Drow Weaponry - Rapiers

Description

New Rapiers. These weapons are centered around fencing stile combat, but it's kind of "high fantasy fencing" to fit better in the world. The weapons techniques are all about offense with very little focus on defense (there's only one "defensive" action in the whole set) and sometimes sacrifice safety for damage. They are also caster friendly wich makes then good weapons for mixed martial-caster classes.

General Characteristics:

-Menzoberranzan Fencing: This is the basic weapon feature, It require to use a Drow Rapier and either a empty offhand or a drow duel weapons offhand. Drow duel weapons are Elven Daggers and Wands.

By itself the only effect is extend the damage bonus of Duelling fighting style (if you have it) when using a drow duel weapon offhand, but it's a requirement for many other passives and actions of drow rapiers.

-Specialized Tactics: To make easier use of the previous part, Drow Rapiers are Light. But if the user don't have the dual wielder feat or use a dagger or a wand offhand, melee attacks rolls will have a -10 penalty when dual wielding.

-Caster Friendly: All weapon actions and spells from Drow Rapiers that force a enemy saving thrown (included base game ones) will automatically choose the highter DC between user Maneouver Save DC and Spellcasting Save DC.

Moreover, all Drow Rapiers can be customized to gain the Melee Caster passive by using the Elven Smithing Kit.

-A couple of weapons on the mod have a coat VFX effect, this can be toggle on or off through a passive but the effect needs to be ON for the associate passive effects to work (This was made on purpose because it seens more thematic).
