Most Popular/Favorite/Most used Sword

[MythandLore]

Everyone is doing it. I might as well ask.
So... What's your gaming group's/your most popular/favorite/most used SWORD???

It's a bit hard to say. Anything except rapiers, really.

 

[Altalazar]

I have played mostly Rogues - a Vanara and a gnome - short swords for both, though the Vanara mostly just threw things.

I just made my first fighter, and he is going to use a big-ass Greatsword - while running screaming into combat. He's LG, destroyer of evil.

 

[Turlogh]

I generally use great swords or long swords (when i don't use some type or axe)

 

[Hand of Evil]

Everyone uses long swords but I think in my next game I will regionalize weapons and see what happens.

 

[Lord Pendragon]

Hard to say, really. I currently play two PCs, one who uses a katana, the other twinned short swords. In the same campaign there's a longsword-wielding barbarian, a rapier-using ranger, and a gnome druid with a scimitar.

I voted katana 'cause I've used one in another campaign (Shadowrun) as well, but really our group ranges all across the board...

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

I votet Bastard Sword since most of my Fighters used it, but probably all of my next fighters will choose other weapons (like Flails, Spiked Chains and perhaps some Axes - or Short Sword and Lance?)...

Depends on the character...

Really. Smaller characters will use what's appropriate, Rogues will use what's appropriate, as will larger characters. I don't think anyone's used a Greatsword in the games yet (even though my character has one, he prefers a long sword and rapier, dual-weilded).

My personal preferences run towards the long sword, rapier, and scimitar, with a love and appreciation for the naginata that is everlasting.

Although I do have an urge to do a short sword/small shield combo for my next character, a la Sophita from Soul Calibur...

I'm partial to scimitars myself, they're just so darn...elegant. Actually I think it stems from my like of oriental weapons (esp. Chinese), the scimitar and the Chinese Dao (broadsword/sabre) are very similiar. I also like rapiers (or at least their stats) for Jiann (Tai-chi sword); again a very elegant weapon. I go more for the look of the weapon.

To piggyback on Ashtal's post, I so want one of my characters to have the Snake Sword from Soul Caliber.

 

[NiTessine]

In my campaign, the only swords in the party are the elf wizard's rapier and the elf druid's scimitar. Last time I played a character in a tabletop game, he was a swashbuckler type with a rapier. In the MUD I play, my half-elf fighter wields a longsword and my bard a scimitar.
Finally, in the OA game I'll be joining soon, my shugenja has a wakizashi.
