Common Weapons

Sench · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 10:09 am Post subject: Common Weapons

Daggers

Name: Curved Dagger
Description: A close combat only replacement for kunai. While not being suitable for throwing and not fitting inside the kunai pouch, it is sharper and has higher cutting and thrusting properties. It's advantage over a straight dagger is that it can leave torn wounds when thrust into somebody.
Rank: Genin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Jagged Dirk
Description: A very crude version of a normal curved dagger, the jagged dirk is even more dangerous. It's jagged edges will surely leave torn wounds, whether the user slashes or thrusts at his opponent. There is also a small spike on the back of its hilt which can be used to counter an arm wrench.
Rank: Genin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Kris
Description: This curved long dagger is one of the deadliest ever created. Unlike most other weapons of this kind, it has a double-edged blade. The back of it's hilt is also equipped with little spikes to counter disarm moves, and the curved shape assures maximum damage when thrust at somebody.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:

Bows

Name: Willow Bow
Description: The willow bow is a more powerful replacement for the standard short bow available to genin. The string isn't as hard, but the shaft is much more flexible, which makes it easier to shoot for people with low physical strength. However, the fire rate and accuracy are a bit lower. Just like the average genin bow, this one is a short bow, and is about 3'4'' high.
Rank: Genin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Strengthened Bow
Description: An alternative for the composite bow, this bow is made of harder woods, which undergo a special moistening process, which allows them to keep their durability and obtain high flexibility. It isn't as powerful and accurate as the composite bow, but has a higher shooting rate. This is a bot of average height, which is approximately 4'6''.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: High Bow
Description: The high bow is not called that for its length, but for its power. It's made of the finest flexible woods, and finished with a hard string. It's main secret lies in that it is not whole, but made of several pieces of wood connected by elastic metal plates. However, the craftsmanship is so fine that you wouldn't notice it unless you know it. This bow belongs to the longer bows of the medium class. It's height is about 4'10''.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Gastraphetes
Description: The Gastraphetes is the strongest serial production bow ever invented. It is made of durable wood, and complete with a hard string. Its flexibility is increased by the special moistening process, just like of the strengthened bow, but it's shape allows to pull the string harder than any other bow. Due to its shape, it also requires longer than average arrows. Having the strongly curved shape allows this bow to outpower any other in existence, while only being a convenient 5'2'' high.
Rank: Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:

Swords

Name: Gladius
Description: A short straight sword. Its blade is quite thick, and widens a bit before coming to the tip.
Rank: Genin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Falchion
Description: A rather short curved sword. Its blade is rather thick.
Rank: Genin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Dueling Sword
Description: A finely made long sword. It's pretty light, since its blade is not as thick as of most swords, but still quite powerful.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Tsurugi
Description: A sharp sword of medium length, made of the finest steel. Its shape resembles the one of gladius, but the blade is much thinner and stronger at the same time.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Faustian Blade
Description: One of the most powerful swords ever created. Its long blade is extremely sharp and durable. While being averagely thick, this sword isn't as heavy as it might seem.
Rank: Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:

Pole Arms

Name: Naginata/Double Naginata
Description: The classical Japanese polearm. Naginata is much like a spear, but it ends with a curved one-sided blade of about 15 inches in length. It's total length is 6 feet on average. Available in a variation with blades on either side, but requires a lot more skill to wield.
Rank: Chuunin/Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon: None
Name: Winged Spear
Description: The more powerful version of a normal spear. The winged spear's tip is a double-sided straight blade, and it has two small blades sticking to the sides at its base. The spear's total length is approximately 6 feet.
Rank: Chuunin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Dual Scythe
Description: A very uncommon weapon. There aren't many who use scythe-type weapons, some due to the belief that a scythe is a peasant's tool. But this special scythe was developed especially and for the sole purpose of killing things. It has two sharp inwardly curved blades to either side of the pole. Total length is about 6 feet.
Rank: Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Poleaxe
Description: The poleaxe is more popular among regular soldiers than samurai or ninja. It's basically an axe-type weapon on a pole of approximately 6 feet long. It can also come in a double-sided axe variation.
Rank: Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon:
Name: Crush Bo/Death Bo
Description: The crush bo is simply a bo with a 12 inch spiked metal club at the end, instead of being made solely of wood. While being much stronger, it also is heavier and does not have the perfect balance of the normal bo. The balance is fixed with the death bo, which has spiked clubs at both ends, but it is even heavier.
Rank: Chuunin/Jounin
Other Requirements: None
Picture of Weapon: None

I think these weapons might as well be considered non-custom. I just looked at the weapon scroll and was terrified by the lack of variety there, especially of jounin-level weapons.

For the Dual Scythe, I say make it at least a Jounin.

Nope. It's perfectly fine the way it is. No reason why it should be jounin

It's considered as a double weapon, so that's why I said that.

Well, not really. It's not like double naginata, which has blades on both ends of the pole. It just has them both ways. It shouldn't really be that harder to wield than the normal scythe, it's justy an alternative and upgraded design.

You do realize a large amount of the pictures are inacurate? Also, some of the descriptions are completely off or we already have something like that. I'll give a few examples:

There is no such thing as a dueling sword, no such thing as a faustian sword, the winged spear has actual names and varies from place to place, no such thing as a crush bo, and while I'm not an expert on bows, I'm sure most of those aren't real bows. Now, this is all problems only if you intend them to be non custom weapons. The simple fact that they are custom makes this impossible.

Now, to my last point, which is the most important. Many of these are off balanced with their ranking. For example, the gladius should be of a higher rank. I doubt many genin could weild such an unruly weapon. Most of those bows should be pushed up a rank, and so should the medium sized swords. Probably the spear, too.

I might have agreed with you if it wasn't for our non-custom weapons scroll. The names? So what. And I don't know what kind of a weapon expert you are, but here's the thing: except for the dueling sword and faustian blade, these weapons did (do?) exist. I may have not been able to find out the real names, but the ones used are fine.

Then, you do realize that a picture for a common weapon is AN EXAMPLE, right? The weapon does not have to look exactly like the picture, but it will be close. If winged spears have actual names and vary, so what? This is an average description. I realize there's no thing as a crush bo (at least that's not a real weapon name), but why wouldn't there be? surely enough the common bo is too weak to stand on par with swords.

And I might (but probably not) have agreed with you about the rankings, if it wasn't for the non-custom weapons list. If genin can use wakizashi, they can use gladius, which is, believe me, easier to wield efficiently. And you're just being ridiculous when you say that most of these weapons need to be pushed up a rank. Tell me, did the soldiers of the Phalanx have the superior physical condition and superhuman abilities of a jounin? Surely not. They would hardly be equal to genin, and the same goes with bow/sword users. So I am actually over-ranking these weapons.

If you don't want to, you may not use them as non-custom weapons, but note how none of these have any special ability. I made it as an extension to the existing non-custom weapons, and I think they're okay for that. Just, I don't know, sticky them somewhere, or whatever, but these were intended for people to use.

EDIT: and Air you are wrong. The only useless bow is the high bow. But it's obviously not a real weapon picture.

Alright, first of all the non-custom weapons are the basic ones found in the narutoverse. Most of these, obviously, are never seen in either manga or anime.

Most of these are unnecessary, and others should have other requirements. The double-scythe should either be Jounin-rank or require superior strength. And the Phalanx regiments DID possess superior stength. I don't think anyone woudl argue if you said you had a simple sword and it wasn't in the weapons list.
