2d4 Slashing, Finesse
Cost: 250GP
A not so commonly encountered curved sword. The curve is slightly shallower than that of the longer katana, but it is still of the same relative construction. Due to the meticulous level of craftsmanship and scarcity of suppliers, these blades tend to come at a high cost. The quality of the blade is clearly displayed by its ability to damage and its price
It is carefully balanced and so it can be considered a monk weapon, since it is closer to a short sword than anything else. This weapon works like any proficiency with a short sword.
Proficiency with a Shortsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
This weapon has the following mastery property. To use this property, you must have a feature that lets you use it.
Vex. If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
Notes: Damage: Slashing, Finesse, Light, Vex

Posted Nov 4, 2019The goal of making this weapon was to allow for a balanced finesse weapon with slashing and medium damage. Monks, rogues, certain fighters, and rangers only have a few finesse options with the rapier being the only equivalent to a longsword. Exchange versatility with finesse, as well as the higher cost and commonality for the 2d4 vs 1d8, and everything seems a lot more equal.
I cannot take off Light as a weapon features without changing the base weapon so, as a note to DMs... Light is optional. Keep it as is, take it off, or bump up the price accordingly.
