What could I conceivably do to one scimitar as a player? 5e was so barren on the subject I don't have many ideas on how to implement it into my upcoming campaign.
What do you mean "do to a scimitar"? Do you mean "how could I use a scimitar"? In combat or outside of combat? Or do you mean "How could I modify a scimitar to make it better"? Probably with magic or special materials. Or do you mean "how can I break somebody else's scimitar"? As in sundering it, or removing its magic, or making it otherwise ineffective?Quote:

Ah, my bad. I meant how could I improve a scimitar?
First, there are various different materials you can make a scimitar out of (see here)Quote:

The character wielding a scimitar can take various feats to improve how they use a scimitar, like Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical and so forth. A few weapon styles require the use of a weapon like a scimitar to work too.
There are also spells that can be cast to improve how the weapon works.
And I've probably missed a few things in that list.
Play a Magus. Because they can use their weapon's crit range with spell attacks, and scimitar has a very good crit range.Quote:
