Message: <blockquote data-quote="chorolus" data-source="post: 5156283" data-attributes="member: 89552">I'm rather new to DnD, so I apologize in advance if my questions seem a bit out of place...Anyways, for a while now, I've wanted to create a Beastmaster Ranger -- possibly a multiclass or hybrid class -- who uses a Double-bladed weapon similar to a Double Sword but that is more similar to a double-sided Khopesh then it is to the Light/Heavy blade the Double sword is defined as.Personally, I think it's silly that a Double Sword is classified as a Heavy Blade and Light Blade... I've always had a heavier, more jagged-edged blade in mind whenever I think of a Double Sword. So my question is this:Could I create a new weapon classification for my character that is essentially a Double Sword with Khopesh blades on it? Or would such a character concept be limited to House-Ruled games?I realize that weapons in DnD have been carefully balanced between dice sizes, +hit bonuses, and weapon-type abilities...but if I balanced the weapons stats to be essentially the same as using a Khopesh in each hand, would that work? I realize that such modifications would ultimately be up to the DM, but what are your thoughts?</blockquote>
