I have the idea of playing a character who uses a Jian stylized weapon. However I'm at a crossroads as how to do this. I thought about just using the same stats as a current weapon but I don't know which one. Its used for both slash and piercing so I think the rapier's out. I thought about longsword but I see the jian capable of being finessed.
Maybe the dueling sword from armory book? I also thought about making its own stats of an exotic weapon, 1d6, weapon finesse, slashing and piercing but I don't know.
Anyone seen one statted up elsewhere before? Any help would be great.
Funny you should post this question. I am finishing up a Swordsage to replace my dead Paladin in a 3.0/3.5 game, and he is using the jian. Statistics and a description can be found in the "Ultimate Equiment Guide Volume 2. but here is the short of it:
It stats up exactly like the Aldori Dueling sword except it is slashing and piercing. So make it 1d8 dmg.
With Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Jian) you can use it as a finesse weapon.
Without EWP, it is treated as a short sword but it cannot be finessed.
Opponents have a -2 on Sunder.
The book says that it is always masterwork
