The_Dancing_Cleric 08-07-07, 11:54 PM	What is the BEST weapon to you? I love to use a corosive morningstar
Green Elven Vampire 08-08-07, 12:01 AM	+4 vorpal shoelace!

Suin Bahhar 08-08-07, 03:54 PM	Tashlara
The_Wrath_of_Talos 08-08-07, 04:56 PM	The harpoon is my weapon of choice, that or the mercrucial great sword.
1 ton ghost 08-08-07, 05:07 PM	...a good bluff roll
Wharin 08-09-07, 01:32 AM	What is the BEST weapon to you? I love to use a corosive morningstar Morningstar are, without a doubt, THE best back-up weapon available. Particularly if its of an exotic materials like silver or cold iron. It really helps shrink down that proverbial golfbag of weapons. For main weapons, I like to go for warhammers (which unfortunately makes the morningstar less useful) or (dwarven battle) axes. And adamantine is always a plus.
Blade_Shadow 08-09-07, 03:48 PM	Tashlara seconded, or if you meant type of weapon my vote is for the elven thinblade
Suin Bahhar 08-09-07, 04:28 PM	OK, for weapontype I would choose several categories: damage: the greatsword utility: the dagger tactical: the spiked chain ranged: the composite elven longbow backup: the morningstar Overall the best weapon would have to be the composite elven longbow, treated as a quaterstaff in melee and a packs a heavy punch at good range.
Alleran 08-09-07, 11:10 PM	What is the BEST weapon to you? Fireball. Then another fireball. And then maybe a Lightning Bolt for variety. :D
Crazygx34 08-10-07, 05:00 AM	A 2 handed - sword with 2d6 dam and 17-20 critical hit and a 19 strengh wielder.:D
dragonheart 08-10-07, 08:47 AM	Best weapon - 3 choices, well maybe 4 :D 1. Melee - Longsword with the Metaline benefit so you don't have to worry about DR. 2. Ranged - Magic 3. Secondary - SPiked Hammer - again with Metaline 4. Emergency - Improved unarmed combat and open hands - especially if your a monk/ranger with the ascetic Hunter feat so you count your ranger and monk and ranger levels together for the open hand damage.
Passivearmada 08-12-07, 04:35 PM	The Element of Surprise.
tenguroEd 08-12-07, 04:52 PM	scimitar or the falchion.
Tempus665 08-13-07, 02:40 AM	I still like the bastard sword best, preferably with a cool enchantment like frost or corrosive.
The_Shaman 08-13-07, 07:40 AM	Dagger - sheer versatility. You can use it in a grapple, throw it,cut your way out of a creature when swallowed whole, deal two kinds of damage with it, etc, etc. Oh, and it is a simple weapon.
Sigurd van Norhusen 08-14-07, 01:28 PM	Halberd.

Markustay 08-18-07, 06:01 PM	In your eyes the best weapon is? Tactical Nuke, or a tiny bit of Dark Matter... :devil:
The WarOverlord 08-20-07, 01:23 AM	What is the BEST weapon to you? I love to use a corosive morningstar For what? For Undead, nothing beats a Mace or Morningstar...of Disruption is a plus For fighting multiple foes at once a Halbard or Quando For Fighting Heavily Armored opponents a Pole Axe (Hammer head on one side,angled axe on other side, spike on top,good for opening up plate mail, field plate or Full Plate, spearing at the openings, or just bashing through it all) For Close Combat and Pike formation a Two Handed Sword with over sized Pommel, no guard, and 7 inch's of dull blade above the guard and 5 inches of dull blade near the point so I can Swing Downward from top right shoulder to left waist both hands on handle, "spear" forward one and on Handle one hand on Lower Blade, Axe cross swing to the left with one hand on handle, one hand on Lower blade , Pommel up into the targets chin with one hand one lower blade and one and on upper blade, then stroke straight down into the point between the neck and breastplate with both hands on the lower blade....all in the same time it takes an Amateur/Peasant to swing the "clumsy and Slow" 2 handed sword twice (It's a Precision Martial Tool not a frickin bat)
Ront Iron-Roar 08-20-07, 02:14 AM	Rock Throwing and Improved Rockthrowing feat? Nothing like throwing bits and pieces of a holy alter at a vampire.
MerrikCale 08-20-07, 11:08 PM	In your eyes the best weapon is? pretty much any weapon in my eyes is gonna suck
MarkusTay63 08-21-07, 02:44 AM	pretty much any weapon in my eyes is gonna suck:rofl: :clap:
thrallmaster 08-21-07, 03:08 PM	The best weapon in my opinion is a flick of the wrist and maximized corrupted fireball, and a quickened magic missile always helps. :gah: Also, a dagger in the guys ribs can really turn the tide of battle! :D
menzoberranzan 08-21-07, 04:10 PM	biggest baddest scimitar you can find with the most ridiculous enchantment:invasion:

