Tell me which you think is better & why
Ax Vs Long Sword

Longsword have faster attack speeds than axes but otherwise their stats are pretty much the same, axes don't do more damage than longswords which i find a bit weird...Axes DO seem to have more powerful enchantments however... choose http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Yes indeed...

ARRRRG - another one!
How many more are there?

Again, it depends how you want to use them.

Axes can be thrown.
They do quite a lot of damage.

Long Swords can be used to backstab.
They also do a lot of damage.

There are very good magical weapons of both types in the game. Depends upon your playing style.

I like long swords because I enjoy flame tounge

I've always been a fan of the long sword so everyone should know what i'm going to say. I'm not going to diss axes though. Powerful long swords are always more common in the BG games. Axes on the other hand can be thrown, and my second fighter always uses axes. They do good damage, and do have powerful magic. Remember how fun the throwing axe +2 was in Bg?

Unless you are comparing 2hsword with daggers, it won't make a difference!!!

INFO:
there are
1x +5 2hswd
1x +5 staff
1x +5 Scimitar
1x +5 hammer
2x +4 2hswd
2x +4 staff
2x +3 Scimitar
1x +3 Longsword
1x +4 shortwsord
1x +4 Dagger
4x +3 Axe
3x +3 Dagger
1x +4 SBOW
1x +4 LBOW

Probably axes in that proficiencies in axes will count towards both close combat and ranged attackes. Can get +3 axes very early in the game, make killing trolls a lot easier.
