[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 6140671, member: 6685730"] When to use a dagger? 1) Daggers are easily concealed, making it easier to be armed in a combat-free zone. 2) Daggers are light. Rather than hump around two 8 pound longswords, why not just carry a dagger for backup? 3) Weapon focus. Modos allows bumping up the damage of your daggers with perks. 4) Daggers can be thrown effectively. Heavier weapons, not so much. Spartans: I'm thinking that a dagger is 1) in case you lose your big, heavy spear, and 2) a lot cheaper to make than enough swords for an entire army. Musashi and Kojiro: if they're as old as the Spartans, their story has probably lost some accuracy in translation. Even if they're not, there could have been some creative license involved. If THAT wasn't the case, let's consider that a master swordsman probably spends all his time fighting against other swordsmen, so it might be easier to catch him off-guard with a non-sword. How does Modos explain Musashi and Kojiro? Simple. Musashi used all his hero points on a successful hit. Red herrings: You keep saying that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