Lord Karsus 08-27-07, 04:15 PM	pretty much any weapon in my eyes is gonna suck -Excellent! -Anyway, my favorite weapons are my Hands. Quite versatile they are.
MerrikCale 08-27-07, 09:48 PM	-Anyway, my favorite weapons are my Hands. Quite versatile they are. lonely?
Passivearmada 08-28-07, 09:19 AM	lonely? Oh! I've never seen the almighty Lord Karsus so... BURNED! How will he come back to this one???? Oh, and Merrik Cale- you're my new new favorite WotC buddy.
Lord Karsus 08-28-07, 04:23 PM	Oh! I've never seen the almighty Lord Karsus so... BURNED! How will he come back to this one???? -Burned...Why, Armada, that gives me a most excellent idea! Thank you! :mage: @ Merrik
Passivearmada 08-28-07, 08:55 PM	Nice one, LK. No offense to you, but I haven't seen/heard a good burn a long while.
MerrikCale 08-28-07, 09:22 PM	Oh, and Merrik Cale- you're my new new favorite WotC buddy. I appreciate that my friend, but I believe LK has just incinerated me. You wouldn't happen to have resurrection capabilities would you? Those damn archmages have no sense of humor
Passivearmada 08-29-07, 03:56 PM	I appreciate that my friend, but I believe LK has just incinerated me. You wouldn't happen to have resurrection capabilities would you? Those damn archmages have no sense of humor Why, as a matter of fact, I do! *casts resurrect and pretection from fire energy*

