This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: StormBringer;590029You're missing out!  :)  It's really the only thing that makes the Fighter's universal proficiency worthwhile.  Without this, the player will generally take a two-handed sword or a bastard sword used with two hands and hack away at anything crossing their path.  Maybe a spear for reach and a composite long bow for missiles.  Skeletons are about the only monster that really requires a blunt weapon, and the Cleric can turn those and polish off the rest with a mace.  Half damage on a two-hander is still pretty significant.

Actually, won't they just use the 2h sword anyway? I think it had the best overall weapon type bonus.

It is.  Footman's flail isn't too far behind, though.  If you aren't using the table, it's not even really on the radar unless you are a Cleric.
