Okay. A friend of mine is running Anima in a week or too so I'm making my character sheet and getting ready for the game. I REALLY want to start with a Khopesh and my friend said I could. We looked through the Anima book he has and its not in there. So could anyone give my stats for it or help make stats for it? If needed, heres the wikipedia page on Khopeshes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh

Hoping to get a reply soon >,<

There are no stats for a Khopeshes (That I am aware of anyway). Therefore someone will have to make them and be approved by the GM.

Upon quickly reading the article the Khopeshes seems to be a combination of a sword, sickle, and an axe (but qualifies as a sword). So a simple stat block could be;

Weapon: Khopeshes
Damage: 45
Speed: +15
Req. STR: 5
Primart Attack Type: Cut
Secondary Attack Type: Impact
Weapon Type: Sword/Short Arm
Special: Trapping
Fort: 13
Break: 2
Pres: 20

Or thats probably what I would allow in one of my games. Anyway good luck.

In Arcana Exxet, there's one of the Incarnations that uses a Khopesh, Kha-nefer, The Dark Priest. In the write up, it says to use the stats of a Long Sword for the Khopesh. So it looks like that's Anima Studios official ruling on the matter at this time. I hadn't realized they didn't have a Khopesh, so I put it as "Khopesh (Long Sword?)" when I was doing the translation, because it did call it a long sword, but the name of the weapon is Kopesh. You can find the thread here:

Or scroll down a little to the thread entitled "Incarnations, From Arcana Exxet".

He's the last entry I did. I hope that information helps.

ooh, ooh, i already did up stats for a khopesh, so here it is. as well as its smaller cousin, the sapara.

khopesh

damage: 50

speed: -5

required strength: 5

primary at: cut

secondary at: thrust

type: sword/axe

special: trapping weapon, special (grants +15 to disarm maneuver)

fortitude/breakage/pressence: 13/3/20

sapara

damage: 40

speed: +10

required strength: 4

primary at: cut

secondary at: thrust

type: short arm

fortitude/breakage/pressence: 12/1/20

I'd use the stats posted by Brewmaster Vitty (at most the GM might decide not to allow the bonus to the disarm maneuver). Perhaps I wouldn't use the secondary attack type thrust either. Otherwise those stats are really good.

I'd also use those stats. Better than using the Long Sword ones. I was kinda disappointed they did that.
