I love them for flavor reasons, but I don't know if the feat support or applications are there to make them as good as rival weapons.Falchion, High Crit is nice, and 2d4 is a bit like having a Brutal 1 on a 1d8 weapon, but I just don't know if the slight increase in power is enough to use it over a one-handed Scimitar. Are there any feats or other reasons to recommend it?Glaive: You gain Reach, but you lose the High Crit. Is this inferior to the Halberd and reaching Spears? Are there enough Heavy Blade perks to make it worth my time?Katar: Now, this one I can see some definite use in, high crit on an off-handed weapon is a nice boon, and Rogues can enjoy the Light Blade aspect. That being said, are there viable ways to dual wield them? I was playing Final Fantasy 8 last night, and Kiros looked awfully neat with them, making me want to give it a shot. I know Tempest Fighter could do it, but perhaps a TWF Ranger would be better suited with Scimitars and have them use that feat elsewhere.I know this isn't an optimization forum or anything, I just want to know if these weapons have any selling points or utilization I may of missed.</blockquote>
