[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9207673, member: 6795602"] All any martial PC needs to effectively use their abilities is a non-magical weapon of the type they specialized into. If they encounter an enemy that requires a magical weapon to bypass then they need a magical weapon for that as well (at least at some point), but It doesn't even have to be the one they specialized into. It can be a measly +1 dagger. Your specialized weapon doesn't have to apply to every round of every combat ever. What you are looking for isn't simply for them to use their abilities effectively - it's quite a bit more than that. IMO. Catering = feeling the need to place specific types of stronger magical weapons for a particular player because they won't enjoy the game if you don't. I mean what's the difference in kind between someone telling the DM i won't enjoy the game if I don't get a flametongue shortsword @ level 1 and someone saying they won't enjoy the game if their Crossbow Expert, Sharpshooter Fighter doesn't find a strong magical hand crossbow. I think it's a difference of degree - but not kind. [/QUOTE]
