This is the ninja's standard sword.
It is approximately the length of a short
sword, making it
easier to conceal on the body. Unlike
the katana, the blade is straight and of lower
quality. However, in keeping
with the ninja's methods, the sword and
scabbard have multiple uses. These will vary from ninja to ninja. Some
include secret compartments in the hilt
of the sword or tip of the scabbard for carrying powders, poisons, or
daggers. The scabbard is normally longer
than the sword and open at both ends, allowing it to be used as a
blowpipe or breathing tube. Strong silk
cord may be wrapped around the scabbard to be unwound for climbing.
The scabbard is usually stiff and strong,
allowing it to be used as the rung of a ladder. Other devices can be
attached or hidden within this weapon
as the DM allows.
