But I can't figure out how to modify the &t variable. Is this possible or are we limited to $tar?

Also is there any reason NOT to use scimitars? Is there a point where the loss of balance time is offset by the damage gained by longswords, broads or battleaxes? Sorry for the nub questions I don't know enough yet about the underlying maths to really be able to work it out myself easily.

Personally, I didn't Trans it because I already had artefact tattoos for all the ones I regularly use (cloak, mindseye, shield, etc.) Unfortunately I also made the mistake of taking Inkmilling as one of my first two tradeskills, rather than picking it up as my fifth and saving more lessons on not learning past Mythical.

In PVP, I find DSL and S&B to be pretty similar. They both have pros and cons compared to each other, but I'd say S&B is much easier to grasp as a new combatant and be effective at a base level, and S&B does it while having better defense than DSL. In PVP, you will use broads/axes over scims/longs for specific attacks for specific reasons (Usually faster limb prep or damage spiking) but you'll never use them as your primary weapons, no. In hunting, I did often hunt with broad/tower as S&B, since the defense was excellent and the damage was good, and before I scripted switching weapons before each attack, a scim/axe combo as DSL was an easy way to have the same DPS and also get the most out of your razeslashes.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
You won't (according to various admin over the years, including Tecton when the current phrasing of the rules was put in, though notably not according to a strict interpretation of the rules) get in trouble for any amount of automation as long as you're actually at the computer paying attention to the game, and can respond to things (such as an admin checking to see if you're there, though I'd also be careful of ignoring other players as well in case an admin is watching and decides you're AFK based on that) promptly. But if you have full automation (and the hunting script you described would likely fall under that, though there have been times where it's been deemed acceptable if the automation is being triggered by another player, like attacking what the leader attacks or having triggers to do what someone tells you) and you do leave the game, even if it was just this one time and it was only for a minute and it was an emergency, you'll be punished if caught.
So it's technically acceptable, but risky and not advisable. At the very least, it would be a good idea to have some kind of automated cutoff so it can't continue for very long if you're away. And on that note, preventing scripts from being "fully automated" by leaving out a crucial part, for example an autofishing script that doesn't recast for you, won't necessarily protect you from punishment. Even if the script won't go on indefinitely without you, if an admin happens to test you and you don't respond during the time before the manual part of the script comes up (you go several minutes without catching a fish and needing to recast, for example), it won't matter (or at least there have been cases in the past where it didn't matter) whether the script would have stopped later. Being mostly automated instead of fully automated like that makes you a lot safer, but the only way to be completely safe is to never be AFK while you have any kind of automated or semi-automated hunting/fishing/tradeskill/whatever running.
It should also be noted that the admin tests can come in unexpected forms. It won't always just be a tell, it could be something like a sudden leak or fire on your ship while deep-sea fishing, or something else that you need to respond to but isn't an obvious attempt at communication. So you should be ready to respond to anything that might happen in the game, not just have alerts for tells/communication.
Disclaimer: This is all based on past admin statements on the matter, issue rulings, shrubbings, etc., but I don't know the current official position, which could have changed at any time.
