[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9865603, member: 93670"] the bloodsport video was linked more to show an example of stupid weapon switching since that was pretty much being done constantly though that movie. I considered linking up like the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Y7J3vIiskEE']~10 minute equilibrium final fight clip[/URL] a dagger scene from shadow & bone that I couldn't find & others that didn't come to mind with a movie name. They look cool on screen, but none of them really work in ttrpg play at the table because it turns into the kind of mindnumbing slog described in 101. Creating "transforming weapons" Wouldn't really solve anything unless the weapon comes with rules that fix the problem created by the missing rules creating the weapon juggling slog. Even if the transforming weapon did fix the rule players would simply ignore it & continue with what the rules guarantee them the option of doing unless the creating was even better. Making it better is a pretty tough sell though given that the default rules don't present any difficulties carrying a golf bag of weapons & swapping between them has zero impact on action economy or anything else that the new creation could hypothetically reduce. That brings it down to making itso much [I]more[/I] powerful that players choose it simply because it is a nobrainer nonchoice [/QUOTE]
