[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7778905, member: 6802951"] I think that they were attempting to imply that in a world with magically enhanced creatures and objects like Dragons, Monks, Bracers of Armour etc, mundane, non-magical creatures and equipment would not behave as they do in our world. Only 3 of the top 10 equipped weapons are Dex Based. Does anyone know what they mean by "Equipped"? Does it mean that it just has the stats on the character sheet and that the character is carrying them, or does it mean that the character is actively wielding it, and would have to start spending actions to swap to a different weapon? I mean almost all characters carry at least one dagger as a backup weapon and tool. They work just fine for both Str- and dex-based characters, and are a handy ranged option. And a lot of character classes start with daggers as part of their beginning equipment. It doesn't mean that most characters would be using a dagger over their primary weapon, just that most characters have one on their person somewhere. As has been pointed out, I think that the preponderance of characters generated at level 1 and possibly never played might be emphasising the weapons and armour found in the starting equipment of classes.
