[QUOTE="Telor, post: 40538, member: 1786"] I have a new player (to DnD) sitting at my table this Sunday. Last week when he was explaining his character to me he said that he wanted his character to, "be the big guy, that walks into a room and everyone stares at him." After coming up with a solid background (he decided to be Earh Genasi) he explained, "he should have a huge warhammer. some massive 2 handed thing." I had boasted that 2nd ed had a lot of "you can't" and 3rd ed has a lot of "sure, you can do that (with a cost)." Help me keep my word :) I decided to make an exotic weapon called a Greathammer that is completely identical to a Greataxe except that it does bludgeoning damage. I stopped by my local comic book store (woohoo Comic Swap) and checked out Arms and Armor; it had lots of cool stuff and lots of crap but nothing that resembled what we had in mind. (It did have some kinda Ogre Club or whatever but that wasn't quite right.) I checked out S&F and it had some okay stuff but once again nothing close to my Greathammer idea. I'm doubting myself and the idea, thinking there has to be a reason a greathammer idea isn't on paper anywhere. Another thing I thought before I began to doubt this whole idea: If he's spending an exotic weapon proficiency feat for this thing, shouldn't it be a bit better than a Greataxe? Thank you for your time and any advice, Telor [/QUOTE]