derekkohn 08-29-07, 10:29 PM	welcome back merrikcale!! :) :) love the picture. best weapon? i'd say a nice sharp short blade in the back works for me:devil: :devil:
Odette 08-29-07, 11:48 PM	I think character type dictates type of attack more than anything Bard/Rogue - Kukri (I love the extended critical range) Fighter/Barbarian - GreatAxe (becomes even deadlier with the Throw Anything Feat and a Returning Enhancement on it) Cleric - Morningstar - better for undead battling (screw what your god uses) Monks - bare hands (and feet, and head..I usually go kung fu on my opponent's ass) Rangers - Longsword & Longbow (simple, basic) Druids - Quarterstaff (when not ravaging enemies in animal form) Sorcerers/Wizards - who needs weapons when you command The Art?
Lord Karsus 08-30-07, 01:31 AM	Now I can get back to pestering LK -What would I do without you? I probably would have brought you back myself if Armada hadn't.
MerrikCale 08-30-07, 08:01 AM	-What would I do without you? I probably would have brought you back myself if Armada hadn't. thats sweet
Passivearmada 08-30-07, 04:08 PM	LK, I thought you were more of an Evoker.
Lord Karsus 08-30-07, 04:25 PM	-I specialize in nothing. I keep my options open, you know?
Passivearmada 08-31-07, 06:29 PM	Very cool- I like it. Sun elf archamge too, right?
MarkHall 08-31-07, 08:29 PM	The best weapon is the one in the hand of a person willing to make a difference.
Lord Karsus 08-31-07, 08:48 PM	Very cool- I like it. Sun elf archamge too, right? -That is correct. I am the Sun Elven High Mage aspect of Karsus. KtM is the Netherese Arcanist aspect of Karsus. Our third aspect is a Beholder Mage. Don't ask about that third...:nonono:
godbeepit 08-31-07, 08:53 PM	-That is correct. I am the Sun Elven High Mage aspect of Karsus. KtM is the Netherese Arcanist aspect of Karsus. Our third aspect is a Beholder Mage. Don't ask about that third...:nonono: Now, even though you say not to you have piqued my curiosity. How exactly does one first split himself into three separate entities of different races? Especially races as different as elves and beholders?
MerrikCale 08-31-07, 09:19 PM	Especially races as different as elves and beholders? they're closer than you think
Passivearmada 09-01-07, 02:57 PM	The best weapon is the one in the hand of a person willing to make a difference. Well said, Mr. Hall, well said. Do you happen to be a paladin, because then I would like the quote a little less.
MarkHall 09-01-07, 03:16 PM	Not particularly. I tend to like paladins, though I'm not up to their standards.
Passivearmada 09-01-07, 03:20 PM	Yeah, me neither- I don't like devoting my life to law. NG is okay, though.
MerrikCale 09-01-07, 07:49 PM	Yeah, me neither- I don't like devoting my life to law. NG is okay, though. does that mean you don't like lawyers
Passivearmada 09-01-07, 09:29 PM	Absolutely- I think all lawyers and lobbyists should be put on an island and be forced to fight to the death. No offense to all you lawyers and lobbyists out there, though.
Lord Karsus 09-01-07, 09:43 PM	Now, even though you say not to you have piqued my curiosity. How exactly does one first split himself into three separate entities of different races? Especially races as different as elves and beholders? -Crazy things happen when your soul is sundered while in possession of the the divine mantle of magic. Absolutely- I think all lawyers and lobbyists should be put on an island and be forced to fight to the death. No offense to all you lawyers and lobbyists out there, though. -What about lawyers who defend the innocent, or lobbyists who lobby for beneficial change for all?
MerrikCale 09-02-07, 12:05 AM	everybody hates lawyers until they need one
Passivearmada 09-02-07, 10:34 AM	You see, I was just thinking about that LK, and you are right MerrikCale, but lawyers also defend the guilty, and some lobbyists lobby for bad things like the consumption of fossil fuels and other limited resources. But if they're doing something good, then I guess I don't care- and sorry MerrikCale: I noticed you're an attorney.
Odette 09-02-07, 11:16 AM	You see, I was just thinking about that LK, and you are right MerrikCale, but lawyers also defend the guilty, and some lobbyists lobby for bad things like the consumption of fossil fuels and other limited resources. But if they're doing something good, then I guess I don't care- and sorry MerrikCale: I noticed you're an attorney. Some warriors attack the innocent. Some clerics worship evil gods. Should ALL warriors and clerics then be sent to an island to battle to the death until one emerges as king??? Actually....sounds like a pretty good adventure.
MerrikCale 09-02-07, 11:21 AM	You see, I was just thinking about that LK, and you are right MerrikCale, but lawyers also defend the guilty, and some lobbyists lobby for bad things like the consumption of fossil fuels and other limited resources. But if they're doing something good, then I guess I don't care- and sorry MerrikCale: I noticed you're an attorney. No need to apologize. Lawyers do defend the guilty sometimes. But everyone has the right to their day in Court and everyone has the right to an attorney.
Passivearmada 09-02-07, 12:03 PM	True. I just get mad when someone so obviously guilty gets a good lawyer and then they're proved not guilty and they're free to live on and commit another crime. And I like the cleric warrior island adventure. Very much like Battle Royale, my favorite book of all time.
Sol_Aedh_Avoth 09-02-07, 05:05 PM	The best Weapon is the one which stays away from my eyes... :D Well, I like sharp Long Swords... if it's the Holy Avenger, the Blade Of The Sun or the Plane Edge it's better...

peteyrock 09-04-07, 12:01 PM	The longbow. It's insanely versatile.
godbeepit 09-04-07, 10:14 PM	Pshah, material weapons are pointless. Use your words to weave deceit and treachery. For instance, distract your opponent enough to put himself in the path of his own blow. It's not too difficult, just keep talking and pull at the right moment. Alternatively, you use your enemy's enemy as a weapon. Have them fight each other.:)

It does all that... except maybe the impersanations... and more! ^_^ Now all I have to do is find that old article in Dragon...

