Choose Your Favorite Weapon

Rapier here

Bows are the only weapon in which you can double enchant them (bow and arrows). So if you have the spell, you can spend two rounds (surprise and round 1) to buff your character up.

My cleric works really closely with the ranger in our group. At the beginning of the day, I give him GMW on the bow. Right before each battle, I give him Magic weapon- and he has a +4 to his attack and damage. And with rapid shot and his high BAB, he gets like 3 shots a round- he has something like a +18 at lvl 8. He deals most of the damage- and i spend the entire combat just healing people...

how could you have forgotten AXES on your list?

just like some people IRL collect swords, i collect battle axes. luckily, because most people prefer swords, axes are usually a lot cheaper.

(and yes, i do like playing dwarf PCs.)

Just give me a rapier, or a dagger if I'm playing a halfling

 

[Hand of Evil]

Nukes...

In game I like the old Long Sword but in real life I find a curved blade feels better, fits my movements and balance better.

I could have sworn I put Axes on there...
Next time, I'll do a much more extensive list.

I have to admit that lately I've been interested in light hammers. Yeah, they only do 1d4, but they've got a 20' range increment, which is far enough for many combats, and they do well when backed by some strength. A dwarf fighter wielding two of them, perhaps with the Tempest prestige class later on, would be my choice for the time being.

Thundering returning hammers would rock.
