Message: <blockquote data-quote="DanMcS" data-source="post: 1796757" data-attributes="member: 6530">ExamplesWeapons in this method become simpler descriptors- a sword is a slashing, one-handed weapon.  A magical spear is a +2 piercing weapon.Jackie Chan, in any number of movies where he plays himself, picks up a ladder.  He has Improved Weapon Proficiency, and so can apply up to three qualities.  The DM says he can use it as a blunt double weapon, but neither end is light, so he's at -4/-4 if he has TWF.Jackie starts at 2d6/2d6 20/x3.  He applies the defensive quality and the tripping quality, but drops the crit modifier, sending him to 1d8/1d8 20/x2, and proceeds to go to town on the mooks surrounding him with their silly broom handles.---Li Mu Bai is fighting bandits near the Wudan temple.  He has Greater Weapon Proficiency, and is generally badass.  Green Destiny is a +3 slashing sword.Master Li starts with 3d6 19-20/x2.  There are a lot of bandits, but they're not too tough, so he uses his weapon with a parrying, penetrating grip, ending up with a 1d8 19-20/x2 weapon.  The bandits' low-quality armor will not protect them from his technique, and they find themselves unable to hit him, so after he kills a few, they run off.He tires of all the killing, and goes to give the sword away.  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon happens, and Zhang Ziyi has taken the sword.  She has Improved Weapon Proficiency, and attacks Master Li.  She is finessing the sword, so it is a 1d8 20/x3 weapon.Master Li is not impressed by her technique.  He picks up a stick, a medium blunt weapon.  He still has GWP, so he uses the stick as a disarming, finessable, fast, parrying weapon.  This drops the stick to 1d6 20/x2, but he's not trying to hurt her.  He bats aside her clumsy cuts, unleases a flurry of tap-tap-tap with the stick, and lands Green Destiny back in his hands where it belongs.Jade Fox faces him down at the end.  She has that wierd needle-shooting gun thing.  It is obviously ranged, and she has greater weapon proficiency, so it does 3d6 20/x3 damage on a hit.  She doesn't care about that though, really, because she has a wicked Con-damage poison to use, but at least we don't have to worry about statting that whacky thing out.---William Wallace, in Braveheart, is fighting english soldiers in his village.  He has Weapon Proficiency at this point, but no weapons.  He grabs a stone, and uses it as a 2d6 20/x2 weapon to crush a guard and take his uniform and sword.  He later uses a threshing flail, a deer antler, a sledgehammer, and various actual weapons, and is effective with all of them, because it is the man that fights, not the weapon.In one scene, he kills a man with a sword; he spots another man running towards him, so he quick-changes his grip on the sword to get ready to throw it; it drops to 1d6 19-20/x2, but gains a range increment of 20'.  He wings it at the charging soldier, who dies spectacularly; must have been a crit.---Nameless, in Hero, is fighting Sky.  He is a weapon master, and has perfected the unblockable attack (probably a whole different feat chain).  His sword is slashing or piercing, and he uses it as a finessable, parrying, knockback, touch weapon.  Spoiler: [spoiler]He only wants to touch Sky with the blade, not kill him; he unleashes his attack, Sky voluntarily fails his save versus the knockback, and lays there pretending to be dying.[/spoiler]Flying Snow, when fighting, demonstrates that she is equally effective with blade or the hem of her skirt.  She is a weapon master as well, and will do 4d6 damage with either if she hits.</blockquote>
