now we have swordmage in fr...which is focused on heavy/light blades
so just hoping you guys at the staff have enough....errr........ common sense to realize that YES blades may be the most popular weapon but there are tons of others out there that need your help!
I know there is hammer rhythm but not much else...whoopty freakin doo
small races get the most weapon damage out of a scimitar currently because it's the highest dice-sized non-versatile weapon they can carry... OH LOOK ANOTHER HEAVY BLADE!
Everytime you buy that fancy longsword, Kord kills a pick
So please...think of the picks.....and axes...and spears....and so forth.
Even though it's blades I hope they add some oriental weapons in there and what I would love to see most is a Long Composite Longbow and specialty arrows/bolts. ^^.
Yes, I agree with this. It would be nice to get a bow that has a proficiency of +3 as currently the only ranged weapon that does is a shuriken.
Specialty arrows would be neat. I cant wait to get some arrows with different effects in my game.
Just my .02
The only book that would provide such, would be the martial handbook which may have new powers for the fighter that focus on other weapons.
As to the staff though, while it may show up in martial power, I think it may be more a focus for the monk class. I do hope this isn't the case however. I would love to build a staff using fighter that has some bonus' or powers that accentuate the weapon. Or at least some I can mulit-class with and give my wizard a couple of tricks with his chosen implement.
Hopefully we'll get a Lucerne Hammer, a Lance, an Atlatl, a Whip, a Sling-Staff, Bladed Gauntlets, and Finger Blades.
Well the previw today showed that there'll be at least one new weapon (With Gauntlets of Destruction built in no less) the Executioner Axe, and being that it has also showcased a new weapon keyword we can safely infer that there will be more weapons in Adventurer's Vault

In an interview it was stated that the book will also include the biggest hammer possible, so that is two non-blade weapons for you.

ya mean like that one from the Conan the Barbarian movie
AND MORE 1 HANDED WEAPONS WITH DECENT DAMAGE FOR SMALL CHARACTERS, ALL WE HAVE SO FAR IS SCIMITAR (and rapier if you want superior weapon power)

I really hope they dont just up the damage die and make it exotic. It would be a 2d8 hammer, for crying out loud. Thats 2d10 with bugbear and minotaur characters!

How about Make it Superior, Up the Damage Code, Add the Polearm Type, Add the Reach 2 and Brutal 2 Keywords
Maybe add a greatmace (two-handed mace) as well, for when they expand on mace options in the martial power guide. Maybe even a war scythe (for pick options) and a lance (for more spears and/or expansion of mounted combat) as well.
There might even be some more exotic options included, such as:
Whips (one-handed reach weapon with low damage)
Boomerangs and/or Chakrams (for extra throwing weapon options)
Nunchaku, sais, and other 'monk' weapons (they may wait for the monk to be closer to release for these, but then again we already have shuriken)

I forgot about the "Acme" hammer that one of Thulsa Doom's general wields. Even on the big muscular guy it looked so cartoony. I got to watch that movie again.
"Conan! What is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women."
