rembrat 11-30-03, 04:36 AM	Hi, A player of mine presented me with something that sounded interesting, and I cant think of a reason why he can't do it ... He wants to play a swashbuckling cleric (Of Tymora in the Forgotten realms, in this case). Clerics have access for free to all simple weapons. He wants to pay for the Martial Weapons feat and use a Rapier. In 2nd Edition, clerics could only use bludgeoning weapons, but I can't find any rule along those lines in the 3.0/3.5 PHB. The allowed weapons (All Simple Weapons) even includes two edged weapons - Sickle and Dagger. Is there any reason why he can't use a Rapier ? Thanks Chris

Well... sorry then... But, contrary to my likings, it's true. The new cleric can use even a orcish double axe, if he wants too...
