In that series all the elves use these long, thin blades. Why don't you have the same complaint about the Dwarven Waraxe, which is a racially-inspired exotic weapon? Why don't you have the same complaint about the Halfling Skiprock, which is a racially inspired bizarre weapon? Why don't you have the same complaint about the Orc Double-axe, which is a racially-inspired double weapon? (Of course, they've got the inspiration wrong, since the only place we've seen it used is The Mummy Returns by the Anubis Warriors. Perhaps you'd like to complain that it's not named the Anubis Double-axe?)  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> They did. It's called a bastard sword. How many dwarves, elves or gnomes do you see weilding a bastard sword? They just didn't call it the "human bastard sword."Look, it's your game. If you don't like it, don't use it. Or better yet, remove the racial nomenclature and just go ahead and use it anyway.Now, to drag this back vaguely on-topic, my complaint is that the elven thinblade didn't make it into Races of Faerun, but the Halfling Skiprock did. I think the Elven Thinblade would make a great addition to the Forgotten Realms, and I'd like to see it get printed up somewhere other than a Dragon Magazine.</blockquote>
