What say you?


I like it, I've always wanted to throw in different types of daggers without it just being fluff.
Any chance for the Cinqueda dagger to appear?


For the Cinquedea I would probably just use the stats for a short sword.

But since we're playing around with things here, let's try to make a unique cinquedea.

Cinquedea - Light Simple Weapon
Cost: 6 gp
Dmg (S): 1d4
Dmg (M): 1d6
Critical: x2
Weight: 1 lb.
Type: P

or

Cinquedea - One-Handed Simple Weapon
Cost: 6 gp
Dmg (S): 1d4
Dmg (M): 1d6
Critical: x2
Weight: 1 lb.
Type: P or S

For balance reasons, I would say it can either be a light piercing weapon or a one-handed piercing-or-slashing weapon. Making it a light (and therefore finessable) simple weapon that does piercing and slashing might make it a bit too powerful, but on the other hand making it a martial weapon would make it too weak. Any thoughts?
