1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.
The katana is a sharp and slightly curved sword and can be deadly in the right hands. A katana is basically a longer, slightly heavier longsword with a single edge, as such a character with a full base attack bonus and proficiency with a longsword can spend 2 skill points to gain proficiency in the katana. Those without a full base attack bonus can pay 4 skill points to gain proficiency if they have proficiency in the longsword.
