Weapons #1 – an overview of questions in terms of balancing the use of “realistic” mechanics with the desire to keep the game fun and simple - YouTube - D&D Weapons - #1 - an overview
Weapons #3 - A look at how AD&D turned weapon proficiency into a complex system of specialization in weapons and fighting styles in 1.5e and 2nd edition - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSxMp2xxmfY
Weapons #5 - A look at how a more modern game (Pathfinder) handles weapons and proficiency, specialization, etc. Even "old school" gamers should give this a look just for comparison - YouTube - D&D Weapons #5 - Some (semi) - modern mechanics
[FONT="]Weapons #6 - Finally I compare some systems and answer a few questions I posed in the beginning of the series, specifically about what classes should be able to use what weapons, should the be proficient in them to start with, how should weapons prowess be differentiated by class, and is RC half damage or a penalty to hit a better mechanic when using a non proficient weapon? - YouTube - D&D Weapons #6 - Class weapons, proficiency, & penalties for non-proficient use[/FONT]

D&D - Two Weapon Fighting 2 of 3 - A mathematical analysis of the Damage per round and average chance to hit with two weapons vs using a single weapon in AD&D and Pathfinder, followed by some alternative 2 weapon fighting mechanics, to be continued in the final video by a system I've been working on based upon these ideas and the mathematical analysis. - YouTube - D&D - Two Weapon Fighting 2 of 3
