[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 370921, member: 4134"] Who would do that? And how would he expain it: "As you want to touch that orc double axe, which is used by your human friend, your half-orc gets joltet by electrical energy from out of the weapon handle until he drops the weapon." ? This is a D&D 3e forum, not one for AD&D 2e, where such curiousities were commonplace. Noone wants to deny half-orcs the use of those weapons. They just don't get proficient with it. And anyone explaining to me that using an axe is in a dwarf's blood better bring a genetics expert along which can explain me that. Most dwarves may use an axe, but then, most dwarves are fighters. The other ones, other than paladins ("crusaders"), barbarians ("battleragers") and rangers ("cavers"), aren't necessarily trained in the use of any axe (unless the're war priests of clangeddin or spend a feat. Or multiclass as fighters, which is always an option with your average Johhny Dwarf). Elves, on the other hand, have so much time before they're old enough to go on adventures that they don't know what to do with it, so they spend some years training with bows and swords, or sparring just for fun (should be as popular with elves as rock hurling is with halflings). After all, even in a 1000-elves-settlement, the elven lad will spend no more than 20 years until he knows all the lasses inside-out :cool: [/QUOTE]
