Whip Swords and Bastard Swords in particular. So it stinks that a number of them aren't in. Although, on the other hand, a number of said weapons can be easily handled by 5E's refluffing encouragement and adding a few properties onto them.A Whip Sword is just a refluffed Longsword with the Reach property.  The two bladed sword, ala Darth Maul, is a refluffed Quarter Staff that does Slashing damage instead of Blunt.  Adventures in Middle-Earth 5E makes the Broadsword into a Longsword with the Finesse property.  The Katana is both a refluffed Longsword and a refluffed Longsword with Finesse.  The Elven Thin/Curve Blade is a refluffed Rapier, same with the Saber. A Katar/Scalpel is a refluffed Dagger. The Chain Whip is a Whip that does Piercing damage. Etc, etc, etc.That being said, I do wish there were more options. Which is where I become a bit "blasphemous" in that regard by using this handy website to get weapon ideas and their damage die.[URL unfurl="true"]https://2e.aonprd.com/Weapons.aspx[/URL]Yeah I get it's a website that is for Pathfinder 1E/2E, but its weapons listing is EXACTLY what I like and reminds me a lot about 3.0/3.5's Exotic Weapons.  And just by viewing a number of the weapons statistics, you can pretty much see what the listed Damage Die would be as well as its traits.So for example, a Bladed Scarf is basically a Flail with the Reach property.  A Battle Lute would be a Club with the Versatile Property and probably something towards Performance. Also looking for Monk Weapon ideas? That website is full of good ideas like the War Fan and the Monk Spade.Also an aside: I also like using that website to see which weapons are considered *Heritage Weapons for various races in regards to Weapon Familiarity. Really dig that.*</blockquote>
