Scimitars are a weapon type that can be equipped as a character's melee weapon for the weapon proficiency large sword in the original Baldur's Gate and scimitar / wakizashi / ninjatō in the Enhanced Edition and both versions of Baldur's Gate II.
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. | ” |
