Elven Thinblade?

[Trine]

They might add it to the PHB, in which case it probably will be an elven weapon.

I don't know if they'll add the thinblade.

Issue 275 of Dragon also introduced the Duelist PrC, which was reprinted in Sword and Fist.

While Sword and Fist also had a section on new weapons, the Elvish Thinblade was absent from the list.

What would they put in instead of the thinblade though? Any ideas?

 

[krunchyfrogg]

I don't think they'll put anything in "instead of" the thinblade.

Issue 275 is almost 4 years old, IIRC, and there's been no mention of it since.

I think it's gone.

Perhaps instead was a bad word to use.

I just meant that I doubt they'll be using the Longsword as the Elven racial weapon. The Thinblade fit the idea for me and I was asking what else they might use.

 

[Archer]

I don't think any race is getting the stepped up damage or critical weapons as a racial weapon proficiency, only double weapons.

The longsword has been the elven weapon for as long as I can remember.
Should they introduce the elven thinblade as a racial weapon, well, I know what to ban first in revised.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

I vote for the elven daishalar as the exotic oddball elves get familiarity with.

It's basically a finessable double weapon, rapier/dagger combination, from the Swashbuckler Dragon issue (301).

Rapier side: 1d6/18-20x2
Dagger side: 1d4/19-20x2

Not gamebreaking by any stretch of the imagination, IMO.

Thread necro from 2003. Since the updated [Read: "New"] source is a 3.5 book I'm going to guess that the response of "Dragon Mag 275" was the most correct at the time.
