A +1 lesser multiweapon longsword can become a +1 shortsword when I need a light weapon (if someone grapples me, for instance) or a +1 glaive when I need reach (but only as a move-equivalent action, which might be dicey), and if I have Weapon Focus or other, weapon-specific feats with a melee wepaon, I can probably always use them. Would I rather have that versatility, or a +1 flaming longsword (assuming all of my weapon-specific feats were with the longsword) and carry a masterwork shortsword and glaive for those special situations? I think that's a tough call -- in any case, I'd be using the longsword much more frequently than the backup weapons, and the extra damage would be nice, but the ease of switching that the multiweapon would provide would be helpful. So I think +1 is about right.As for the greater version? That's some impressive versatility. But still, ask yourself: would my fighter be better off with any +1 weapon he wanted, whenever he wanted, acquired instantly, or a nice +1 holy greatsword? Also a tough call, I think, and so also more or less appropriate.Oh, and if I had Arms and Armor, I'd have noted it. But my time and money is pretty limited, and I only pay attention to the Wizards books (and not all of those).</blockquote>
