What will be your weapon of choice?

[micahell]

Hmmmm....you  cant have a pumpgun, because of games medieval setting...
So i would like to have a crossbow or an arbalest.

Remember, that it was so powerfull, that a peasant could pierce a knights armour and kill the knight with one shoot or heavily injure him, so that the pope forbade its use to preserve feudal control.
If there will be no arbalest or crossbow, this will still be ok, but if there will be one and it just dimishes health by one fifth or even less, i will consider it a childish mess

A chain with a spicked ball would be another good choice, because its a weapon of the true evil ones

Or long claws on both hands, so that i can attack with one hand, while parrying with the other

or a lightweight speer, so that it is quick an has got some range
would be cool, if you could buy or craft daggers with a hollow handle, so to put it on a stick and quickly make a speer, if it serves you better..

But anyhow, it depends all on the figthingsystem. Noone would like a weapon, which looks cool, but you are looking dull, because you get your ass spanked in pvp or pvm.

So lets hope, the fightingsystem wont turn out to be a dice-fixed mess,

My weapon will be a staff if it is combinable with martial arts. I think it will because most martial arts have at least one lesson with stafes.

If not i will get myself 2 nice 1-h katars, or a 2-h katana.

the katars could also be used along with martial arts skills.

hmmmm, what if planeshift martial arts are different than the type we have here, Xana? O.o

From what I gather, the three martial arts schools deal with unarmed combat, two of them doing ki-type spells as well.

you can do both sword skills and martial arts, but not sure they would benefit off each other..

Melee - Any type of polearm, preferably halberd or pike. I\'m not the type to fight in \"actual\" hand to hand, sword to axe, etc. In any case, I do not plan to be the strong warrior.

Ranged - Longbow. I like fighting at a range, and longbows fit that perfectly. They have... a long range. There is the slight problem of requiring extensive training, but oh well.

[Colane]

I\'ve always had a weakness for BIG ASS MAYHEM weaponry,

like an axe, or some hammer

only i resent they are slow

so some swifty double daggers interest me aswel

i\'m am also drawn to the benefits of ranged weapons
first i considered being a bowman, but daggers can be thrown asswel :-)

[baelang]

My preference would be A stiff compound bow and a light, fast, katana.  

but it\'s hard to argue with a nice wooden staff from a defensive point of view.

woof!

[Noitanis]

Unarmed is the way to go, nothing beats it when the only weapon you wield is yourself. Good luck dropping that weapon when you need to

[DepthBlade]

argh this topic is still up? Might as well post again!

A sword imbued with fflames and a shield imbued with ice!

[Ikarsik]

I would have a large mace because i have one at home which i use to kill the dragons under my house with. Also I wouldd use lots of red and dark way magic because it reminds me of the balrogs in LOTR and i thought they were cool

[Adeli]

My weapon of choice would be a rapier, light-weight and deadly in the hands of a master.

If a rapier was unavailable, then I would resort to a longsword or something similar. I would also carry a dagger or two.

All these people who talk about wielding a Staff in one hand, a Sword in the other. I challenge you to effectively wield a staff with one hand.

[Vassago]

Katana, or maybe naganita!

[karakth]

Ooh...Let\'s see, weapon of choice? Flasks containing the equivolent of alchemist\'s fire or acid. Possibly a dagger which extends to a short sword on the press of a button. Yeah.

[Thardin]

Daggers, crossbows, throwing knives. Everything a roque needs. That includes lock pick sets, grapling hooks etc...

[WuRDuLaK]
