Slashing rapier to be sold at Roaringshore?

Unread post by Hoihe »

So!

We have a rapier appearance that is very much a sidesword, not a rapier. Sideswords are basically shorter rapiers with the increased ability to do well with slashing damage.

Mechanically speaking, Rapiers having bonus damage: slashing 1 or 2 shouldn't be a major boost. AFAIK, Dervish doesn't work with bonus damages, only base damage. What would be a boost would be bludgeoning, so this is pretty much a Cover-your-rear-end for the rule of "Play your sheet."

Thus! If there's a rapier sold somewhere, named Sidesword (bonus damage slashing), sidesword +1, sidesword +2, then there is no one, even the most fanatical believer of "What you see is what you get" who can complain about a player wanting to roleplay their rapier as a sidesword.

Thanks
