Just use a pair of handaxes or light hammers, and flavor the appearance however you want.  There's no real reason you can't just say your two short swords are actually longswords despite using short sword stats. Or whatever weapon you choose.And while rapier/dagger is a real style, 5e14 didn't really enable that either - it enable dual weilding rapiers, which afaik isn't a real thing - its rather quite silly and counter intuitive for thrusting weapons. The dagger is supposed to be used for parrying or a backup if your rapier is tied up, not for blender-of-death fighting.If you really want to enable more Weapon Masteries, and you're clearly not afraid of homebrew, then it'd probably be easier just to create new weapons with new Masteries.</blockquote>
