Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 3632558" data-attributes="member: 13966">They just use scimitar stats, cuz they're effectively the same (remember, the 3E rules don't usually differentiate between multiple cultural styles of the same weapons, with a few exceptions; thus why katanas, despite being rather differently shaped from war swords/long swords/broad swords, and varying in size, are just classified as 'bastard swords' in 3E because it's part of the 3E design philosophy).The saber, though, could represent it I guess.  It's statted in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book, as a weapon used by the Tuigan and Nars.  Sabers in the FRCS are medium, martial, melee weapons (in 3.5 they'd be classified as one-handed weapons, BTW), that deal 1d8 slashing and piercing damage, with a threat range/multiplier of 19-20/x2, weighing 4 pounds and costing 20 gold pieces.  Plus the saber yields a +1 circumstance bonus on attack rolls with it when mounted.  So in other words it's kinda broken, a longsword that gets an extra +1 on mounted attack rolls without any balancing drawbacks.  :\ Kinda like the Forgotten Realms in general.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
