(Though I as a player think it is hilarious!  In any event, the weapon isn't that important and isn't even necessary.  If the mini has a weapon, I would actually prefer to have it sheathed.  Stephen just does not charge forth into combat.When he is in a non-combat situation (being a bard, he tries to do that a lot), he often has a lute, or a lap harp with him.  However, he is an excellent singer as well, so an instrument isn't a requirement either.  Ancillary equipment would include a cloak (yes, of Charisma), and he has a magical torc and bracers.  Does anyone have any suggestions on a mini that works?  Am I just not finding the right place to look?</blockquote>
