What are your favorite weapons?

[Teflon Billy]

Short Sword and Dagger.

They are basically a badge saying " Please Underestimate Me"

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Well, I like smallish axes, any straight swords, basket-hilted swords, spears, and old pistols Over-under pistols are tres cool. A couple knives are good. I like TWF, and daggers often show up as off-hand weapons.

EDIT: And sticks. Just...sticks. Staves, warclubs, jo sticks, I don't care.

Q-staff is very cool I've always wanted to play a lightly armoured staff user.

My nickname might give you a hint about a two-handed weapon choice...

Glaive would be my favorite polearm, with spear a close second.

Dual short swords would be my favorite light weapon.

Dwarven Waraxe would be my favorite one handed weapon, with bastard sword a second place.

The composite longbow rules all other ranged weapons. Though the heavy crossbow has a nice flavor.

Glaive - with Kicking attacks if I can swindle it out of the DM.

I think that a glaive using fighter with unarmed "martial arts" skills would be very cool. Maybe using Hong's Martial Artist...

My current favourites? warhammer, falchion*, punching dagger, broadsword**

. . .
My top most favorite is someting I call "segmented sword", it is a flexible sections of interlocking blades with cord running throught the core. By shortening the cord the blades is stiffen, but it can also be used in manner similar to a whip, when not in use it can be cared as bandolier or belt. If you know a proper name for this please post it for me.

Ah hang on a sec, that sounds like something I saw on a PS2 (or it might have been Xbox) game, last year I think. I'm pretty sure it was a scantily-dressed woman wielding trhe weapon. (Surprised?)

Maybe it would've been a broadsword** / spiked chain. . . (?)


* I house rule falchions to be a bit more of an attractive option, as I found that players tended to sidestep them, previously.
** My own variant sword, though not an original name, obviously!

Both Soul Caliber II (the scantily clad woman) and Brotherhood of the Wolf (crazy nobleman) feature segmented swords. Yeah, they're not terribly plausible, but they're awesome.

Demiurge out.

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Wave-Motion Cannon.

Failing that, few earthly problems can't be solved with the repeated application of a bigass sword.

And I luvs me my katana.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Wave-Motion Cannon.

I thought this thread was about DnD weapons.

Axes, the bigger the better. Also, scythes.
