[Bishop Edward]

Man, I wish I'd applied myself better in high school Statistics and Probability class. Gotta crunch some numbers and figure out which one does more harm in the long run.

Short answer: Short sword.

Longer, but still simple, explanation: Everything on this server which is immune to crits (which is more than most).

Even longer caveat: Only weapon-mastering the kukri and dual wielding it would justify its usage IMHO; and as I've learned, dual wielding AND weapon-mastering proficiently simply require too many feats to be viable on this server (even more-so if they aren't your main character that you can wrack up the notoriety and time required to get to higher levels).
