Lawful Evil. Sasaki KojirÅ fans rejoice: the elven curve blade is Kingmaker’s equivalent of a nodachi. Powerful versions are readily acquirable throughout the adventure, especially bane of the living if you can defeat the associated astradaemon. As a two-handed weapon an elven curve blade benefits from the 50% bonus damage of Power Attack, providing extra damage oomph. If you’re not dabbling with Pathfinder’s multiclass madness, a straightforward rogue can utilize the weapon to create an effective melee build.
