Message: <blockquote data-quote="Xerxal" data-source="post: 206612" data-attributes="member: 4771">Last night, as I figured up the damage potential of my new orc double axe wielding dwarven fighter, I noticed something I found pretty distressing.  I realized that two battleaxes would perform the exact same task, while saving me 40 gp, and an all-precious feat that would be wasted on exotic weapons.  Additionally, I saw that if I were to spend a feat on an exotic weaon, two dwarven waraxes would give me a pair of d10s of damage instead of the d8s on the double axe, for the exact same price in gp.It's the exact same way with two-bladed swords, longswords, and bastard swords; as well as the dire flail and the light flail.I assume that I'm not the first person to notice this problem, so I suppose that I'm asking if there is anything about double weapons that I'm just not seeing.  I'd rather not insult WotC's intelligence by assuming that they would add a new type of weapon to 3E, only for it to be ten-times crappier than the other, simpler items.</blockquote>
