You got katana'd

While you were asleep a team of Ninja blacksmiths snuck in on your camp, took your swords away, reforged them into Katanas (and similar weapons) and then returned them to you in new scabbards before slinking off into the night to fix other people's swords.

I have a new quest. Find these men and desecrate their hands, put out their eyes and see them scorned by the gods of crafting and smithing. For the crime of weebing there can be no mercy

>My current weapon is pretty much a sword-shaped metaphor that looks different to everyone that sees it
how in the goddamn

1) I specifically didn't ask for this.
2) This is assurably heresy.
3) Joke's on you, It's already a katana.

That implies they changed the very concept of how swords look inside the minds of every person that might ever see your sword.

Those are some Cthulhu tier ninjas.

Oh god not this shit again, I thought we were done with mindfuckery when I killed the elder brain

You know if you kill and elder brain you just become the new elder brain right?

Sounds like you didn't kill it hard enough.

How can you kill a god?!

My character is the only swordsman in the group, and his sword is a family heirloom katana, on account of him being a japanese man. So some ninja's just ruined a 400y/o heirloom. Time for a fucking revenge sidestory I guess.

Unaffected.

Wonder how the fuck they reforge a wood ax and a dagger into a katana. Also wonder if i have a katana shaped crossbow

Have fun , this is what you end up with

Jap originally design katana because he want to reduce population of Japan.

This is why Katana useless in modern age
Katana need two hands to operate and reduce population
Modern Jap has figured out to reduce population with one hand, by sit in bedroom and masturbate and not get girlfriend because he
ugly Jap.

Jap originally design Katana so strike fear into western heart

Now, he just make porn video, and loud squeal of ugly Jap woman give weaboo westener fear fear that his mother can hear porn play

Katana most pointless weapon in world, most pointless other than 'Penis shrinking ray' shot at Jap who dick already so small. Why you
keep brag on your fucking shit weapon? Nobody impressed.

Why you sound yapanese?

This is true.

It seems to be written in the style of that korean post about the japanese school day

Despite what neo-contrarians say, katanas are rad as fuck, so I thank them.

I only had a dagger and now I have a sword I'm not proficient with.

Guess I'll sell it.

replies like these are the reason why I hate some "people" (read: autistic retards) on Veeky Forums

The only swordsman in our party already uses katanas. Our other melee fighters use axes and maces.
In other contexts, I might not be mad. A katana made of proper European steel could be a decent replacement for a cavalry heavy sabre. They're both long, slightly curved, one sided blades that would be unwieldy but usable in a single hand. Cavalry swords are all about one handed reach and power with an emphasis on slashing, so it just might work.

I'm a Sohei/Enlightened paladin, I use no weapon or armor.

"Hey wizard, I thought you used a shortsword?"

"That's funny, so did I. Oh well, it's about the same to me."

>A katana made of proper European steel
Would be no different than a katana made of nip steel (Or imported Chink or Korean steel, like they did all the time). The problems with Japanese steel were entirely in producing the stuff, not making it work. It took an immense amount of time and raw iron sand to make steel, but once they had it, steel is steel is steel.

so is it a katana with a chainsaw blade or a chainsaw with katanas for teeth?

The latter sounds dumb but I love it.

So, nothing changes.

mmm fresh pasta

This sounds like a skaven post.

Cool, now I can slice through armored knights with a single swing.

Thanks, ninjas!

Assuming they didn't smelt them down for a proper reforging then I guess it's time for horribly slow revenge murder with dull and broken blades.

But... my weapon is already a katana

Just fit it into basket hilt, I got myself new fancy cutlass

>steel is steel is steel.
please don't try to educate anyone in metallurgy

I complain to my DM because katanas are underpowered in d20

>he says while also claiming that steel refined in a difficult process is worse because the process was difficult
You know they remove impurities, right?

>fingers, claws, horns, and teeth all become katanas

your katana's edge splinters into mini katana teeth

Mace spikes become little katanas

the runes turn into japanese kanji that spell "katana / 刀"

So, do I get a guntana?

