In the hands of a skilled [[Short Blades]] specialist, the '''captain's cutlass''' is as good as any [[quick blade]], if not better. Its base damage is significantly higher than all other short blades while still benefiting from an extremely fast attack speed; even without an additional brand, it can deal excellent amounts of damage quickly, both in open combat and when [[stabbing]]. Like all short blades, it benefits greatly from any [[slaying]] bonuses you can give it, especially when dealing with high-[[AC]] targets in the late game. All in all it's a very respectable weapon, though, unlike a quick blade, it will chop off [[hydra]] heads.

Desirability

In the hands of a skilled Short Blades specialist, the captain's cutlass[1] is as good as any quick blade, if not better. It can deal excellent amounts of damage quickly, both in open combat and when stabbing. Like all short blades, it benefits greatly from any slaying bonuses you can give it, especially when dealing with high-AC targets in the late game. If you manage to disarm a foe you even get bonus damage. All in all it's a very respectable weapon.
