[Aquinas]

We have decided to make some adjustments to fencing blades.

There are three main changes happening mostly to the high end of the range.

• Weight has been downed

• Damage has been upped

• Damage type has been changed from piercing to slashing

As a result, the high end of fencing blades will no longer synergize with the attack skill. The damage increase is intended to make up for this change. The OB and PB have stayed the same. One other thing in the changes: the opal adorned tulwar is now 1h instead of being 1.5h.

Additionally, for flavor, the swords that would generally be used in a stabbing/thrusting/piercing manner have had their names reworked to a slashing type of sword. Instead of foils and rapiers, they are now going to be tulwars and sabres.

The low end fencing blades, the basic eq, i.e. will continue to pierce where it makes sense - rapiers, estocs, and foils. All weights have been adjusted downward and the damage was considered and in general slightly downed to avoid becoming too competitive with the attack skill.

We will monitor the effects of the changes and make adjustments if necessary. Please contact me if you would like a free reset related to this change.

Here are the changes, including the name changes:
