[QUOTE="LGodamus, post: 885183, member: 1039"] Well it came up from the fact that I wanted my tiefling rogue to dual wield scimitars , He focuses on social skills, but I didnt want to weild the stereotypical rapier.....but that isnt really a drizzt clone........ The A&EG has this huge list of weapons that are the same mechanics wise but different names and slight cosmetically from culture to culture and I noticed that it said a sabre is mechanically the same as a scimitar.. I am not toatally familiar with fencing but I do know that sabres are used in fencing and fencing isnt exactly a style that favors brawn over precision....Now yes I did think of drizzt at this point, but only cause he is a famous scimitar user, and he doesnt exactly use brute strength either........then I thought about most arabian heroes that used scimitars ...such as Sinbad ,and they didnt exactly strike me as the brawny type either. I couldnt think of one iconic scimitar user that wouldnt be a finesse type fighter......and I couldnt see that it would be game breaking to allow it to be finessable. [/QUOTE]
