Straight Swords for Samurai?

[Tsiron]

Looks great even still!

Thank you!

I'll take this chance to point out that many european swords that could match katanas in cutting power existed.
And please bear in mind, if you argue against giving samurai swords not adhering to the samurai fantasy then you are also disqualified from and argument that every class should be able to glam any armor.

Based on my understanding katana and longswords had quite a bit in common, both in terms of context (sidearms for a noble warrior class) and use (as nimble, two-handed swords), yeah... but with stuff like this around I somehow suspect historical accuracy isn't (and shouldn't be!) really a concern.

Since this thread was made before EW and now came back, I would like to point that Blade of Divine Light from EW's Extreme trials is basically an European styled sword as a SAM weapon.

gonna have to wait for next expansion before I can get it but yeah I quite like its design, several nitpicks aside (the scabbard overall, a spike pointing straight at your character's crotch when held etc.)
