The only ones he regularly uses, however, are the Tralian Hammer, bow, Sarishan Steel longsword, and Greater masterwork gladius.Of course, adding ordinary "club, greatclub, and quarterstaff" to all those lists as appropriate whenever Spikes becomes available is a given. So, golfbags galore here.As to the claim that lowered DR values mean that fighters don't have to carry multiple weapons, that's true about some kinds of fighters but not others. What it really means is that fighter/barbarians who max strength, use two handed weapons, and power attack a lot anyway don't have to carry multiple weapons. Any other kind of fighter still does. Two weapon fighting characters, characters who use one-handed weapons and shields, and especially any kind of finesse fighter does need multiple weapons to be effective.</blockquote>
