Speculation on Weapons

[Kaffis]

Also, the way that proficiency bonuses are allocated seem to show that the optimal weapon choice for a non-skilled combatant is to grab the biggest, heaviest thing he can hold and start swinging, and that works for me.

Hrm. Interesting observation, and I like it.

Ditto the above on "daggers are, by their weight and balance, less cumbersome even to the trained" remarks, as well.

I certainly like the proficiency bonuses as means of making smaller weapons attractive and viable, especially in light of seeing all the powers defined with [W] damage.
