I think it's pretty reasonable for most people who utilize weapons to have a "last chance" weapon on their person. It could be as simple as a knife or a handaxe, a smaller blade, etc. By the time your characters have a +6 weapon, they and their party should have enough abilities to mitigate the loss of such a weapon for a few rounds.Also, I don't believe that combat should be as dummied down as humanly possible. I've seen complaints about stun, or monster marking... I mean... why have conditions at all? I don't mean to be smarmy, but there comes to a certain point where you have to make a decision about how simple you want your combat to be. And personal combat, in any speculative media you want to look to, is never so cookie-cutter. I'm hardly a simulationist, but I do believe we've come a long ways from the days of "I stand there and swing my sword at him. Do I hit?" Every combat needs a little spice; a little flavor. Just because something is simpler to resolve does make automatically make it preferable.</blockquote>
