i noticed this under greatswords in the toolset. Now being an avid fan of psionicists...i went...omg! psion crystal weapons!...then was dismayed when i couldnt find it on anything but greatswords. Are they any crystal/gem versions like this under the other categories? longsword..scimitar..the single handed varity?

That was added as the weapon model for the three or four types of crystal golem creatures included in the 1.69 update last summer.

There aren't any other crystal weapon models in the game (as far as I know of).

Because, even with one so skilled as The Amethyst Dragon at the helm, a video game will never be as good as PnP Dungeons and Dragons

How difficult is it to build and introduce new weapon models into the game?

As far as I can tell (from looking at the only material to compare).. for a simple change such as "Monkey Grip".. alot of hard work.. or a lot of easy work.... all depends how you want to approach it....

From what I see from the dual whips/ 1-hand spears... it would be one collum/entry in the weapons 2da, that would make all greatswords (or weapons of choice) 1 handed.. .. very similiar to how it was changed for spears...

Actually turning it into say a "barbarian" class feature though... that would likely require an added feat, with pre-reqs, and a quick "on-aquire" of any 2H weapons if player has feat, then swap/copy/change/replace with a 1H base version... The Amethyst Dragon could likely use similiar code to his cestus swapper for this....

I think it could be done... if someone wanted to spend the time/effort to do it... but the balance issues would likely have to be looked at....

Oh, no, I don't mean the feats and whatnot, I mean the models. How hard would it be to make one-handed crystal sword weapons?

Oh.. In that case.. erm.. yes I think I see the angle you were coming from.... erm.. haven't a clue... likely a case of taking said gemstone golem blades, and shrinking them to size, adjust weapon/parts 2da's for new appearances.... erm.. could also just add these greatsword appearances to say the bastard sword list ((thats been done before:) ))...
