    Can a sword cut too well? Well, kind of... This one has such crazy cutting power that it can be too forgiving in practice. Even if the edge alignment is off it zips right through the target with minimal resistance. The extremely wide and fairly thin blade slices through tatami mats like a hot knife through butter.
    Easily the best cutting sword I've tried so far. Yes, even more powerful than the Albion Knecht (kriegsmesser).

      Their are suspended for bringing the blade to the battle field. I can just imagine that conversation.
      Knight: "Hey guys, sorry I'm late" *unsheathes sword*
      General: "WOAH, WTF is that"
      Knight: "it's me sword, it's a war general."
      General: "WHY are you using that sword, your going to get us band from the battlefield causing us to postpone the war"
      Knight: "but it's just a sword sir"
      General: "FOOL, that is no sword, THAT'S A GODDAMN MEAT GRINDER"
      Knight: "But Sir"
      General: "No buts, leave and if you come back actually bring something that isn't that"
      Or at least something like that.

    Sword of Sharpness
    Weapon (any sword that deals slashing damage), very rare (requires attunement)
    When you Attack an object with this magic sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target.
    When you Attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on the Attack roll, that target takes an extra 4d6 slashing damage. Then roll another d20. If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target’s limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead.
    In addition, you can speak the sword’s Command word to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the Command Word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light.

      Well, you know... for us from the "late bloomer" ADHD crowd (i.e. people who weren't diagnosed before having reached adulthood), being distracted by a squirrel is kind of our Achiles heel.
      When I got me ADHD diagnosis (also well past expiration date, i.e. at the age of 32), I was a patient at a clinic with a team specialized in the treatment of adult ADHD.
      That clinic is in northern Germany next to a beautiful oak forest (hard to come by these days in Europe) with a _huge_ squirrel population, and the little buggers managed to disrupt every and any of our group activities by just showing up. Just imagine a bunch of Hypies who in unison completely forget what they were up to, because they all enter "Awww, look at that _cwute_ little bugger!" mode simultaneously upon seeing one of the little rascals.
      So, if there should ever be an evil overlord with ADHD, you can bet you arse that one single cute little squirrel will be his nemesis :-)

    • @lalli8152
      @lalli8152 Год назад +3

      Yeah its extremely acute bevels for insane cutting ability. Everything has draw backs though, and that acute bevel is also simply more fragile since its so incredibly thin behind the edge. Same is true with knives you can make incredible slicer just pure performance, but then that knife will not be as good for harder tasks like chopping in to wood or to carve seasoned hard wood since the edge chips, and gets damaged easier. In later video Skall notices that too about this sword since it gets quite nasty chunk broken off from the edge. Lot of the other swords he has used from albion likely wouldnt have no problem in that wood chopping test

    That continuous angled tapper maximizes a angled cutting edge as a drawing action of edge across target cuts cleanly while a flat edge blade only functions if the entire blade is moving to emulate a “drawing” action.

  • @MrMrbrianbechtel
    @MrMrbrianbechtel 4 года назад +6

    The reason it cuts so well is that it can be thin and very sharp while still strong due to the front to back width of the blade. Its doesn't have a thickness that causes drag in the material. Look up competition cutter katana for the same idea
