I'm fine either way here, although the originals did use scimitars.
Yes, that's why I said "instead of".
Problem is, they're scimitar damage is relatively pathetic. A scimitar armed Sis'thik would be doing 1d6+2 instead of 2d4+4 (assuming it wielded it one-handed). It's much better off just using its claws.
That's a common problem with creatures with two claw attacks - they need a pretty hefty weapon for it to be worthwhile then not just clawing their foes.
Besides, a falchion can be sort-of-like a big scimitar.

I'd prefer d4 too.
Good, we'll stick to tetrahedral randomizers for the claw damage, then.
