on opponents...

It is pretty obvious you are not going to find anything I say funny. So consider yourself not the target audience. Lighten up. It's just a name in a single line item of a game. And tell your cousin I said hi.

Slob, that kid probably never met Brian's cousin. :) When I think of Katana one of two things come to mind: Some Japanese dude who shaves the top of his head, walks bow-legged, and never smiles. or A pale guy with a receding hairline, a ponytail, and a neckbeard. But I see your point. If the...

So... If you want DnD core to be European/Mediterranean-based: don't use the name katana (because it is specific to a culture that is not European/Mediterranean-based) If you want DnD core to be generic: don't use the name katana (since it is very specific to a culture) Are we now all in...

Curved longsword sounds good to me. The sound of it reminds me of Brian's cousin. She was hot.

Brian's idea of "Gross Messer" doesn't sound appealing and "badly balanced, overly short, two handed saber" is just way too long. Back to the drawing board. :(

If it will make you feel any better, I am equally opposed to the kukri. The khopesh is Egyptian so I have no problems with it, but I didn't think it was in the playtest. What the hell is a katar? Are you making stuff up? Back in my 2E days in the Army, I knew a guy from St Charles who played...

So in my campaign we can call it a saber. Thanks for the idea, I like it. In your campaign where Japan expands and conquers France...or Marco Polo sets up a chain of shops where he sells goods shipped from Kyoto...you can call it katana. And I have the perfect name for your campaign...

Scimitars were used in Spain. That's about as far West as you can go before falling off the edge of the world. :) It seems reasonable to me that a European-style setting would be common. It also seems reasonable to me to have Moors in a European setting. It does not seem reasonable to me to...

I just want the name katana to not be included in core. Put it in an Oriental Adventures setting.
