Custom naginatas are weapons made to order by Wan Bending Reed in the Samurai dojo in Bes Pelargic for 400Rh.

Long Description

Half of this weapon's six-foot length is a gracefully curved blade with a pattern of <pattern> worked into the steel and an edge like the north wind. The <wood> shaft is sturdy and smooth, its oval cross-section designed to sit comfortably in the hand without slipping. A solid steel cap protects the butt, and can serve as an additional striking surface at need.

All custom-made weapons from Wan Bending Reed have the message, "It is by the command of <player> that I was made."

Acquisition

May be ordered from Wan Bending Reed in the Samurai dojo, in northeastern Bes Pelargic.

The player must have at least a 300 bonus in the appropriate weapon skill, as well as a 200 unstatted bonus in people.culture.agatean, before Wan Bending Reed will consider him or her worthy to wield one of his weapons.

Weapons from Wan Bending Reed will perform better in the hands of the player they were made for.

Judge variations

It seems like all custom naginata *sometimes* come up a different judge, even though they mostly stick with the standard judge above.

• Maximum damage: 8 Quite high
• Average damage: 3 Rather Low

A guess as to what's happening here is that there is some slight variation in judge and that it only shows up on the custom naginata as it is just on the cusp of judge values.
