[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5469158, member: 12460"] Think about it this way, do you really think anyone could swing around a humongous axe with proper efficiency while a 10-foot long polearm is strapped to his back? Perhaps using the polearm while the enormous axe is strapped to the back is more believable but not by much. I'm all for fantastic stuff and all but what you seem to want to do defies my sense of practicality. Here's the rule: You may carry a maximum one two-handed weapon (strapped to the back) and two one-handed weapons (one at either side). Anything more and you are considered to be at a heavy load because of cumbersome balance. I'm willing to forgo my common sense that tells me strapping a polearm to your back would rarely ever be practical. But carrying around more than one two-handed weapon is a bit beyond what I consider acceptable. You can strap as many extra weapons as you want to a mule or something, but there has to be a practical limit to the size of the weapons relative to the wielder. Edit: And just to clarify, I don't have a problem with the Weapon Master's Strike power. I only take issue with any character being able to carry two weapons that are both probably as long as he is tall if not longer without being encumbered somehow. [/QUOTE]
