For example I think the Great Axe/Maul/Great Sword debate is fine. It's a marginal. If players find Great Axes to be an inferior choice its not by much.The Great Club/Quarterstaff (unless I am missing something) I dont understand it. Maybe the crit damage is missing component, the Great Club does a +d8 while the staff does +d6? You can make a lighter weapon deal the same damage as the other weapon + use it in one hand with a shield if you want to for only 1 gp more. ??Unless the designers are trying to say ... hey Great Club users you really only use great clubs at the start of the game, and you should be using the more powerful martial weapons or they are for monsters. We know druids and Wizards use Staves so they're balanced for those players. IF that is the intention that Great Clubs are meant to be an inferior choice then I suppose it is working as intended.But, I wouldn't tell a player using a great club ... why are you using that? are you stupid?! He might like the idea of a giant tree branch kicking ass.</blockquote>
