DnD 3.5 Ice Hockey

[imp_fireball]

Races of the Wild has this exotic weapon, although they are really bad as weaponry unless you fly (Raptoran) and are using two of them. And then they are still pretty bad imho.

EDIT: If you were to make ice skates a weapon, they would probably be an exotic weapon (ice skates are not a regular weapon that the classic fighter trains in), and deal at most 1d6 damage (akin to a shortsword). You would basically have to incorporate ice skates into a regular attack routine (possibly with ranks in jump and/or balance and/or flying) before anyone plays it from a crunch perspective.

What would Brian Boitano do if he was here right now?....

Dude, the fighter hails from so many different parallel universes that there's gotta be at least one where he uses ice skates as a standard weapon. Also, ice skates are relatively simple, low tech, and not even all that difficult to use if you apply yourself.

So no, not exotic please.

EDIT: I also usually assume that any weapon a given fighter chooses to wield is a weapon that he happens to have trained in. Just because he is martially proficient doesn't mean he knows how to wield every weapon in the list equally well as the others. He choice to mostly go with a great sword (ie.) suggests that he's 'used to that weapon', as is the player, thus fluff-wise, that's among the smaller (non-mechanic) list of weapons he's well versed in. This helps reinforce the reason why fighters end up wielding only one or two different weapons throughout an entire campaign (if he happens to use a whole bunch of weapons in long term battle, then that's just adrenaline and warrior instinct working for him... fluff wise of course).
