[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7451018, member: 20564"] Actually, I noticed nothing of the sort. I noticed that the OP reduced all weapons [I]mechanics[/I] to their mechanics. I don't see anywhere where they also said that all fluff must change and that weapons couldn't or shouldn't be described. Since they call out specific weapons by name that are changed by this, I fully believe that the original poster still expected weapons to be able to be named and described in-world. Thankfully it decreases it. Right now there are a few "best" weapons, and any character that wants something else because it fits their theme has to eitehr compromise on their flavor or on their efficiency. Being able to describe this martial medium weapon as an arming sword, and this martial medium weapon as a tribal weapon of a stick with shark-teeth making up an edge, and this martial medium weapon as a dwarven waraxe - having that freedom to have the right narrative weapon fo my character and have the rules support (and not penalize for not picking "the best") is a huge advantage.
