I can change my heavy armor to look like light armor, but I can’t change my long sword (strength) to look like a long sword (agility). Specifically I want my Predatory Blade to look like a Zingarian Mercenary Rapier. Both are long swords that use the same attack movements. I really think that ought to be allowable.
The Predatory Blade is a longsword (strength) and the Zingaran Mercenary Rapier is a short sword (agility). Therefore, one cannot be used as an illusion for the other because short swords are not longswords. Only weapons of the same type can be used as illusions.
A rapier shouldn’t be a short sword. They have long, thin blades. I guess I assumed they were long swords because of common sense. But you’re right. I just tried it out in game and those use short sword movements. But they really should not be short swords.
They were probably made short swords, not because of their length, but because the short sword combo focuses more on quick, thrusting attacks, which fits a rapier better.
