Iron Man - who wants to take me to see it Friday night?  |
I really wanted to like the Dresden Files TV show, but eventually gave up on it.
Speaking of Dresden, this was the April on the calendar the wifey gave me:
Also, someone kick LV's ass and make her read Side Jobs, Ghost Story, and Cold Days, so I have someone to talk to about them!

Oh, and to the point of the initial post.... Long Swords I thought were always the best because of the d12 knockdown and bc of the d12 vs large creatures... assuming you played with those rules back in 2nd Edition....

In AD&D 2E, the Long Sword was the best average weapon because it had the highest average damage for it's weapon speed. Plus, a lot of the best magic swords (Holy Avengers, your Vorpal weapons) tended to be Long Swords. Later on, the katana actually came out to be a flat out superior Long Sword and there was actually this weird American Indian weapon that was also just a better Long Sword.
Even in 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder/4E, the Long Sword still continues to be the standard in 1-handed melee weapons as your 1d8 (19-20/x2 crit) weapon.
Without having to take an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, if you're playing a sword and board melee guy, you can't really beat the Long Sword as an overall best weapon.

What, no Drow ranger dual wielding scimitars?
Weapon Finesse was overrated, imo. Just crank the shit out of Str and get both +Attack and +Damage.
