[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8680067, member: 82106"] I just personally think the current rules split hairs too much. Daggers have a distinct use. One-handed swords have a distinct use, bastard-swords have a distinct use, and true two-handers have a distinct use. You can find descriptions of distinct fighting styles for each of these classes of weapon. In terms of basically straight bladed swords the above is really it, and that leads to a nice breakdown where each one gets a different sized damage die, and some unique properties. Obviously you can invent more slight variations of weapon stats than this, but do they actually add anything material to play? I'd say its more the opposite when you consider each one has a proficiency, etc. I mean, in terms of actual existing 5e D&D, there's really no point to messing with what is there now, it is somewhat annoyingly inaccurate and a little silly, but its a fantasy game, so whatever.
