[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 523470, member: 1134"] Man both sides of this argument seem to be just as misleading. No if you get in close to a greatsword wielder he doesn't all of sudden curl up in a ball and die. But no a greatsword wielder or any other big weapon wielder is not at their prime when someone gets in close. The advantages a polearm wielder has up close and personal are reduced signifigantly and the dagger wielder would be on much more even footing, and if he got in even closer many weapons are jsut too big to be used.(also the dagger wilder up close and perosnal probably could slash/stab more often with it than a greatsword wielder could pommel smash or whatever) Getting in close though would likely be a difficult proposition to say the least. Though if amored with lots o daggers you could effectivly throw them against lightly armored individuals. [/QUOTE]
