SCIMITARS: Neverwinter Nights NWN Best Scimitar



The best scimitars in Neverwinter Nights are Angelfyre, Desert Wind and Scimitar of Speed. It is the critical threat range that makes scimitars attractive. In the tradition of Belm, the Scimitar of Speed increases our attack rate in NWN, but through on-equip Haste.

Weapon Master critical wielding scimitar: 10-20 x3.

Scimitar Description


The scimitar shares some similarities with the longsword and other slashing blades, but the severity and thickness of its curve clearly sets it apart.
