So im trying to make a homebrew weapon that is a d8 slashing dmg with the finesse property. every time i try to make the weapon i have to use the base games weapons as a starting point and cant modify the dmg type or die. i could either make a scimitar or a rapier but i want the d8 for dmg, and slashing for dmg type. plz help
You cannot alter a base weapon’s damage die, it’s just impossible. You will have to start with a Rapier and change the damage type to slashing using the following Modifier:
Modifier: Replace Damage Type->Subtype: Slashing
After you save the modifier you then MUST re-save the weapon using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information.
