ill take the books one because its the only one without a major downside, and the only one you cant be forced to make weaker. i dont want an honest opponent to hobble me, or to have to be far from home, or to have an incentive to allow back pain to continue. no one can make me unread books.

And it doesn't specify the length of the books so you read a bunch 100pgs or less books

I'm going with the back pain blade. If it procs my sciatica, it adds shock damage.

I rarely have a use IRL for a strong sword, thinking about it.

But in this case is pick the Pinocchio one, as it's useful as a lie detector.

I need to know how the damage scales first. Also, I feel like you could game the system by reading short books, even write your own books with only one word in it.

It scales with the amount of words (and a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm gonna read Dr Seuss books to power up)

How is "home" defined? Because that could be a great hack

I've always heard "home is where the heart is." Finally, my love of deep space has become useful!

Unless it goes the literal route, in which case those who've had prosthetics or heart transplants become the superior fighters.

The sword that becomes stronger the more lies the opponent has told could help in toppling the kakistocracy.
