Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
Um...How exactly is a Bastard Sword better? You trade 1 point of damage for a better and fairly rare crit range that's virtually non-existent and frankly quite nice (19-20/x3). The only reason I can think of wanting to use a bastard sword over a falcata is that you can wield one without a feat by two-handing it but then, why not use a greatsword? The only reason to use a bastard sword is a) if you're a katana fanatic or b) if it's a Sunsword and can wield it as a light weapon for shenanigans.

We probably needn't list every weapon from every splat, just the good ones.

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
Gauntlets are amazing if you have imp unarmed strike, but without it your attack would provoke attacks of opportunity (gauntlets just make your fists deal lethal damage otherwise they are treated as an unarmed strike which is nice if you have superior unarmed strike as a feat).
Spiked gauntlets do not have this problem and so are better if you lack IUS.

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
~Othar wanted me to know so that I would tell men that Othar the Storm-Rider had died well, and I had told him to keep a tight hold of his sword so that Othar the Storm-Rider would go to the feast hall in Valhalla where all warriors who die bravely go after death. These days, although I am old and feeble, I always wear a sword, so that when death comes I will go to that far hall where men like Othar wait for me. I look forward to meeting them.~

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
Ah yes. Then I agree, our party is heavily overly WBL. Although aren't warblades supposed to be, like, the rockstars of martial classes?

... What? Is no one complaining about the stuff I added when I edited my sword rack post?

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
Well if you just want them for weapon enchantments why do we care about the few GP difference between gauntlets and spiked gauntlets when normal gauntlets do have deficiencies as a secondary weapon compared to spike? Spiked gauntlets are better in every way unless you put resources into unarmed attacks in which case it is most likely your primary weapon.

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
What, break their instruments and die of overdose?
Out of sight, out of mind, but since you insist…
Crossbow and bow bayonets are from Complete Scoundrel. Warblade probably won't be messing with crossbows, but the bow one (punching dagger, mechanically) can be handy for archer warblade mixing it up. Elvencraft Bow (RotW) or one of the Swordbows (MIC) would serve you better, though.
Cityscape web enhancement. It's a rapier, so if you like them, this is how you carry one around in stylish if badly clichéd manner.
Good to see PAPG clinging to the time-honoured tradition of D&D.
Largely useless. Purple at best.
Of course, in 3.5, armour can't be sundered.
Sandstorm. Exotic scimitar with tripping, meh. The hilarious Double Khopesh is decent for crit-fishers who want versatility to sometimes TWF, sometimes THW, and comes with tripping too.
Given that debuff/control is the only thing you can do with a lasso, I should think it a given that that's what you'll be using it.
One of the few finessable two-handers.
You don't get the AC bonus, either.
Useless piece of garbage, unless you for some reason need a one-handed weapon for size shenanigans.Quotes:Praise for avatar may be directed to Derjuin.Spoiler

Yeah, Elvencraft bow is better.

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
If we're splitting hairs like this, just get a Ripper (PlH), which is a piercing greatsword, at least stat-wise. The difference between a Ripper and a Greatspear is that it keeps the traditional spear x3 crit and has reach. Still probably not worthwhile, since it's only doing 2.5 more damage over the longspear, except that it can be thrown. I'd list as purple, as there are a couple of neat spear-only feats out there, like Long Reach that can make for some interesting builds.

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
I meant D&D in general. Earlier editions were famous for having a million polearms: glaive, guisarme, guisarme-glaive, glaive-guisarme, bec du corbin, guisarme-glaive-bec du corbin etc.
You can’t sunder armor worn by another character. Thems the breaks. Stats for D&D Lucerne Hammer are in Dragon #331, I seem to recall.
Two or three, I think. Still, why bother with a feat for a weapon you nearly never use? Just grab a buckler and you'll be better off.Quotes:Praise for avatar may be directed to Derjuin.Spoiler

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
I really don't get this weapon. I really don't. It's lighter than both the greataxe and the maul, and yet it has this stupid "It's so heavy that you take an AC penalty when wielding it!" clause. If anything, as a solid-shafted metal weapon, it should be more defensible to use than the greataxe (which likely only has a metal bit).

Re: Masters of the Sword: A Warblade's Handbook [Under Construction]
Well, I don't think it's supposed to make sense. I think it's supposed to be a balance rule. Does it make sense logically? Maybe not. Neither does missing a shot with an arrow against someone in a crowd and not hitting bystanders. Probably meant to speed play and simplify things a bit.
Anyway, I have a question on Wolverine Stance. Normally in a grapple, to make an attack you have to succeed on an opposed grapple check, right? The stance doesn't negate that or anything, does it? Looks like it just lets you use one-handed weapons as opposed to light weapons only. Am I reading this right?Last edited by Optimator; 2011-02-09 at 10:02 PM.
