D&D (2024) Longsword finesse when used 2H

[Bill Zebub]

Longsword 2H Finesse is something I would be okay bring a super ultra specific feat. Like Complete warrior Styles


Anger of the Wurm: Warhammer and Warpick TWF
Dragon Horn: Greatsword and Dagger TWF
???? Longsword 2H Finesse
Griffin Roar: Greataxe 1H and Shield
Manticore Tail: Flail Reach

Why would anybody ever spend a feat to do less damage?

Which one does less damage?

AofW lets you dual wield 1d8 weapons.
Dragonhorn lets you dual wield 2d6 and 1d4.
Griffin Roar lets you deal 1d12 one hand with a shield
Manticore Tail gives you a 1d8 one handed reach weapon.

This one.

No. Adds another column to the weapon table. One handed str, Two handed finese. 5E is suppose to be easy. But get rid of rapier and make longswords Fine mess and I will be happy with it.

 

[Laurefindel]

1d8 slashing, versatile (1d10, finesse)?

 

[Minigiant]

This one.

There aren't any 2 Handed finesse weapons.
So there is no where to lower your damage from.

 

[Clint_L]

Just make it a house rule.

I’ll start over.

Why would anybody who can dual wield short swords for 2d6 ever spend a feat to be able to do 1d10? Is there an example of another feat that is pure flavor?

 

[Clint_L]

Frankly, I think the rules should get rid of most weapon properties, including versatile. Make all that stuff flavour. The current weapon rules still add way too much complexity given the actual impact on the game, and are occasionally abusable (reach property, for example).

what complexity?

there are 6 properties to weapons.
Light, Heavy, Finesse, Thrown, Reach, Versatile(this is basically non property, so count it out) and Range

2 more if you want to add 1Handed and 2Handed as property. I wouldn't.

and some few odd weapons that have some Special property.
