[QUOTE="Felnar, post: 3861832, member: 30971"] He did address that, in the second to last paragraph ("Finally, you could"). He presents it as a combat option that does not require a feat. If your goal isnt weapon speed simulation, and is actually to buff light/onehanded weapons you should look for the threads on balancing 2handedweapons with sword&shield and twoweaponfighting OR have more grappling in your game (shortsword can be used in a grapple) greater reach does not equal slow and heavy (e.g. the spear, the staff, some polearms) thrusting/skewer-type weapons generally still prevent opponents from closing-in after a miss (will each weapon get a "recovery speed" mechanic to show this?) You state what you think weapon speed should affect, but what should affect weapon speed? If I put on gauntlets of ogre strength, does my greataxe become as fast as your dagger? Is a halfling dagger faster than a human dagger? Is mithral faster because it weighs less? If i use a warhammer and a dagger, how many iterative attacks will i get? Whats the weapon speed of a Dwarven Urgrosh? A very realistic weapon and armor simulation would be cool, if you could find a way around all the complexity/slowdown it brings with it. [/QUOTE]
