So the axe fighter would not be penalized to use the magic longsword instead of using his trusted axe. So if the story would call for it, he could use the longsword (the mighter "Foehammer"!) to unite a kingdom and still be viable.He would just not be as optimized as if he would be if he would use a +2 axe. Optimization is not everything, especially with bounded accuracy.Still viable, not optimized, but definitely not penalized.-YRUSirius</blockquote>
