[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 2321212, member: 4134"] So you're not saying that the system is bad flavour (IMO it's great flavour, and makes snese), you're just saying that the "heroes" you play are sell-outs :p Those guys want great big weapons, but will abandon it at the first sign of an enemy with DR, regardless of the fact that you can still damage the enemy with your sword (DR is much lower in 3.5 than it was before). You know, it is not the old "you need a +3 weapon, or you cannot scratch the enemy, not ewen with 100 points of damage" rule. It just reduces damage. And I remember other stories where the heroes needed special weapons to hurt special enemies (noone ever complained that the hero had to abandon his weapon for a silver sword, just becuase he had to fight a werewolf) The fact that this short sword is made to stick people with, not to hack at them? The short sword is not just a smaller version of the long sword. Other problems with using weapons like that include differences in hilt sizes and so on. Nevertheless, there's a rule for using weapons of different size categories as other weapons, so the large short sword can be used as medium longsword. Actually, I like the new system because we don't have to compare those different sizes. "So, this giant's large, so his greatclub is huge, right? And his dagger is small, is that correct? Damn, I'm getting a headache" There's that, too, of course. In the FR, for example, the half-elves of Luiren have their own realm where there are almost exclusively half-elves. Another nation is ruled by half-drow. No, cannot have that. Only dwarves are to get that, because they're so cool (pretends to have a rolling eyes smiley) [/QUOTE]
