Blade Master Sword Rebalance:  New to Blood and Iron Overhauls is the Blade Master sword rebalance.  Its purpose is to implement a standardized, consistent, and coherent system for determining the statistics and functionality of the game’s swords.  It determines a sword’s stats based on three criteria:



Type:  Longsword, short sword, hunting sword, saber, etc.

Quality of craftsmanship:  Poor, Average, Good, Fine, Excellent, Exquisite, and Masterful.

Material:  Iron, Steel, or Damascus Steel.



*Base damage is set by weapon type, modified by quality.

*Damage modifiers for attack type are based on weapon type, modified by quality.

*Item health is based on material, modified by quality.

*Defensive value and stat requirements are based on weapon type.

*Swords (excluding unique ones) have been renamed based on these factors: 
Average Iron Sword, Fine Steel Longsword, Excellent Damascus Saber, etc.

*Charisma bonus is based on type, quality, and material.

*Swords, as high status symbols, are more expensive than in the vanilla game.
