Been kicking around the names for the three most powerful weapons. Actually, they've bothered me from the start. You have swords and a javelin, then you get down to the supreme weapon that costs 30,000. It's a triple-something, and the one before it is a double something. The third to most powerful (and expensive) weapon is simply - a club, followed by what are basically double and triple short staffs or clubs tied or chained together. A little research confirmed the translations and produced pictures.
As Recca feels, I was underwhelmed from the beginning and even less impressed when research confirmed wooden staff or club weapons as accurate. However, in lieu of fudging them up to blade weapons permanently, I found a more legitimate way to sex-them-up somewhat.
The third to most powerful weapon is now a flail. A flail is like a staff or club, sometimes a pole with something attached to it that you use to pivot-whack on an enemy. That whacker section may be partially metallic with sharp edges, even spiked.
The second to most powerful weapon, the 2X or bi-club is none other than a nunchaku, fairly familiar to RPG players. These may be designed with metal tips and possibly even spiked at the tips.
Finally, the translation of a triple-club or staff may be abbreviated to "triplet", so I'm using that somewhat ambiguous name because it sounds potentially more imposing than 3X-staff, or whatever translation I used initially.
Finally, a picture of the Triplet weapon from the La Wares manual sort of seals the deal. No way can this be a blade.
