Choose Your Favorite Weapon

hahaha I am with sixchan... I like the katana. In my opinion a very elegant weapon... for a more civilized age.

If I am playing just standard D&D (no exotic weapons or asian themes), I like the broad or bastard sword, followed by the staff.

 

[Nightfall]

Battle-axe! Or axe in general. (Screams like a madman the unholy names of Vangal! )

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Scythe. Only 2d4 damage, but a x4 crit multiplier with keen edge and Improved Critical makes all the difference. Just gotta add Monkey Grip and a 2nd scythe and you're all set.

See, everyone? I told you so!

Scythe-wielders of the world, unite!

Rapier, easily. Nothing says "deadly" like a flash of finesse.

 

[Jeph]

Monofilament razor wire. Or the katana. Can't beat a katana, expecially in d20 Modern . . . except maybe with monofilament razor wire.

Gotta go with either the bastard sword or long sword. Simple and effiecent eligance of a good long sword{in the historical sense} or an old Celtic or migration period blade is just too good to pass up.

Scythes, all the way. They're good for all occasions. From the common farmer who decides to stop cutting wheat and start cutting heads, to the angsty necromancer who contemplates death, to the madman who contemplates becoming Death, the scythe adds more flavor than most weapons. Plus, they deal good damage and have a x4 crit. Of course, that could just be the munchkin in me talking

Demiurge out.

Mwa ha ha!

Yes, yes! Our ranks our growing!

Beware, the scythe-wielders are coming!!!

Well I guess I have to go with the dagger... It is small, ligha, easy to conceal, easy to use, throwable, can be sharpened enough to go through the links in chainmail or be strong and pointed enough to punch through plate.

But I'm also biased because of my like for the Dune books...
Other than that my favorite melee weapon has to be a Lightning Claw with a built in Combi-bolter
