Welcome to Gaia! ::

What in your personal opinion is the coolest weapon you've used with a character? This can be improvised, conventional, non fantasy. Give a bit of a justification if you can. The goal here isn't to provoke a spitfire roast of flaming. Just to nudge some conversation while we wait for many people who seem to flit back and forth with their online status.

I'll go first.
~Throwing Knives/Daggers~
Here's why I think these are cool. First off you can hide quite a bit on your person if your discreet and ingenuitive. Also it only gets cooler the more you can successfully throw and hit with. If you get to the higher levels you could in one motion draw a couple of them and hit or pin an enemy and just as quickly go back to something more festive. Besides daggers are pretty versatile and cheap keeping them at a functionally high level as well as an easily obtainable resource. I have yet to play a fantasy game where daggers were nowhere to be found.

Blargh Now lets see what you guys think!

eek Seriously if you find the info on that I would love to see it.

No kidding, I've made players groan over that weapon so many times. Never used it with any of my player characters before though just npc's and enemies.
