I monopolized a thread once.
It was fun.
I would have to go and hunt it down again in order to show you, Greything. I do not mind Legolas' idea of pretty much "Room Of Combat" type items. I forget which movie it is from, but there is a scene that looks something like this:
"You know, there are around twelve things in this room I could kill you with right now."
"No, no that is wrong. It is thirteen things. Thirteen things in this room one can use to kill people with."
"Oh, I must have missed one then. You were always the one with the sharper eyes."

Aside from that, a few more weapons specially made for classes so that people who want to be able to fight with their mage don't HAVE to go out and get a whole host of combat specialties just to hold a knife in their hands. As well, a few more chained weapons would be nice, especially as they work well for gladiator/wandering fighting monk builds. (Is still holding out for a three-bar nunchaku. *goes looking for the actual name now*
names for it:
San Setsu-Kon, sān jié gùn, three-sectioned staff, san-chin-kun.
those would be nice. yes. *grins maddeningly*
Let's see. What other weapons would be nice that have not been added in already. You already have tetsubo, katanas, nodachi, yari (I am sure I have seen one somewhere)...
Maybe the following? Nagimaki, naginata, bokken (as a paired weapon?), tonfa (also for paired weapon?), manriki-gusari, tessen (battle fans), african throwing irons (those would be SO sweet), and some new gauntlet designs. yes, I know gauntlets are no more than armored gloves, but I owould love to see a few that would not allow for certain weapons to be held, and then possibly add damage types of their own (Stun most common, perhaps on Critical Hit spell effects, maybe even specialist gauntlets which prevent all weapons from being held for mages, sorcerers, bards, and monks).