No, your bullets' payload are now little katanas
It's essentially shooting shards shaped like katanas and the barrel is modified to better shoot your new bulletanas

kek

>reforged
Might be a bit of a problem, given that it's a daemonblade containing a VERY ANGRY bloodthirster!
Unless their number include some competent daemonologists, the party are now trying to buy new sets of melee weapons suitable for dealing with a powerful slaughter daemon that's on a rampage.

You're trying to argue with anti-katanaboos, you will never see eye-to-eye with them.

>bulletanas
I love you.

The amount of impurities is still high when compared to steel that actually started with decent materials. The entire point of the folding process is to homogenise the metal so that there is no single exploitable weak point.
The weeb stick is still a shit sword btw, the japs were using forging techniques Europeans discovered hundreds of years earlier.

In that case the Ninjas leave only a paper crane by your Katana.

>some random fucks snuck into camp and... outfitted me with better gear

O-oh no? The horror?

So by "and similar weapons," do you mean Japanese versions of weapons other than swords or what? I could rock a naginata or a tetsubo.

>They managed to reforge a baseball bat with nails in it into a katana.

I'm not even mad, that's amazing.

yes

What can they do to several dozens of tiny metal flasks containing several unstable alchemical compounds? Because i don't think this is going to work out well for anyone involved

Nah, the differential hardening results in a blade with a weak plastic-like spine that is prone to being permanently bent by shocks and an edge that while sharp is also brittle and prone to chipping or cracking from shocks. A proper piece of homogeneous tempered spring steel is both sufficiently hard to hold a lethal cutting edge and exceptionally resistant to being warped or bent by striking things it can't cut through. Unlike a differentally hardened blade, which has the worst qualities of hardened steel and mild steel, a tempered spring steel blade can flex dramatically down it's entire length and preserve both it's cutting edge and it's structure.

Reforged my Chainsword into a Katana.

Ninja bombs

I feel like katana hate and the like is the mark of the actual "nerd" in the more negative sense of the word, and the sense they make a conscious effort to deny association with. As if distancing yourself from weeb stuff redeems you somehow of being into tg. Out in the real world weeb stuff is undeniably more socially acceptable than tg and increasingly popular among normies. No one cares if you like Katanas, Chad likes katanas. People here need to chill out, the level of bitterness in the response to weeb stuff is not normal and it doesn't look good.

I can't speak for anyone else here but I like Katanas just fine, they're beautiful weapons and a lot of effort and artistry goes into making any of the ones worth owning. My only qualm is when someone claims they are superior tools for warfare when really that just isn't true.

>They're both long

They're very short for their weight, actually. A 1796 Light Cavalry sabre has the definite reach advantage. More thrust-centric cavalry swords tend to be even longer.

thanfully I'm in the middle of putting down a peasant insurrection so we haven't suffered much

it's chinese (i think) so close enough

The hell is this? Looks like it could be fun

"Ah, what's this? The gods of commerce have blessed me, it seems! No blacksmith in their right mind would forge something like this, so I could easily trick some fools into buying it for a pretty penny as some kind of 'exotic masterwork' or 'legendary relic' or some nonsense like that."

I'm pretty certain this is against the Geneva convention

FFXIV promotional material IIRC

But a heavy scimitar is too big to be reforged.

Katana flasks and the chemical compounds are made up of microscopic katanas.

>exploding throwing katanas
fuckin radical

Too late buddy

We already have nothing but katanas (and katana-like weapons), nothing changes.

Did they reformed my harrier jump jet into a katana?

If so can it still VTOL.

I miss the days of old unironic nothin personnelling. This is actually awesome, "heh" smirk and all.

>fix

user, how is replacing a gladius, a short sword made for killing in meele via thrusts along with a shield, with an oversized longsword made of shitty iron fixing it?

Huff enough Skooma and anything is possible.

jokes on them, I have a blacksmith forge it back into a non-autistic regular longsword

And so the Forge War begun...

They also stole all your fuel.

did they also steal all the trees, because if not I'm pretty sure I can make charcoal
