[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 9355183, member: 4937"] True, swords always had an advantage in terms of random generated treasure and I did like the random treasure tables. But, for NPCs I applied the rules in the appendix for generating PC and NPC parties of higher than first level. Those rules implied an NPC fighter had a chance per level of experience of having a +1 bonus on the weapon he was carrying. So if there was an evil warlord in the dungeon that I thought would be cool to have a halberd or a morningstar then I either rolled for it or just assigned an appropriately plussed weapon. And that doesn't get into the fact that random generation and treasure types don't really apply technically to placed treasure in dungeons, just to random encounters. So I was perfectly free to put a footman's flail +2/+4 versus shapechangers in a dungeon just because I wanted to, even if such a weapon couldn't be generated by a random table. [/QUOTE]
