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.
