Scimitars are long, curved, single edged blades which can be used by druids, bards, thieves and warriors. They have a weight of 4 lbs, a speed factor of 5 and they can inflict 1-8 points of slashing damage. This item appears in Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate II. It is sold at many stores which sell weapons, with an exception for Baldur's Gate. In Baldur's Gate, this weapon falls in the large sword proficiency, while in the other games, it's in the scimitar & wakazashi's & ninjato's proficiency.
In Baldur's Gate, this weapon is not in the original game, but this was added by the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion pack. Scimitars are only for sale at Candlekeep Inn and Ulgoth's Beard Inn. In Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Erdane at Durlag's Tower also sells them.

Description[]
| “ | The long, curved, single-edged blade is characteristic of both the saber and the scimitar, even though their origins lie in different parts of Faerûn. Whereas the saber was intended chiefly for horsemen, mainly due to its versatility, the scimitar has a heavier oriental influence. The "shamshir," as it was originally called, is larger, more highly curved, and tapered to an elongated, sharp point. This makes the weapon slightly slower but more effective and deadly in combat. | ” |
