Make Falchion Exotic

I think it might be obvious by now that falchions are really strong in the hands of barbarians and just in general maybe a bit too good once you get improved critical (especially when fully buffed).

So a small suggestion to bring them down in power to simply make them an exotic weapon proficiency. It would require a little more investment in them to make use of and make them feel a little more "exotic".

I can't remember the last barbarian to not use a falchion.

They are exotic as far as I am aware..? If not I would agree with this.

Not sure if it's well known to all yet but players should assume that falchions with -1 damage are the default and that falchions with no damage penalty will be approximately as rare as +1 damage greatswords.

Not 100% but I'm sure I could got a no damage penalty option Falchion in the start up area on the Hak only store.

You used to. Look again.

All default falchions have had a -1 penalty since this week.

Howlando

It's been a few weeks.

Oh I did not know this. Very interesting...I guess this suggestion is unneeded then.

2 to 8+(.5 * 2 to 8 ) damage and you sacrifice 2-3 AC.  Better off just using a scimitar.
