D&D 3E/3.5 Will 3E exotic weapons appear in 4E?

I'm hoping "Exotic" is changed to "Expert" or something similar. Exotic weapons are really statistically better weapons with the requirement of specialization. That's fine by me, as long as they actually are statistically better for the feat spent.

I've removed all the weapons that are really Martial weapons and unfortunately stuck in the Exotic category. Instead, they should be in a "Cultural" category for folks to learn some other route. Eastern weapons aren't that different from Western, but proficiency belongs in Simple/Martial categories when the statistical bonuses aren't actually beneficial.

Exotic weapons should get even crazier! I want chain saw nunchaku, and dual-wielding cabers! .... I'm going to go take my medication now....

I still like the suggestion of using this as a gnome hooked hammer since it's both a weapon and a tool, which makes a lot more sense than the default one.


I think the more out-there exotics might be best served up in a culture/race/class splatbook.

: )

I was sooo hoping you were going to post that hehe

There are 4 swords in this image, I think the third larger might be the Bastard Sword.
If it's going to be considered an "exotic" weapon in 4E, dunno.

Apparently the 4e weapons will be designed by wigged-out art-deco dwarves.

From what I've gathered, the difference in weapons will be more what talents/maneuvers you can take for them, rather than the stats of the weapons themselves. As long as spears stop sucking, I'll be happy.

That pick on the right sure looks like a tool, more than a weapon.

It looks like an oversized mountain climbing tool.

Why, one might even say it's a hammer with a hook at the opposite end.

These are dwarven versions of weapons. I can't wait to see same picture for tiefling weapons.
