📋 About This Mod
Important NOTE: The only file that has the Red Dragon katana are the ones that have Red Dragon katana in the file name. I do not have time to go through each and every file and add the new sword to everyone of them.
Small update 30Aug2024: Add an option file that will change the Phalar Aluve into the Amakuni. Only in visual looks. Everything else is the same about the weapon.
Update 8-Oct-2023
Added a new katana called the Red Dragon
only the red dragon version has been added to the tutorial chest.
This mod adds 5 pairs of katanas to your game. The first pair is a light finesses katana that does 1d6 damage. The second one is a 1d8 finesse, versatile pair. The versatile damage is 1d10. The third one is a 1d8 finesse, versatile, plus 1 with 1d4 force damage pair. The fourth one is a legendary katana by the name of Amakuni. It is a 1d8 finesse, versatile, 1d8 force damaging, crit 19-20, ignores slashing distance, does 2 bleed damage 20% of the time, and is a plus 3 weapon. The new fifth one is the red dragon katana. It is the same as the Amakuni but does fire damage and the user is immune to fire damage.
You can also buy them from Arron in Druid's Grove and or in the Sorcerous Sundries shop that can be found in the Lower City in act 3 (Can someone with access to this area let me know if this works? I have no way of checking as I am still in the starting area). (EDIT) I removed them from the tutorial chest as people said it was breaking it. The legendary ones are very expensive as I tried to make them cost what you would pay (ish) if you did buy them from a vendor (31k each). This should make it so that almost everyone can pick them up.
The 1d6 light katana, normal 1d8 katana, and the +1 katana all use a custom mesh that I modeled. They do however use the game's default texture for the game's katana. The Amakuni uses custom textures by me. I did this so that way I had something to work up to and look forward to.
I just started this game and I just made it to the Druid's groove. I wanted to get this mod finished before I started my first playthrough so I do not know a lot about the game and where best to put my swords. There is still a lot I do not know about modding this game and this mod would not have been possible without Curotar. I used his mod as a template to get my weapon into the game. So a big thank you to him. I am open to suggestions though I will not likely be able to get to them for a long time as I made this mod to enjoy my playthrough of the game and just thought I would b
