Ebony Katana: Alternate Greatsword

Description
Daedric artifacts can suck it.

Adds a smithable, somewhat overpowered greatsword that uses the Ebony Blade model, called the Ebony Katana. It works well for Thief-style characters, due to the fact that it is completely soundless, like a dagger. It truly lives up to the title of a ninja sword, in as many ways as the Creation Kit will allow.

I created this mod for a couple of reasons. 1: The standard Ebony Blade (in my opinion) is a really good-looking weapon, but it becomes obsolete at higher levels. 2: The vanilla Ebony Greatsword looks kind of ugly to me. 3: I don't really like the fact that effective sneak attacks are mostly confined to daggers. 4: I wanted to add a weapon that can compete with dragonbone weapons, but not look like a caveman's weapon.

Crafting Recipe:
1 unenchanted Ebony Greatsword
1 Ebony Ingot
2 Leather Strips
2 Ebony Ore
5 Steel Ingots
Required perk: Ebony Smithing

Statistics:
Base damage = 22.0 (same as a vanilla Ebony Greatsword)
Attack speed = 1.0 (same as the vanilla Ebony Blade)
Reach: 1.0
Stagger: 0.75
Weight rating: 10.0
Can be improved at a Grindstone (1 ebony ingot)
Can be enchanted
Swings silently, like a dagger
Critical hits deal an extra 200 damage

Have something to say about any of my mods? I want to hear about it. Leave a comment on the addon with your feedback and/or praise and/or criticism and/or opinion and/or insults and/or death threats, and I'll probably respond to it when I get the chance.

O͟D̸O͠ƠR͝I͜ :

I'd love to try my hand at making a one-handed katana, but that would mean retexturing the Blades Sword, and I'm not any good at that. Last time I tried to reskin a weapon, it ended up disappearing entirely from the game, and I eventually rage quit.

Oh, and I totally agree with you about Keening, Eltonbrand, etc. Bethesda really dropped the ball on those.

Is there a way you can make the size of the ebony blade the same size as the blades katana? It would look amazing as a one-handed weapon if it wasn't so FUCKING BIG. Please, spread this around to all of the prospective "ebony blade" fans, tell them all to make their versions of ONE HANDED ebony blades also the same SIZE as a fucking one handed weapon and not an enormous hulking piece of metal shit that's unbelievably unrealistic for ANYONE to be able to swing around one handed.

Although it was originally a fucking one handed weapon -- leave it to bethesda to fuck things up, even forgetting to include variations of ebony blade, goldbrand, eltonbrand, fucking up keening, and a few other weapons. This weapon is the same length as the big version, is it not? If it's not can someone let me know? because I'd like a normal sized one handed ebony blade....

I have, actually. I'm not so familiar with followers yet, but I'm working on it. I'm kind of a busy person lately, so it might be a while before you see anything like that.

Have you considered creating followers?
