What weapons are you packing?

Inspired by the "What spells are you packing?" thread, I thought I would ask what most people use as their main weapon. I think that a choice of weapon sometimes adds "flavor" to a character concept.


Phyllick uses a "Dwarf's Pride" Warhammer (+4 Str/Con) w/ crystals applied. It's an upgrade from the base +1 Morningstar (later /w crystals & enh. bonus) he used during his first run through Aenea.

I've noticed the Club and Spear are more popular these days - Karamip uses the Impaler as well.

Lesse... Lots of characters, lots of choices

Audrey uses the Luminaria. Nuttin' says Paladin like a greatsword cleaving off the heads of bad guys.

Duel Bastard swords. Very clean cut blades with simple runes running along the blades, very viking looking hand guards and dev crit to boot. Right Hand Sonic Blade III , Left Hand Eversio

Gorekhan Vosh: Greataxe baby! An orc barbarian *must* have!

Tenar "Hawkeye" Tallorin: Composite Longbow.

Zoran Van Zastrell: Dual Kukris.

Blink Lightfoot: Barehanded

Aszhad Rahshid: The scimitar of Doom, The VoidCleaver.

Crideas Bane: Light Crossbow or Longsword

Gabriel Stern: Longsword

I like the scimitar's name.

Beuttlerian Gauntlets of Awesomeness...If you know Bram you know why I say that.

Thanks

Heres a screenie:

Jay : Twin "wraithblades" (bastard swords)...
Naka's Nightmare and Sharlo's Souldrainer
Both fully crystalled, with every enhancement the dwarf can add...
Naka was my 80k custom, Sharlo's is/was THE FIRST "blade of zolaras" ever found ....

Shouri: Azrael Eris Illu Orden Usara (920k Custom Longsword)+ either Elf Mage Staff (or other staff) OR Shield
The Vowel Blade uses every token avaliable and is a damn powerful weapon, I re-leveled her from a Ftr20/Sorc20 to a Ftr10/Sor30 and saw absoloutely NO difference in her melee abilities... The various staves she uses are to augment her spells, normally opting for a long-range standpoint with the Elf Mage staff (due to it's -20% ASF property, really useful for her spellcasting and the 20%ASF Longstriders she wears)


Grace : Lore of the Lich (custom Mace,divine and neg damage) Crystalled+ Holy Large Shield of Mystara (looks like a Tower Shield on her!)

Val: Twin crystalled Kama's, Summers Dawn and Winters Dusk (Dusk is a renamed Dragon Slayers Kama, Can't remember where I found it to get another!!)

T'setnoc: "Twin Axes", Flame of the Phoenix (custom) and The Demonbreaker ...
The demonbreaker + gron's str belt max out the ability bonus to STR at +12... I was going to use just two demonbreakers, but they can't be modded in any way (ie crystalled/dwarf,bom) so it actually ends up weaker IMO then the custom .... once in a while I'll get out his shield of Ragnor for extra AC (likely to change now that weapons get Shield AC bonus).... and every now and then (esp when figthing orcs) I'll have him use his +1d8 Fire/Acid +5 Greataxe .....


Wanda: Wanda's Warblade (Custom twin-pronged sparking Greatsword), usually made into a Holy Avenger via the pally spell Holy Sword...
Because nothing says "Paladin" like a greatsword cleaving the head's of evil creatures....


As far as I'm concerned the weapon(s) you carry say alot about your PC... next to your armour and helm they are the visible clues to others as to what type of PC you are.... and what your primary abilites are..... even before talking to someone you know that guy holding the dagger is either poor, a wizard, or some insanely dextrous finesser... most people holding axe's are barbarians.. most clerics opt for maces.. most monks have a kama or go barehanded ... .. ect ect....

My Beasty-orc fighter/acrobat has grown fond of a 2-bladed sword. For simplicity, it's a great weapon for duel-wielding since a mage only has to cast a weapon buffing spell on you once, yet both main and offhand attacks benefit.

Gotta agree with ya there, Rusty


Vizzini the Inconceivable: The Ugly Stick (when he can be bothered to use a weapon )

Gog: Big Pokey Thing (custom greatsword)

Vixen: a matched pair of modified Maces of Three Suns

Vinzer: The Impaler (used from horseback, as a lance) w/ a tower shield

Jinx: +5 Captain Kirks (soon to be upgraded with a piece of Talon's soul )

Kukirs, 80% of my chars.

Derfel - Formerly a scimitar and a tower shield, now a greatsword. Wyrm's Fall, specifically, all crystalled up, until I make a custom.

Kasigi - Fully crystalled katana and wakizashi, or else partially crystalled Diamond-Clawed Gloves.

Grok - A maul.

Harald - Frost Greataxe, for one more level. Then it's the Staff of the White Dragon (I need more of those...)

[science teacher mode] Um, there's no such thing as a summer equinox. There is a spring and autumn equinox, and a summer and winter solstice. [/science teacher mode]

Ok well I liked the way it sounded when I was trying to come up with names.... I'll change it when I next get in-game to be more "correct" ....

No expert in the many weapons Aenea has to offer, but I found a handaxe with Bludgeon dmg and vampiric regen +3 and Greater Magic Weapon spell to be a very nice item to have when swallowed by a Purple Worm.
