Sasaki KojirÅ fans rejoice: the elven curve blade is Kingmaker’s equivalent of the nodachi. Powerful versions are readibly 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.