Forest_Wanderer_Aerandir 09-10-07, 09:15 AM	Pfft! Blanket's are required to be tied together in order to make a functional wall-climbing devise. You know else rope does? It ties old naked insane super-monkey's in a flail that you can whip at your enemies. THAT'S your best weapon. If they don't die from the sight of wrinkly monkey parts, the monkeys'll rip them to death.
druid_of_silvanus 09-10-07, 11:33 AM	I have to disagree about your choice for mage weapon. I think the light crossbow is his best choice. I personally also disagree about the choice for druid, a quarterstaff is good but a club does the same damage and you can still employ your sheild also any spells that a quaterstaff would be the focus for a club will do the same. A final note on druid weapons lets not forget the scimitar laced with poision.

Reneshat 12-04-07, 03:26 AM	Master Specialist is in Complete Mage. Master Specialist level 10 allows you to cast a standard action conjuration as a free action 3 times a day. Unearthed Arcana allows you to give up a familiar to cast summon spells as a standard action. Malconvoker level 5 allows you to summon two creatures instead of one every time you cast summon monster. This plus buffs both classes give to your summons, and other buffing feats you can take, allows for it to get nasty. Oh yeah, Malconvoker is in Complete Scoundrel for those of you keeping track at home.
sfdragon 12-06-07, 06:07 AM	a starmetal longsword +4 with holy, flaming,freezing, corrosive and shocking enhancements. or a long bow with similar enchantments. what can i say, I dont like the idea of carrying around more weapons that their combined weight competes with my armor for carrying space, that and either of the two weapons listed in this post can bypass most if not all damage reductions. if that wasnt good enough, then how about a +1 holy longbow with each of the elemental burst enchantments on it in the hands of an arcane archer with hail of arrows going off?(did i mention i dont like the Arcane archer?)

Funny Complete Scoundrel was the first D&D book I got outside of the core ones... :) So n Unearthed Arcana, if you give up a familiar, you can cast spells with no AoO? Amazingly super. Could you name some other buffing feats (I know there's one in te PHB3.5, in which the summoned creatures get like +4 to the first 3 abilities)?

Khaelieth 12-16-07, 04:42 PM	I'll have to go with Elven High Magic. Nothing like destroying a city with a few syllables. My favourite weapon varies from character to character, love daggers, longswords (in combination! *Squeals*) and spiked gauntlets. Spiked chain is kewl as well.
Magadon 12-22-07, 06:19 AM	-soupsbane-+2 Wooden spoon with bane(soup)- heh its a weapon i found in champions of norrath(its no baulders gate but still)
Nevulin 01-03-08, 09:22 PM	They've taken all the weapons and balanced everything out so well that there really isn't a weapon that's better than others from it's size catagory. The warhammer has a X3 damage on a crit but only threatens on a natural role of 20. Battle Axe, same thing. Scimitar, threatens on 18-20, but only does X2 damage @ 1d6. The falchion threatens on 18-20, but only does 2d4 and it's a two-handed weapon. It's give and take with all weapons really. I think that the weapon variety provided by the game only serves the purpose for individual character flavor and that's pretty much it. "Yeah, my last character used a bastard sword one-handed as an exotic last time, this character is using a dwarven war axe one handed as an exotic this time." Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Maybe I'm jaded, but that's what I'm seeing these days.
Stigger 01-04-08, 07:05 AM	Probably going to get even worse with 4e in that respect... at least if Saga's abandoning of anything outside of x2 criticals is any indication. Presuming that its an indicator of things to come, it's going to take a feat to get a x3 critical modifier. Not too sure about that aspect of it, to say the least.
sfdragon 01-11-08, 08:45 PM	a light repeating crossbow, enchanted to +5, with its ammo place enchanted for unlimited ammo with drow paralyzing poison on it, along with holy.........

