Guess I've been pushing the weapon equivalency system a bit too far this time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />, but hey, this is the whole point about these PCs: showing some interesting ability combos without been broken or illegal. Beside, it's a real blast for me to cook up these characters. (Hmm... how am I going to surprise my players in my next game ?)For the rest: Well, this is something you might want to keep your eyes peeled for, Blackdirge: ever since Complete Adventurer came out with its weapon equivalency system, players and DMs alike have been trying to take a weapon and to treat it like another weaker weapon, all a logical way. We can't really blame them, because subsequent books used that system as well, like Races of the Wild and Races of Eberron.Technically speaking, it's possible to find a equivalent weapon for most of your PrCs Blackdirge:- Arbalestier: great crossbow [optional] (Races of Stone)- Shatterskull Adept: warmace [confirmed] (Complete Warrior)- Peltast: peltast javelin [optional] (Blackdirge's Master of Arm: Peltast) / spinning javelin [optional] (Arm & Equipment Guide)- Hoplite: ripper [optional] (Planar Handbook) / crossbow sword bayonet [confirmed] (Complete Scoundrel)- Halberdier: heavy poleaxe [confirmed] (Complete Warrior)- Pikeman: greatspear [confirmed] (Complete Warrior)- Crimson Cleaver: longaxe [confirmed] (Complete Adventurer)- Cudgel Thug: shillelagh [optional] (Blackdirge's Master of Arm: Cudgel Thug) / tigerskull club [optional] (Frostburn)- Spear Sentinel: none so far for the ranseur- Knight of Staves: longstaff [confirmed] (Complete Adventurer)- Crimson Pugilist: none so far for the spiked gauntlet... except a battlefist (Eberron Campaign Setting)- Nimbleknife: drow long knife [confirmed] (Races of Eberron)- Curse Slinger: dire sling [optional] (Races of the Wild)- Legionnaire: broad-blade short sword [confirmed] (Complete Adventurer) / elven light blade [confirmed] (Races of the Wild)- Falchioneer: great falchion [optional] (Sandstorm)- Shieldbearer: gauntlet shield [optional] (Races of Stone)- Escrimeur: elven light blade [confirmed] (Races of the Wild) / elven thin blade [confirmed] (Races of the Wild) / elven court blade [optional as estoc] (Races of the Wild)- Axe Reaver: none so far for the battleaxeand the list goes on:- great scimitar from Sandstorm as scimitar [optional]- drow scorpion chain from Races of Eberron as spiked chain [confirmed]- greatbow from Complete Warrior as longbow [confirmed]- whip-dagger from Arm & Equipment Guide as whip [confirmed]- etc...See where I'm getting at ? This is a powerful, yet legal way to build a powerhouse, and that's basically what I'm using to build these characters. So be on the lookout when DMing... or feel free to use this at your advantage.Thanks for your comment BD.</blockquote>
