What would be the weapon mastery property of the Eberron Double-bladed scimitar? I'm looking to update my campaign to the 2024 rules, but one of my players have a double-bladed scimitar that they are quite fond of, and has built around. What should I do in this regard?
I made the same post in the unearthed arcana section, as I love the fantasy of this weapon. I think you should just keep the weapon as is and decide on either topple(it's similar to a quarterstaff) ex or nick (treating it as a light weapon so you can do the BA as part of the action). Non of the other masteries make much sense on how you can use it.
Yeah, "nick" makes the most sense when patterned after the "regular" scimitar. You already lose the dual masteries from dual wielding, so this makes the most sense.
Nick would be useless as the Double Bladed Scimitar is not a light weapon. There is no bonus action unless something grants you a bonus action. Thus, there is no way to trigger Nick, because you need to attack with a light weapon and then use another light weapon to make the second attack which the Double bladed Scimitar does not follow.

Hi all,
What would be the weapon mastery property of the Eberron Double-bladed scimitar? I'm looking to update my campaign to the 2024 rules, but one of my players have a double-bladed scimitar that they are quite fond of, and has built around. What should I do in this regard?
Kind regards.

Graze or Cleave would be the most appropriate.
