Fencing Blades

Are bad. Recommend reverting them back to original form. Make paramerion 7d3 instead of 6d4. Sharp, long pointy stick is lower damage than short, small pointy twig. Not good.

no, no, no, no, no!
The feathered dogsword needs to be changed to a slash or slice, and be basically an upgraded Tulwar with sexy OB/PB and 15.0 lb combo bashing sword with relatively lacking damage.

Meanwhile, the emme foil and ruby rapier need to be upped in damage to be the piercing feather weight damage dealers. 7d3 at 1.5 lbs and the other with some less ob/pb 4.5 lbs and 3d8 for some spikey but higher damage so they will feel notably different but about on par with each other.

The point is, a player should be rewarded for investing into weapon and attack (Fblade), AND weapon swapping (tulwar/dogward for bash) effort vice being on par or worse than using an Lblade set up from a combat damage output perspective.

Also, the heron marked foil should be renamed to a heron marked epee

and all med blades need a rework so that they aren't Long blades but worse ob, worse bash, notably worse damage and on par or worse pb across the board, except for MC fire sword and RQ channy swords that are in a fine enough place... but I digress.

Make it high damage (higher than scalded) low OB.

I think we should go a completely wierder route. I say make it lower pb, but actually give db for wielding one.. and make the ob incredibly high, damage stays the same. It's a fencing blade. Have you ever seen fencers in the olympics. it's very technical, very "dodgey" and they don't have shields haha.

Many historic examples of incredible and amazing fencers who just got utterly destroyed in a real fight. (there are also examples of fencers who were amazing fighters).

Make fencers freaking incredible vs 1 or two opponents, and DED vs more :)

Also this was facetious, and I would be happy if their damage was upped
