[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6789300, member: 82779"] Wrong question. The ogre comes later, after the adventuring career has begun. The character learns about weapons and practices with them repeatedly as she develops her proficiency. By the time the character is undertaking an adventuring career, she should have been sparring with someone with different weapons enough to negate the disadvantage that comes from being born without weapon proficiencies. And, all that assumes that other factors relevant to the real world aren't considered in the damage die type. I mentioned before that in the real world the reach difference between a dagger and a rapier is a very real factor, but it's overlooked in D&D. What if that's not overlooked? What if that superior reach is actually reflected in the larger die type? If that superior reach is reflected in the larger die type then die type becomes an even more easily observable and pertinent factor when making in-game decisions about what weapons to use. [/QUOTE]