Maybe I'm jaded, but that's what I'm seeing these days. I read that in 4E, they're going to divide all the weapons into 3 categories- offense, defense, and control. I think that each category will have its equivalent to another: warhammer- d8, x3; battleaxe- d8, x3. They're the same, but I think warhammer will go to defense, battleaxe to offense, and maybe the similar longsword to the control. Honestly, I'm looking forward to 4E, as whenever I have a great idea for something, it's almost destroyed by the relentless set of rules that you have to follow to properly run the encounter. It's time for the DM to be a master of creation, not rules.
GoldDragon 01-14-08, 03:14 AM	What is the BEST weapon to you? I love to use a corosive morningstar Knight's Pole Axe which is a Hammer on 1 side, "fluted" Axe on other good for 'can opening" or hacking thorugh buckles and straps, Stiletto/bayonet like pokey thing on top mounted on 3 foot wood or metal shaft with a mace like Pommel/counter weight....very good for close combat mele against multiple foes. A Quando or "Shortened" Halbard comes in a close second using the same "Use all ends" technique that a Knight's Pole Axe is designed for.

GoldDragon 02-15-08, 08:33 AM	Monk Polymorphed into Red Dragon DragonMaster Dagger in case someone wants to turn a Monk into a Red Dragon. That or a Dragonlance smuggled in through the Chemchaux in Raven's Bluff :rolleyes:
RanielK 02-15-08, 01:16 PM	Morningstar are, without a doubt, THE best back-up weapon available. Particularly if its of an exotic materials like silver or cold iron. It really helps shrink down that proverbial golfbag of weapons. For main weapons, I like to go for warhammers (which unfortunately makes the morningstar less useful) or (dwarven battle) axes. And adamantine is always a plus. Nah, I go for the gyrespike. A double weapon which is a sword on one end and a spiked ball on the other connected by a chain. The only thing it doesn't do is have reach. It can be used to trip. Add to that the metal perhelion (sp?) which I've seen in LG. It acts as overcoming both DR Silver and DR cold iron. To my knowledge it doesn't act like adamantine, but I could be wrong. Course that is second to being the boomstick, :eek: er, I mean blaster style Sorcerer. :cool:
RanielK 02-15-08, 01:44 PM	For what? For Undead, nothing beats a Mace or Morningstar...of Disruption is a plus Nah, when you absolutely, positively have to dust every undead in the room . . . Rod of Defiance,* accept no substitutes. *Only in the hands of a truely cracked out turning cleric (Radiant Servant) Oh and I forgot all about the Elvencraft Bow out of Races of the Wild. Bow and quarterstaff for the archer to be armed at all times. Though the various swordbows are nice as well.

msatran 02-19-08, 03:11 AM	The Best Weapon is Solonor's Arrow. You fire it. It always hits it's target, always crits, and the target must save or die after the crit even if you don't use the death by massive damage rules. Granted, it's a physical manifestation of the god's power on the prime, but two saves or death from an autocrit is pretty impressive.
Reneshat 02-19-08, 03:25 AM	My army of UNDEAD soldiers. With a single comand word, ALL of the dead in the world rise to fight for me. :invasion: Pahh, your average cracked out turning cleric dusts your army.
RanielK 02-19-08, 09:24 AM	AK-47 :ayyyy!: When you absolutely, positively have to kill every ************ in the room. Accept no substitutes. Well, that or the lightsaber. :P
RanielK 02-19-08, 09:28 AM	An Arrow of Slaying after casting Truestrike Well in that case, take the Raptor Arrows (relic from the MIC) and worship Ehlonah (sp?). That way, not only are they Arrow of Slaying (whatever you just hit), they're also Returning and don't get destroyed by being used, so you can do it all over again next round. At 6,000 gp a pop you only need to buy six (4 shots at full BAB + 1 Rapid Shot + 1 Haste attack). Now if they only came in adamantine.
RanielK 02-19-08, 09:31 AM	Monk Polymorphed into Red Dragon Nah, 12-headed hydra.
SCOUT1IDF 02-21-08, 02:37 AM	Pahh, your average cracked out turning cleric dusts your army. If I animated my entire Army of Undead, your cracked out cleric would wet himself and run home to mommy. :weep: :tissue:
