[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7047256, member: 6689161"] I like things that are well represented in swords and sorcery by default. Note there is no katana but we can "make" it by renaming something we find on the weapons list. Likewise, monk weapons. What is a bit odd to me is someone going with a rapier but being decked out to fight knights otherwise. It seems anachronistic to the point of distraction for me. Firearms leave me cold as well. This is merely personal taste. I want heads to roll, mead to quaff and so forth. I am not against someone playing a swashbuckler in their campaign, or a Samurai or whatever. Variety keeps the game alive. I just don't want your chocolate in my peanut butter. Well, maybe it would actually taste good. Hell, I don't know. I merely dislike the weapon (rapier) being taken due to its advantages despite incongruent/anachronistic imagery with most characters in setting I am familiar with. Its just taste. But if we pull at the thread to hard I might see my beloved greatsword stripped from the game. What time frame are we pretending to be in anyway? In my magic tea party with fairies and talking bears, we use big tough weapons or daggers. We throw our bones on the floor for the dogs running around the hall while we are eating. We crush helmets with maces. We don't do a lot of fencing. But I respect other people's fundamental right to do so! But I still say blech [/QUOTE]
