kukri vs double-sided?

Post by tidal » Sun Jan 06, 2019 11:57 am

Hi all, a quick question on weapon choice, if you will?

Say, you have a str-based dual-wielder (not a WM) that gets around 43 AB with kukri or 46 with a 2-sided, consequently.
You can also afford to max out taunt, and get access to those orcblood +4 weaps (hence the 46).
Style and looks aside, what would you choose? I got no idea on current AB expectations, or how widespread /4 resistance is...

Cheers!

Kukri if your AC is decent ( Shield gives you +6, if that makes a difference go for it ), double-sword if your AC is so bad putting out a shield won't make a difference.

Thanks!

I'm just realizing that orcish double-edge doesn't need anything additional to de made keen (is that what runic means?), so threat ranges will be the same, and the difference is only in more AB and resistance penetration on a double-edge vs ability to switch between DW and shield on a kukri...
