Scimitar +2 is optionally treated the same as a magic sword -- especially
if your campaign is Asian <sic: Arabic> in flavor or the activity AREA borders near such a nation.
The possibilities are then rolled as follows:
 
 

01 -45	scimitar + 1 ()
46-65	scimitar +2 ()
66-80	scimitar +3 ()
81 -90	scimitar +4
91 -95	scimitar + 5
96-98	scimitar of wounding
99-00	scimitar of sharpness

<Then roll for unusual characteristics as usual.>
