[QUOTE="Nyaricus, post: 2597989, member: 35678"] could you explain this mechanic a little bit more, i am interested :D other than that, yeah, i like the idea of Regional Profs too. The main problem people would have is they would say it isnt fair (ie you want to play someone from a middle-east country, and you want to use a bastard sword > it doesnt fit, but they want the best 1-H damage possible). The honest-to-goodness way to solve this problem? tell em to suck it up. Most people dont get it that not all things are created equally > arms and armour development vary greatly in comparison to European developments, and again if you compare that to Asian development, and again if you compare that to . . . .etc. In a game like D&D, there are better choices for some things. BUT, they dont all suit the game when flavour is concerned. When was the last time you saw an honest-to-goodness pally play with a longsword instead of a bastard sword? if they were roleplaying well, maybe not that often; if they were a power-gamer, VERY often. It's a fact of number crunching, and as it stands, there is no mechanic that allows for this to change.
