I happen to like katanas, and the ebony blade seems to be the only true one in the game that I have seen.

However, it is woefully underpowered viv-a-vis its actual hp. vs. other swords. Granted, there is the health absorb power which if the wikis are correct, goes up to 30 after ten friendly kills.

Does the 30pt health absorb add to the hit point damage? So if the blade does 78 hp damage, that plus the 30 health = 108 damage? I'm just trying to get a handle on it. I have other swords that do way more and with double enchants, well, the Ebony is almost not worthy of being a Daedric artifact. A 30 point absorb is good, but it is almost impossible to get the actual hp high.

Has anyone use the Restoration glitch to create an enchained ring with a high enough increase in one handed to make it decent? My intention is not to overpower it, but to bring it up to a reasonable damage relative to what I can craft.

Tnx.

I thought the Ebony Blade and the one from the Blades were the same type? I have yet to get both in the same house to compare them, but I thought they were both katana swords. The Blades one is a one handed. I tried the Ebony Blade out and it did not seem to get any more powerful, I lost interest. I like my friends alive.
