I'm a fan of the classics.

I like morningstars, especially at low levels because it deals bludgeoning and peircing which works nicely on undead. Not to mention it's a giant spiked ball of doom on a stick.

I also like spears. Great for stabbing and throwing. Makes em versatile, especially if you get returning put on it. And they come in a longer version that gives you reach.


A really good psych-up speech right before a dramatic battle is my weapon of choice.

Words are weapons, sharper than knives.
Makes you wonder how the other half dies.


Longspear, quarterstaff, and Double axe, i just find them incredibly cool stats be damned lol

Grand Lodge

1) Armor Spikes, because pointed bits are cool.

2) The Heavy Shield, because you think this only for defense?

3) The Handaxe, because I loved Hatchet when I was young.


I don't know if this exists in the new Ultimate Equipment Guide: the Scottish Basket Hilt claymore.

I have the 2nd Edition Arms and Equipment Guide and it shows the Claymore and the Broadsword.

But I have seen those cloth lined basket hilts and they are cool. I always thought they would be a cool weapon for a character.

Somewhere in a pdf at some point I saw stats for the Orcish Shotput.

It's exactly what it sounds like: a ten-pound metal sphere that acts as a throwing weapon, that half-orcs treat as a martial weapon. I believe it dealt 1d10 damage? Anyone else ever hear of it?


I like the bardiche, the image that comes to mind when I think about a Titan Mauler two-weapon fighting with a pair of these things brings a tear to my eye :,) Pity its not very functional, rules wise (all them -s to hit suck). The image I get is two of these from Mount and Blade :D

Another favorite is the dwarven boulder helmet :D A dwarf stonelord wearing stone platemail, with a stone tower shield, a stone warhammer and wearing a stone bolder helmet is another image that comes to mind when I think of dwarves! Ether that or a deep earth sorcerer.

That was a great one. Heavy to lug around, but once you've got a handy haversack, not so bad. I just liked the image of an orc basically *throwing* cannonballs at people.

Spiked armor, spiked shield, spiked gauntlets and some sort of blade boots and helmet spike (all available in 3.X, IIRC, along with the truly terrible 'knife what hangs from my pony tail and I whip around to attack people with'). I love the idea of playing a spiked-up dwarf who looks like a metal hedgehog.

Skip the barbazu beard, 'though. My arbitrarily-drawn line between 'cool' and 'silly' ends just before that. :)


My favorite weapon in the glaive, purely for a coolness factor.

Though I am starting to really want to make a character that uses a Rope Dart.

RPG Superstar 2013 Top 16

My cleric of Torag uses his shovel (a masterwork Profession (miner) tool) as a weapon. I thought I would have retired it already, but he scored another kill with it in "Fortress of the Nail" at level 5.


In game--greatsword.

In real life? Combination of axe and stab. I like tomahawk and bowie knife--but my fave is warhammer left hand and arming sword in the right.

In terms of its versatility the Nodachi feels nearly perfect. It's as a bastard sword, but with a larger crit threat range, can do piercing or slashing, and brace.
You're now the second person to think the NoDachi is like a bastard sword. It's a two-handed martial weapon, though, and can't be one-handed like a bastard sword. The real core weapon it's like is the Elven Curve Blade--it just doesn't take a feat to learn and isn't finesseable.

Well of course. That's obvious. The books list it as a martial two-handed weapon.
