That is perhaps the most debated subject on the forum. To echo what Wyvern and Bungleau usually say: there are no wrong choices.

The way I see it there are three aspects to it:

1. After all this is a role-playing game. Personally I develop my characters into charicatures. For example: My barbarian excels at axes, my zenmaster is specialized in kung fu, my warlock uses staves, my zenmaster used maces when he was a monk, etc. - I.e. for the fun of it you can choose to keep characters true to their roles.

2. Especially for your second and third run of the game: Once you have completed the game your party will have developed to a power house. You can then choose to make new characters specializing in less effective weapons (such as maces) to make the game harder.

3. You can choose the best weapons and weapon categories to inflict the most damage. The best weapon categories are daggers and swords. Within these categories come the best special weapons, and furthermore they are the best for blessing and enchanting. A character with full strenght, 2nd weapon skill, and gallantry plus the appropriate strenght traits equipped with two weapons enchanted +14 can often kill even the biggest monsters with a single blow.

There are many possibilities, but what gives you the most gaming satisfaction is the best choice. [img]smile.gif[/img]
