The weapon list is really much smaller than it looks. Weapon Mastery helps theoretically, but I think as people gain experience Weapon Mastery will just narrow the list even further. People will just always select Short Sword or always select Scimitar when Vex or Nick proves to be better, etc.It's kind of like point buy in 5e D&D. Theoretically, you have dozens of potential arrays. In practice, there's like 3 that are most common, and 2 more that are rarely useful, and the rest are redundant. They really could replace the whole point buy system with "pick one of these 5 arrays" and it would cover the whole game with no illusionary complexity.I genuinely think the kit system is just a better design overall. I don't care what you want to say your heavy armor is or looks like. I don't care if you're using a longbow or a crossbow. I don't want to futz around with whatever simulation details there are, especially when the simulation includes anachronisms and hallucinations like studded leather armor or ring mail.</blockquote>
