	'''Scimitars''' are weapons that are commonly associated with pirates and Arabian swordsmen. Although, in more recent times, the scimitar, or sabre, was issued to army officers -- more for decorative purposes than useful purposes. They were often used as slashing weapons for close-range fighting by cavalry. They are still commonly used in marching drills and as ceremonial swords for formal occasions by the United States military.

	A scimitar is a [[backsword]]-type weapon, being single-edged and has a sharply curving blade. The hilt of a scimitar is usually angled to allow for extra leverage when swinging, which is not a design incorporated into double-edged weapons due to the fact that a double-edged weapon can be swung two different ways.

	A scimitar can be compared to a longsword easily, as the [[longsword]] does the same type of damage and is the same speed. However, the scimitar has lower [[damage factor]]s than the longsword against every type of armor, has lower [[AvD]]s than a longsword against every type of armor, and has lower breakage values than the longsword.
