Manlets! They never learn!
>>47683348
How is that a curse? It seems like it's the perfect sword for a lazy/cheap PC who doesn't want to roleplay sharpening it during downtime.
>>47683415
It's a curse because you don't know the curse, and so you keep sharpening the blades oblivious to the fact that your sharpening actually dulls them, and then you throw them away in disgust.
>>47683348
What the point of having rear quillon like this? I highly doubt you can catch opponent's blade with that.
>>47683378
So every thread on /tg/ is cursed?
>>47683449
You can, and that's what it's for.
That said, butterfly blades like this are purely martial arts weapons and I don't think they ever saw much actual military use.
>>47683415
That's what I was thinking. Aside from the fact it has no downsides if they don't have some sort of "maximum sharpness" shit would get crazy. I'm pretty sure this is what destroyed the Redguard homeland in the elder scrolls series
>The harder you scrub, the dirtier you get.

Naw, that was tonal magic. Fucking curved swords can cut through atoms.
>>47683348
I'd like to make a club out of these swords.
Also, these swords are usually wielded by their blades, as holding them properly by the handle actually cuts you with their "blunt sharpness".

To keep your wrist from being sliced off.

The quillions act as a grip when the sword is inverted and held almost like a tonfa. Baat cham dao are are meant to be used with a very specific set of wing chung forms, that is a sort of hybrid of unarmed fighting and fencing

The quillions can be used to trap an opponents blade if the try to parry. One of the basic moves for butterfly swords is to perform a simple thrust with the flat of the blade held level so that the quillon faces the direction of opponents blade. If they attempt to parry your sword away with their own it creates a window of opportunity to catch their blade and twist yours vertically to trap theirs horizontally between the blade and quillon of the butterfly sword.
Basically you provoke your opponent into trying to defend a thrust when really you're trying to get his sword into a position where you can trap it.

someone post the oglaf strip
>>47683911
That's a pretty cool effect to be honest.
>>47684511
But why would it be useful?
>>47684597
just close your eyes when you unsheathe you blade. Anyone looking at you when you do so will be dazzled and you will have just blinked
>>47683483
Either it split the atom or just sliced through the ground all the way to the bedrock. I believe they left it unclear.

I suppose being trapped in it forever just means you're really slow at removing it.

oh man imagine if there were tales of a legendary polearm that people in the area just would not shut up about, and by the time someone gets it it's about as effective as a wet cardboard tube from all the bragging the people did about the original owner.

You have no blade on a club, and therefore no dull blade.
You just made a great item into a normal club.

This one is amazing though. Nobody will ever waylay you for a being a brigand as you've merely got a pointed walking staff when it's also an incredibly potent weapon
>>47692191
Wrong, the blades/edges are like circumferential lines on a sphere.
You'd have infinite number of edges on a club, they'd all just be infinitely thin and rendered infinitely dull since there's no distance between them and the edge next to it.
If your DM is a sane man and doesn't allow this genius idea incarnate, then you just reforge it into a Flanged Mace, where each of the small flanges would be a blade, crushing and slicing your enemies at the same time!Buy now while supplies last!
>>47683911
My game has a recurring blade the DM loves, Noxbrand. Thick fog billows out from the blade if unsheathed, weaving the blade through it all controls the direction.
So a thief could unsheath it in a hallway, direct the fog at the guards, and slip by unseen.
>>47683483
>Naw, that was tonal magic. Fucking curved swords can cut through atoms.
First of all, Shehai Shen She Ru is not the same thing as the Pankratosword. Second of all, the word "atomos" is used literally, as in "that which is unbreakable". They're talking about the Earth Bones, not actual atoms.
>>47685208
No, but it does mean that if you have a sharp enough knife, you can cut the laws of physics.

>>47683469
There's a softcap to its sharpness, in that once it can cut through sufficiently dense material with no resistance it'd never get any blunter. You'd never accidentally split the atom or anything, but if you dropped them they would cut right through anything they hit. And you'd never be able to sheathe them; you'd have to magnetize them to make them stay in place.

What if your parents are dead?
>>47699588
Or you just have so many edges, but they all touch at once, causing the same effect as a normal mace.

Then you can never reset the timer.
Also, it tells you in seconds, spoken by the voice of Tay Zonday.
