This ancient celebration is characterized by various traditions and rituals that embrace the darkness and honor the rebirth of light.

Pirates favor cutlasses because the blade is sharp enough to cut through rigging and enemy sailors but is short enough to use in crowded shipboard melees.

Yule celebrations often involve the burning of the Yule log, which represents the hearth and warmth amidst the darkness.

Scimitar and Cutlass

Cutlass: A cutlass is a short, curved sword with a single sharp edge. Pirates favor cutlasses because the blade is sharp enough to cut through rigging (and enemy sailors) but is short enough to use in crowded shipboard melees.

Both weapons are one handed martial and have a the same stats.

Any GMs/DMs have any problems with it sharing Feats, the only reason not to is their name.

No, not really. This is more of an Advice question by the way. Not really any rules questions.

Sadly if you play PFS it does not.

there are a few cutlass traits that we wanted to use with dervish dance.

But for any home game your right, its the same weapon.

You could, of course, use a "scimitar" but describe it as a cutlass regardless, just mechanically, on your sheet, it's "scimitar".

While many (not all, but many) cutlasses featured a basket hilt, to the best of knowledge no scimitar did. Now, I don't think Pathfinder has given any game statistics for a basket hilt (let me know if I am wrong), but it served to protect the hand of the wielder, although it also made it harder to draw. It also made a great punching weapon (in history) to hit someone with. So, for my game, that is the difference between the two: a scimitar lacks a basket hilt, whereas a cutlass has one and gets a +2 bonus on CMD versus disarm attempts. No bonus on attempting such moves, just a bonus to defend against them. I also let the character wielding a cutlass punch for lethal damage and give him a +1 bonus on damage if he punches an opponent with the basket hilt.

The log is ceremoniously lit, and its flames are believed to bring good luck and protection to the home. As the log burns, prayers and intentions are offered to bring light and blessings into the coming year. Another common tradition during the winter solstice is the decoration of homes with evergreen boughs and wreaths. These plants, which retain their green color throughout the year, symbolize life and vitality in the midst of winter. They serve as a reminder that even in the coldest and darkest of times, life continues to thrive. Participating in community gatherings and feasts is also a significant aspect of pagan winter solstice celebrations. These gatherings foster a sense of unity and connection, as individuals come together to share food, stories, and music. It is a time to honor the bonds of family and community and to express gratitude for the abundance of the past year. In conclusion, the winter solstice plays a prominent role in pagan culture, representing a profound spiritual and natural event. It is an occasion to embrace the darkness, celebrate the return of light, and connect with the cycles of nature. Through various traditions and rituals, pagans commemorate this time of rebirth, hope, and unity, as they welcome the lengthening of days and the promise of a new year filled with light..
