While there is a zillion threads about this, I still didn't find one that doesn't fail to see the points I'm interested in.

So, with U11 we get more fort on bosses. 1st question, is it likely to be around 75% or closer to 50%, assuming some debuffs like improved sunder and that rogue thing?

Then, with arti's deadly weapons, B swords would get a significant boost over khopesh or just a minor one? Assuming triple air cannith crafted, or lit2 gs, with +6/+10 seeker.

Also, how would they compare at damage bonus 35? and at damage bonus 50?

And, how would elven scimitars compare to b-swords and khopeshes?

I know there is already math about this around, but I'm mainly interested about post U11 situation. Also, not caring much about trash, just raid bosses.

The first thing is: why would you want to use a lit 2 against bosses? Even the triple air alchemical isn't a great boss beater.

Second: Deadly Weapons doesn't exist yet, so it depends how it's implemented. If it simply doubles base dice, that would be a big advantage for the GS bastard sword. If it instead does +1 standard dice, or +1 dice, that would be less of an advantage.

Finally, regarding fort: no one has quantitatively measured it yet, or at least no one has published findings of such testing.

Enter the values yourself and pop up more than one results window for comparison. Could even put BS, GS BS, khopesh and GS khopesh side by side, etc.
