The Katana is a sharp two-handed Dexterity-based melee weapon.
It is one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game, with the 9 base damage output. However, it is a very slow weapon.
Acquisition[]
- Select 'enter the destroyed temple' in the Bleeding Desert, and succeed the Perception check.
Trivia[]
- Inspecting the Katana reveals that it has been folded over a million times. This is a reference to a snowclone post on the website 4chan's /tg/ board which claimed katanas should be the most powerful weapon in tabletop roleplaying games because of the craftsmanship of Japanese swordsmiths, who would supposedly fold their steel a million times. In truth, no swordsmith would ever fold steel even close to this many times lest the furnace turn their expensive steel into less durable wrought iron, but this particular katana being an artifact of an Otherworldly civilization might allow it to have been made in such a manner that folding steel over a million times was both possible and beneficial.
