Class Kits and Archetypes

Yes... because it is important to alter a totally game driven stat when correcting a reality driven one.

I never noticed that weight before. 10 pounds is a bit ridiculous. I googled for weight of a two-handed sword and the range was 4-8.8 lbs, claymores being about 5.5 lbs.

Now, I don't know if the HP needs increased or decreased, since that is neither here nor there for when correcting a weight listing. RAW a katana is just a masterwork bastard sword. Not sure if the 10 lbs was a typo for Koumei since Dwarven Waraxe is 8 lbs per the SRD, so 5 pounds lighter would be 3, which is about right.

[Koumei]

That was a typo, and I have changed it to 3, but I need to make it clear that I don't actually give a shit about weapon weight. Or the weapon's HP.

[erik]

That sounds right. The reason I never noticed weapon weights is because nobody cares. It's easy for something to slip under the radar. And that goes 100000x for weapon HP. I have no idea if HP are balanced because nobody ever sunders weapons.

*turns to Jon* but I do know that one doesn't just mess with something they don't understand just because something else changed that they don't understand.

[JonSetanta]

Holy shit that's condescending, but given where we are, fits right in.
This isn't Jurassic Park.

[Koumei]

It isn't? Then what am I supposed to do with my pterasaurs?

[JonSetanta]

They eat you.
That's... Ahh.. that's Chaos Theory.

My Paladin player is actually playing a Swordsage. This ability:
"Parry Magic (Su): at level nine, the Sword Saint doesn’t gain Hero’s Heart. Instead, she may use her Ancestral Weapon to parry magic that is targeted at her. She may use an Attack of Opportunity to make an attack roll against an AC equal to the Save DC of the spell (if it doesn’t have a Save DC, figure out what the Save DC would be normally – for instance Magic Missile would have a Save DC of 11 + the caster’s casting ability bonus)."
I assume it also applies to spell like abilities?

[Koumei]

Yeah, spells and spell-likes.
