There is no need to include rules for single handed/2-weapon style, as there is only a single historical example of that. So there's a very good chance that only one Japanese person in history ever wielded katana single handed, or used 2-weapon style. So using Musashi as an example of 'hey, the Japanese also wielded the katana single handed' is a poor example, since he didn't learn this in school and never taught it to any students - it was his own thing. Only his book published after his death gave any kind of meaning and history to Musashi. Musashi, however, was always a ronin, and not considered highly by his peers because of that. Musashi, author of the Legend of the Five Rings, wielded katana one-handed, and wielded 2-handed style with katana and wakizashi, but he was pretty much alone in these techniques, something he developed on his own. I will publish it as 'curved blade', so I am not overly concerned. So what Paizo wants to base katana on, means little to me. In Kaidan, the katana is equivalent to "elven curved blade" in stats, not to "bastard sword". The point, yes Japanese men are generally short so I have to agree that the majority were 2-handed katana wielders. I could see for blocks ahead even though thousands of people were in front of me. I am only 5' 5" tall (short I know), but when I was in Japan, in Tokyo, I remember walking down a street with heavy pedestrian traffic, and most people came to my chin in height. I have a Japanese cousin and uncle (father-son) who are over 6 foot tall, but they are exceptions. I just dont care to visualize it, there is just something wrong. Personally Id rather lose shield and get an extra skill point, anything.īut Ill say this, our current Ronin would have alot less AC without his +3 heavy shield.
I don't like the shield for the samurai but this is fantasy, and im sure the dev's left it there because there was no real reason to take it out.

If you watch the movie highlander (hardly authentic but you get the gist) It seems to flow between two handed and one handed rather well. 14th-19th century japanese weren't necessarily large men, so the two handed style was probably most prefered. Seems like you could swing it either way.īut like Ive said soemwhere else. I think the closest ive ever gotten to wielding a katana was holding one in a store that sold replicas. Otherwise I think they would have said "just use the elven curved blade" if it was going to be two handed only.
My reasoning behind this sort of build wwa so I could use the gauntlet/spells and melee effectively but it is only really hindering me and making me not enjoy the game as much as I know I could.Īlso what do you mean by cleric skills I thought that the magic was the only skills you got is there some other skills that come with him, I chose the magic that has mimic and stab.Įdit: I think I'm going to try a warrior run at least until the second boss and see of I enjoy it anymore.The current katana in the play test is the bastard sword, so i am assuming the actual stats for katana will represent a hand and a half feature (like dwarven war axe as well) As much ad I love cleric builds if the spells are not really worth it I might just go strength.

If a full strength build is more viable I might just re roll. I have 3 unlocked and to be honest they are lack luster and have only gotten me into trouble. I'm just curious if a strength only build is viable like will I mmiss out not using spells. Should I build strength at all? I got 13 strength and seem to be doing a little better than before hand. I am still stuck on the second boss got him to one hit but messed up and died.
