In the context of 4e-like games where I would probably apply such a rule its easy enough to simply write exceptions in the mechanics of individual powers. Basically if you naively bring your dagger to a fight with a bunch of plate-clad knights you're just screwed. I would suggest that in systems like this where choice of weapon could have a huge impact on your effectiveness that the game be geared towards facilitating characters ability to handle more than one type of weapon effectively. A lot of D&D doesn't care too much what weapon you use as a fighter, but all of them harshly punish most weapon choices for other classes. I think in general rogues are the MAIN issue, since they fight with weapons exclusively, generally use the smaller damage ones and get punished for using anything else. Writing in a 'back stab exception' for them seems like it would go a long ways.</p></blockquote><p></p>
