Katanas
I was just wondering if anyone has a definitive build for a katana using 3.5 rules. I am very much interested, as I am running a campaign where my players are wanting to take the story in a decidedly asian direction, especially after playing the L5R rpg. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * By "build" do you mean an optimized character build where one's optimized for the use of a katana, or the weapon "build" with its stats? If it's the latter, one usually simply uses the stats of a masterwork bastard sword.
 * That said, if you mean the latter and don't like that idea... These guys share your sentiments ;-) --Ghostwheel 12:33, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I do mean the latter, but I need a build for a katana that is a one handed weapon. I built a level 6 tenken level 4 iaijutsu master character as an example for my players, and I wanted a more appropriate weapon for her to use beyond just using a scimitar (the most similar weapon I could find to what I wanted) Shirochan2010 12:44, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just take EWP and you can use it one-handed. Out of curiousity, did you use the original Tenken or my revision? And the Iaijutsu Master from OA, the one I put up, or the other one? --Ghostwheel 13:33, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I used the original tenken and the iaijutsu master class you made. unbelievably fast, I was able to get a lvl 1 monk lvl 9 cleric down to 15 health (from about 101 hp) in just over 4 rounds. Shirochan2010 15:27, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I have started work with several other DMs in rewriting both the grimoire tenken and the iaijutsu master. not major sweeping changes, just little things like rewording certain class features and such.  Shirochan2010 16:23, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Broken Pages
Has anyone noticed that a large number of the links on this page lead to broken pages? This includes SRD:Simple_Weapons, SRD:Martial_Weapons, and the likes? I believe these pages are supposed to have lists of different simple, martial, exotic, monk, and unarmed weapons. The IRC chat just told me to post it here, hopefully these pages will be fixed soon.

 * I don't know how to fix it, but editing the blank pages reveals that the problem appears to have something to do with DPL. --Foxwarrior 03:01, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm aware that they're broke. We're transitioning away from DPLs, and migrating them to the more standard ask queries would require an update of each weapon page to populate the proper categories. I've been blowing it off though, as I didn't think anyone actually used those pages and most of the information is available on this page already. It also doesn't do much for us in this namespace though, as the resulting pages would be pretty static, but is potentially useful in generating combined lists of homebrew, SRD, and other OGL material. Since someone noticed and requested it fixed, I'm rather tempted to just drop in a fixed list of links on the pages, and deal with weapon page updates later on (if ever). - Tarkisflux Talk 03:27, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * These are not broken in the way that I thought they were, and I have filed a bug report with the appropriate parties. - Tarkisflux Talk 05:32, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
