I ended up getting terribly distracted with life and never looked for responses to this post till now. Thanks a lot guys will use yalls information to help me find some games.

Hello there! I've been away from my normal group of players for pathfinder society and have been desperately missing it. Was hoping I could find some games to play online. I'm available any day past 5pmish est for the most part. Would really like to play my lvl 7 or 8 char but anything works for me! Hope to hear something back from you all soon!

This char list is quickly made I gotta find my stuff to confirm the right levels but nothing is off by more then 1.

Lvl 2 Fighter
Lvl 2 Druid
Lvl 8 wizard/cleric mystic thuerge
Lvl 4 Fighter

Falcatas do more DPR unless you have a critical burst weapon, but even then it's a toss up. Falcata's are the bomb, though the THF with a large one is better than TWF.

THF with a large one? what does that mean?

Ok so far great input and I think I'm going to go with the Falcata

Yeah it would be TWF with two main hand weapons giving me the extra -2, but with weapon focus and high str I think I will be alright. It seems to matter less at lvl 12+ which is when encounters truly get challenging. Might go with a light off hand till higher lvl if I find I'm not hitting enough. The only real critical feat I would be getting that might make going katana/wakizashi or katana/katana with the 15-20 crit range would bleeding critical which causes 2d6 of bleed dmg that stacks. So I could be adding 2d6 of dmg for each hit but I think the x3 dmg throughout an encounter would be more then x2 with more often critical hits getting a few more 2d6s added. I was going to go falcata main hand with a light off hand but that would cost me a exotic weapon prof feat which I can't spare even if I went with a martial weapon feat I would never be able to get weapon focus and weapon specialization and greater version for my off hand. So my off hand would still be the same as double Falcatas with weapon focus feats (I think). Another thing that makes my Falcata's really deal some extra dmg from the x3 is that I plan on getting impact on one or both(If I can spare the gp for 2nd one) making the hit dice go from d8 to 2d6, 2d6 x3 dmg is damn good. My build as is pure fighter with at lvl 14 my feats looking like this.

I think this is in order I would select but might not be.
Two Weapon Fighting
Exotic Weapon Proficiency Falcata
Weapon Foucs Falcata
Power Attack
Weapon Specialization Falcata
Improved Critical Falcata
Double Slice
Improved Two-weapon Fighting
Greater Weapon Focus Falcata
Critical Focus
Bleeding Critical
Staggering Critical
Sickening Critical
Greater Two-Weapon Fighting
Greater Weapon Specialization Falcata
Critical Mastery

I've also thought about fitting in a couple levels of Barb but that makes me get Critical Mastery and Greater Weapon Secialization later which might not be worth the ability to rage for extra dmg. Another option I was thinking of is just going Katana/Wakazashi with one level of samurai for the exotic prof feats or maybe even 3 levels for the feats and the level 3 samurai class ability which lets me quick draw my katana and +2 bonus to crit chance. But once again that hurts the high amount of feats I want/need. Love any opinions on any options to make this stronger with the same style of dealing massive critical hits with TWF and opinions on if this build would be useful in level 12+ mods. Not really worried with any difficulties pre 12 since 1-11 can be achieved with a lot of sub-par characters through good team work and wise decisions.

Working on a character concept for a two handed critical fighter trying to decided on what weapons to use. Options are

Dual Wield Falcata 1d8 19-20x3 (17-20x3 with improved critical)
or
Dual Wield Katana 1d818-20x2 (15-20x2 with improved critical)

Bassically I'm wondering what other people think about higher crit range or higher crit dmg. Would the extra dmg from x3 crits going to be worth it over getting more critical hits at x2 dmg?

Yeah that helps. Realized all the weapons it says are all monk weapons and that is what it was getting at. Guess I'll have to take a level in Samurai for the proficiency feats.

I've seen plenty of places where it has said at GM Discretion and there are quite a few other options players can take from other sources in Society play like familiar or companion options. The prestige rewards are meant for society play so I would think it saying at GM Discretion means it would include other weapons that are printed in other books that fit the style of the weapons. I agree with Falcata not being an option, but I don't even know what a Falcata is so wasn't sure where it came from. But Katana and Wakizashi are similar, and maybe it would include Falcata.

The Exact wording is:

Familiar Weapons (5 PP)
You gain Exotic Weapon
Proficiency as a bonus feat with one of the following
weapons: kama, nunchaku, sai, shuriken, siangham,
or spiked chain. At the GM’s discretion, similar exotic
weapons from other sources can be added to this list.

So I am still looking for an answer to my question so I can start up on a character concept I came up with when I saw this.

On the Lantern Lodge Familiar Weapons prestige reward it says similar exotic weapons from other sources can be selected at GM discretion.
So my question is can I use this to learn Exotic Weapon Prof Falcata, Katana, or Wakizashi in Pathfinder Society Play?
