Which Weapon do YOU use?

i'd use one of these (Nunchakus), as i do in real life, but sadly they're not in the game... though i remember having read 'exotic weapon proficiency Nunchakus/half-ling Nunchaku' somewhere, so they are in dnd, not in toee though...
in toee, the most effective weapon i like is the keened-up scythe... it's x4 on crits by the way, this + a cool animation move, lots of blood, and about 100 damage (power attack included) for a reasonable leveled fighter...
and i like to see a barbarian with rage great-cleaving the hell out of everybody with a glaive...

 

lol wow...oops i guess.

 

Fruella would have at least a 10+ feat in Marital Weapons Proficiency. Is it really all marital weapons? Would a weapon type or group have to be chosen when selecting the feat to use a rolling pin, frying pan, cleaver, mallet, ice pick, or broomstick?

 

Damn...7 years of college down the drain!

 

tommy: lots of people go to college for 7 years
Richard: yeah their called doctors

only 3 years down the drain here i guess.

 

yeah thats right, altho you only need SWP to thresh rice - and a longer handle on one of the bits - like a fail

 

d'oh, I flailed another spot check.

btw this is what I was talking about altho this is the same tool from half a world away

 

Dude...don't they have GUNS where you live? We almost issue them to kids here. Almost. The ones that can't draw them from the parent's armoury get them the old fashioned way...theft. I fired my first rifle at age 5, and was happily blasting away at anything that moved with a shotgun along the Tuscarawas Trail by age 15. Still have that one, and a few more to boot...including the original .32 WS rifle.

 

Actually, as a master weapons instructor in the US Army during the Korean "Police Action". and later as a weapons instructor for the San Diego County Sheriff's department, I qualified as expert with about everything that could be handled by one person, and as part of multi-person fire teams.

I think that technology has taken most of the personal feeling out of warfare. What can a person feel about self anything by blowing something away from hundreds of miles away?

You need to get up close and personal and get splattered with their blood while you look into their eyes to get any idea about what war is all about. Been there & done that. Not as much fun as many might think.

That is why I choose to use a BFA as my primary weapon (Check my avatar) and a hand-and-a-half (Bastard) sword for my off hand for Renfaires and D&D.

 

Safe, secure and satisfied. My tax dollars are well spent on things like Tomahawks & Tridents. SDB's aren't bad, either:

Side note: You sound conflicted about this whole war thing; Do you love it as you imply ref. the "BFA" statement, or hate it as you say with the "not much fun" comment? Just trying to understand, here. :scratchhe

 

Hi again, Lord Spike

Starting from the end and working forward -

No, REAL war is NOT much fun. I really would not want to do it over again. It took years to get the smell of decaying human flesh out of my nostrils. There are some demented souls who find pleasure in this sort of thing, but I am not one of them.

On the other hand if it became necessary to fight and even kill someone in defense of my self or more importantly my 8 year old triplet granddaughters ON OUR OWN SOIL, there would be no hesitation.

I do not want to have to go to some foreign country to force the people there to make the same choice.. I DO NOT want to start a political argument on this subject.

In role playing, whether it is D&D (PnP or otherwise) or in Renfaires we can re-create the brutal, bloody wars (Good olde days?) so my alter ego comes into play - ergo, the BFA. In these instances NO ONE REALLY DIES. This is a big difference.

I also shoot a bow (75 pound Hunter recurve) both in competition on and off the Renfaire grounds, and in our battle field arrow flights during the renfaire. Even that is cheating in a way, but at least you can see the target (usually) even at 200 yards. At 200 miles you can't tell if the target is a troop of military or a bunch of school girls.
