[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7155543, member: 12731"] No worries, I got the joke. At least now we can emulate the same weapon distribution as in d20. It should really help some underutilized 5e weapons. Take the longsword for instance. In 5e it's not widely used because Strength builds go two-handed (and then there's better weapons for them) and Dexterity builds can't use 'em. And there really isn't feat support for the "versatile build" where leaving one hand free brings something unique to the table for Strength builds. But if you assume every fifth magic weapon you find is a Longsword, and you might *never* find a magical Greataxe or Hand Crossbow, this should help nuancing your build options... (I am fully aware of the "give them what they're using" school of thought. I'm presenting an alternative school here, for those wanting Longswords to gain back an edge.)
