You are right that it is only my own view on things that I would consider a character based on a single weapon to be a strange way to play, but that it is a perfectly legit way to structure a PC.On the other hand, if the PC is so built up around a certain weapon, then it should not be a necessity to get a magical weapon. So the PC with the Axe specialization finding a magical Sword in stead, would either:- trade the sword at earliest opportunity but fight with it in the meantime cuz its magical- trade the sword at earliest opportunity but fight with the axe in the meantime cuz that is the way he likes to fight.The problem I had is that a character who wants to play a certain way must be flexible one way or the other:Either you play the axe-guy and then the sword is 'useless'Or your thirst for a magic weapon is so big, then you need to let go off the Axe specialty.As DM I would be irritated by a player who wants to have it both ways, and is disappointed by finding a magical sword complaining 'its useless to me', 'you must give me something I like, why don't you let me buy it'.On the other hand, there would IMHO never be anything wrong with the comissioning of a special weapon, tailormade to the precise wishes of the PC. Simply do not expect to carry only cash to that deal, the maker will want to see a 'fair trade'; i.e. magic for magic. But that is only the way _I_ would want to play it.So again, sorry if I did not explain my gripe of inflexibility enuff, I was not trying to flame the choice of playing a weaponsmaster in and of itself, merely the way that someone would then expect to be treated, i.e. demanding to have instant access to the type of _magical_ weapon you happen to be specialized in...</blockquote>
