Any idiot can use a spear with its one uncomplicated point. It takes a true master of weapons to marshal the mighty forces of the three-tipped trident, I tell you. And what bronzed bare-chested demigod would be content with a mere footman's spear to have at hydras and chimeras fierce? Nay, for such as they only tridents shall do.Obviously, the whip is to inform impertinent louts of your displeasure whilst remaining outside the extent of even the most pernicious of body odors.One would do well to consider the use of the net, which is to restrain. In this, amongst all the weapon it is unique. Why with such a wondrous device one could catch up all manner of persnickety villains and rogues. Those of a flying or elusive nature could be brought low with but a single blow. And should they prove mighty enough to escape quickly you should count it as a respite, however brief. Truly, this is a weapon that has proven its net worth...Finally, we come to the blowgun which you would sully and cast down amongst the simple weapons. Would you deny it its exotic mystique? Would you belie the skill needed to send a smallish dart some one hundred feet in a strong cross wind to perchance find its mark between the armored plates of a dwarf in full bluster? I think not. Only the most skilled and clever of warriors, or perhaps those to whom it is an indigenous contrivance, would make good sport of it.</blockquote>
