Limit Break Dancing (He/They)
I changed the damage from 1d8 to 1d6. It's only a difference of 1 point, on average, but you would think they are all suddenly radioactive judging by how fiercely the players avoid it. "Only one dee six damage?! HISSSSSS!!!"I love swashbuckling characters, I do. But there should not be one best weapon in the game for a huge swath of characters. But right now, there is: the rapier.

What do you think? Is this a problem in your game? Have you attempted to fix it in some fashion?
Then, just for the swashbucklers in my game, I added in a new weapon called the Cutlass. It's mechanically identical to a shortsword, but I don't think anyone has noticed yet. They're still too busy grumbling about the rapier, and trying to decide how many pistols they can afford.
