What weapon proficiencies are best for a blade?

Arathor · 01-27-2002, 06:05 PM

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?

Helspanth · 01-27-2002, 07:31 PM

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.
