Which ninja weapon should I use?
« on: May 30, 2017, 11:11:50 AM »
Hi I've created a shady ninja toon but the problem is...
I took weapon finesse thinking I would benefit from Sai nunchaku etc
These weapons arent finesse even though they are small.Any other suggestion?

The shortsword has a sort of "mini katana" appearance that you can get through crafting if that's what you're going for.  They are finessable and you can dual wield them effectively as long as you have the required feats.

Any of the CEP weapons won't be finessable though, unfortunately.

Kamas are historically a ninja weapon, and are finesseble.
Kukris aren't, but they do rock.

No it's a part of the game engine that can't be altered.

I have a little Ninja spy character as well, she is more unarmed fighting but has a shortsword i changed a bit to a more straight blade. But she carries a thing of Kunai and a few eggshell bombs.. as well as coughing gas and other tricks.

Finesse Ninja Weapons

Daggers can be made to look like sai with certain graphics in crafting.

Shortswords also have a butterfly and ninjato look as well.

Shurikens are a preffer throwing weapan that cwn be finnesse.

Whips can be made to look like kasai guirume a chain and ball weapon used by some ninja base arts.

Bok oh, a wooden sword, is also used by some ninja whicha club can easily be maxe to look like.

Guisurime is a spear or halbard I dont recall which but that can also be used.

Ninjas are versatile in many weapons often lightnand easy to carry from Ninjato, to Bak am do short swords, various shurikens, and some in japan used Dai kyo a type of short bow, possibly mispelled, I do some research but there are craftable appearances for such items.

Ninja use any weapon they can acquire and or transport/conceal easily.

Be versatile!

Short swords have a really nice Ninjato model.
