Are there Katana's in Eternity

Hi

I was thinking of recreating something like a Kensai Fighter in Eternity.

 

Is that possible?

Are there Katanas?

If not I might stick to a normal fighter build

Only curved swords are sabres.

[Diogenes]

You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They've got curved swords. CURVED. SWORDS.

[PrimeJunta]

No, they've got much better swords.

[Dongom]

No, they've got much better swords.

 

Also guns, which should logically better than any sword. 

[CaptainMace]

Modern guns yes. Not these.

[Fardragon]

I believe you can create a fighter for whom it is advantageous to not wear armour, and cannot wear a helmet.

I'd like to build a rogue ninja with two wakizashis and a bow

[Heijoushin]

As much as I love asian stuff, I'm not sure katanas and wakizashis really match this game. Fortunately, there are none.

Ah, dammit. In some later playthrough I wanted to make a Chamberlain-like character dual-wielding pistol and katana going "I shoot you! If I don't shoot you, I cut you! Wakarimasu ka?"

Well, first, no, there are no katanas.

 

But second, you'll be glad to hear that building a Kensai-type character is actually extremely easy.

 

I actually kinda want to try making a High-Dexterity Clothed (or Robed, possibly) non-Tank Fighter now. Shouldn't be too hard, and it might be nice to have a Fighter that isn't built around Knockdown.

 

Generally though, when I think Kensai, I would think light-ish two-handed weapons (in case I'd go for an Estoc, it's like a large, two-handed rapier) or a single One-Handed weapon (in which case I'd go for a Sword for style or Sabre for power). Unfortunately, duelists are notoriously terrible when compared to two-handed weapons and dual-wielding, but it's been buffed in a patch we haven't seen yet, but it's unknown exactly how or how much. Some people really like to dual-wield though, and it would work very well, especially with sabres.

 

While sabres have lost their Damage Over Time mechanic (which I understand, but I still think it's sad as hell, because it was interesting and unique) they now do above-average damage, so dual-wielding sabres could be a really good build.

cool thanks! I've got a monk, I think I might add weapon specialisation if its possible (im only level 3) I know its a bit rundant since bare fist are really good at later levels. 

 

I think I might try to create a dex non-tank fighter as a extra adventurer.

 

I really love the game, BTW!!! I was like 18 when I played BG2. This really bring backs memories!
