This mod is a revision of the Real Katana 1.2 plugin by karstux (which adds better models and beautiful new textures to the wakizashi, katana, and dai-katana/no-dachi).

------

Changes from the original:

- Removed the ninja outfit that karstux placed in the quest/dialogue to join the Morag Tong (because J-ninja by Joel Braddock, Ninja Outfits by Ronin, and/or Morag Tong Armor Replacer by lochnarus are better options for ninja outfits).

- Removed Tribunal dependency: A Tribunal script function is used in the original plugin to add parrying wakizashis to three leveled lists. One list has been omitted because it resulted in the Steel Parrying Wakizashi being too common in Vvardenfell (not appropriate). The other two lists have been added to the esp file. This can create a need for merged leveled lists, but little is lost if another mod overwrites these lists because the items have been added to two merchants (see below).

- Added Daedric blades to Galbedir (Balmora Mages Guild) and steel blades to Wayn (Balmora Fighters Guild). Neither restocks as these items should be at least somewhat rare in Vvardenfell.

- Created alternate esp files to allow for a choice between two-handed katanas with increased damage stats (as in the original plugin; more accurate/realistic) or one-handed katanas with normal/default damage stats (perhaps more desirable because Morrowind does not allow blocking with a two-handed weapon).

- Rebalanced parrying wakizashi stats to be more sensible and to be an attractive but different alternative to shields.

------

Credit for the models, textures, and initial two-handed katana stats goes to karstux (obviously).

From the original readme by karstux:

"This mod replaces the ugly original models for wakizashis, katana and "dai-katana" with aesthetically much more pleasing ones. Also, two new "weapons" for dual wielding, "parrying wakizashis", are introduced."

"The katana were changed from one-handed to two-handed use, for sake of aesthetics and realism. To compensate, the damage was slightly raised."

"The "dai-katana" now bears the more correct name of no-dachi."

------

Installation is standard: Unzip the contents of the 7z archive to the Data Files folder (found within the main Morrowind folder), and activate the mod from the Morrowind launcher menu by clicking on the Data Files option and selecting the either the one-handed or two-handed version of the mod.
