Well what are they?? I enjoy the +2 bastard sword (+3 against dragons), and a +2 daggar for throwing.

Weapons of Choice are an optional rule, introduced in Skills & Powers–if i remember correctly.

It's effects are a permanent +1 to hit with the choosen weapon for the cost of 2 CP's or 1 proficiency slot. If memory serves, any class may purchase this ability. For instance, if you choose "Bastard Sword" as your character's weapon of choice, all bastard swords the character uses recieve this +1 bonus to hit (but not other types of swords, such as broad, long, two handed, etc.). This means you cannot choose "Swords" or "Bows", it must be a single, specific type of weapon you are proficient in.

Hammer + 3 dwarven thrower, what else? Man i love this magic item almost as much as a ring of vampiric regeneration.

Mace of Disruption +2 with the extra percentage to disintegrate undead.

Or, if a halfling, then I prefer a Hornblade - cuts through stone and wood like butter.

Mace of Disruption for that undead spanking joy.

Failing that, a stick, because well, there's always one around

Amen.

Be it a broken chair-leg or a severed goblin arm, the club is truly the adventurer's best friend.

Tenzhi, where are you getting your information on the Hornblade? I looked it up in both 1e and 2e books and it doesn't say anywhere that it can cut through stone or wood. Is the version you have a unique weapon?

I likes me a batarang; but failing that, a hand axe is always nice to have handy when you're facing things with limbs that need lopping.

Darts.

I decided long ago that they must be like Jarts, and practiced flinging them underhand style at things in my backyard. With practice you could get them to fly in a reasonably flat trajectory suitable for dungeon combat.

Several favorites right out of the book (or nearly):

Rapier of Quickness (aka Short Sword of Quickness) - +2 and always strikes first
or Rapier of Speed (aka Scimitar of Speed) - same as above, but improves attks/rnd by one category (i.e. 3/2 becomes 2/1)
Dagger of Throwing with Rings of Readiness - returns each round to be thrown again and again and again ...
Long Sword, +5 Defender - how can you beat a Long Sword for availability, and the Defender for flexibility?!?

Now don't get me started on custom magical weapons!
