I am starting a new game with a blade and am not sure what weapons would suit him best.

P.S. I will be with a party of npc's if that helps.

well long swords are never in short [img]smile.gif[/img] .... but when I used a blade i went for the katana's.... IT was a mistake because by the time he got good enough thac0 to stun enemies with celestial fury they had good save vs. spells :(

Also, is the manual correct about constitution ability scores? Is the difference between 6 constitution and 14 really just resurrection survival?

My manuals are temporarily(hopefuly) missing, but I do know the resurrection survival isnt implemented in this game.

You 2???? It must b manual missing season :( :( :( :( :(

Neway yes.... constitution is a judge of how many extra hir points you get... for instance if you have 18 constitution u get 4 more HP than the hit dice of that class.... and after 9th lvl u only get 4 HP per level with 18 constitution :(

Actually,Glorfindel only warriors get +4 hp/level with 18 con.
All others are limited to maximum of +2 hp/level.
And yes the only difference between having con 6 and con 14 is the ressurection survival (and system shock-from pnp)

hmm ok thanks. now back to my original question, which weapons would be best for me?

ooooops!Sorry got carried away!
From a powergammers point of view you warhammers main hand (Crom Feyer) and scimitars(Belm) on the oft hand.
From a role-playing aspect I would go for longswords or katanas or other slender weapons.

where do you get the scimitar(Belm)?
