Skill: Shows off the blacksmiths massive horse cock. In a time before modern machinery some crazy Germans and Swiss hammered beyond natural human limit. They probably did it as a meme then realised it was actually useful as a weapon. Sharpening a wavy blade would have been a nightmare.
Functional: Good for duelling sword vs sword. A traditional sword allows you to slide off an enemies blade if your swords clash, because the blade is straight. The waves in a flamberg blade creates vibrations which hurts the opponents hands, that doesn’t sound like much but it gives you an advantage. Very useful for parrying since the enemies sword will strike, then the blade gets stuck on your wavy blade or they pull away from the impact shock. Either way you will have an opening to attack. Also the waves cut much deeper similar to a serrated knife. If you got cut once by this blade, you would not be able to stitch your wound shut, you are pretty much sliced bread.
Aesthetic: Someone challenges you to a duel, while they unsheathe their boring longsword, you unwrap your wiggly sword. They immediately apologize and run because you are rich enough to afford a wiggly sword and probably have multiple wenches giving you ankle parchments.
Item:Flamberge; in addition to the old 3.5 stats at the link, while not everyone recognizes the dangers of fighting someone with a wiggleblade, +4 on Intimidation checks against Fighters and others with knowledge of weapons.
got the worlds coolest knife at a flea market today
op what quest did you complete?
going with my dad n uncle on their hunts for funko pops
Item: Plump Dagger of Scräggbert, a small but unusually thick and wide dagger that delivers fearful Piercing wounds, and can be used to summon a burst of pink lightning that grants +d6 on Intimidation checks. Such daggers could only be obtained when given out by the royal court as a reward for knights of the blood successfully escorting noblemen on their quest for strange mouthless figurines and idols for their ever-growing collection, dispensed in memory of the elderly Dwarf berserker that used to be the king’s bodyguard on his quests, and possessing a Plump Dagger when not a member of the Order of Scräggbert is a capital crime.
Item: Rambo’s favorite Black Flak raspberry bubble gum, allowing a character to blow up to five black bubbles that, upon completion, act as Magic Missiles, firing towards the nearest Flying enemy.
Item: names abound, but my favorite is the “Slap Hammer”: when used as a club it deals the usual 1d8 Bludgeon for the hammer itself, but also leaves the target with a half-inch industrial staple stuck in it, dealing 1 Piercing each round a staple is left in the skin.
Item: Space Water Shooter, fires Space Water up to ten feet. The splash it creates acts as a vacuum, powerfully drawing everything towards the space puddle for three rounds before drying up.
Item: Peppa’s Puddle Plopper: sprays pools of muddy water that all creatures must roll a will save against jumping up and down in. Those that fail the save are compelled to hop around in the puddle laughing gleefully until the puddle has either dried or dissipated from being splashed all over the place.
