I think most of us have overactive fantasies, that sometimes includes dreaming about being our character. Suppose you would fantasize about this, what kind of weapon would you use?

[KaVir]

I couldn't see an option for "the soggy end of my victims severed limbs". Not sure what would be the closest match. Any suggestions?

[Seth]

Swords.

How else are you going to slice th limb off?

[Yui Unifex]

I prefer the naginata, or bladed staff.  It's the weapon the girl in my profile is holding.  Here's a larger image so you can see the shaft, which is a tad obscured by the buxom cyborg.

Long enough to give a range advantage, and bladed enough to hurt!

Apparently, I am the only pacifist this far. My old knight havent made a kill in a bit over a year and a half or so.

Before that, I loved to use the plain old chopsticks that was free for grabbing at the garbage heap. Another favourite in my hack and slash days was the Stormbringer sword in that mud.

You left out dagger for people who enjoy the sheer joy of dropping someone/something with a knife to the back.

Aye, I know.... Polls only accept 10 options. My first list had about 50, including 5 different kinds of nuclear-based weapons

[Molly]

I usually play thieves, so consequently I prefer the dagger and the backstab as a mort.

As an imm I fancy the 'slay <victim> xwife' option.
(Molly whips out the rotting leg of Colin's ex-wife and beats <victim> to death with it.)

So naturally I refuse to take any part at all in this silly poll.

Suggest next time you use classes like edged weapons, ie, swords, dagger; crushing weapons, ie, maces, hammers.

evil grin

my weapon of choice in real life would be a falchion. combine the weight of a crushing weapon with the sharp edge of a sword.

but then i have an evil side.

Gimme a morning star and a place to battle this out and we'll find out which weapon is best

[Eagleon]

My favorite weapon is one of my own devising, irl. It's a slightly inwardly-curved plate of metal strapped to a sandle. Takes some balance, but I can do some really nasty kicks.

Too many futuristic weapons in there. I'd lump them into one catagory, but that's because I don't play Sci-fi much.

[Edit:] Btw, mind if I copy you and do my own fav weapons poll?

[smadronia]

Generally I prefer swords or throwing stars, or daggers. In an ideal world I'd pack a katana and a set of throwing stars. I used to be somewhat proficient with a set of stars, but it was many years ago and I was a kid... I wonder where they went.

[Shao_Long]

well,in mud i prefer Katana+Wakizashi+shiuriken combination,although

MASS DESTRUCTION WEAPONS RULE !!!!
NUKE 'EM OUT !!!!!!!!!!!

btw,good to see someone who knows about japanese weapons ,Yui
naginata sure is fun..

Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill (almost) every time.

*****

Morning Stars take a bit more skill to use, not to hit yourself in the family jewels.

A real sharp falchion can behead a man without the strength needed to do it with a typical edged weapon.

I would have chosen dagger. What can I say, I play too many thieves... Instead, I had to settle for weapons of mass destruction. Something along the lines of for mort c 'p w k' #

Nah, I'm not that evil...

[Mia]

I'm a simple girl...I like the good ol' dagger that will fit in discreet places...I mean seriously...How is a girl supposed to fit a 6ft broadsword in her purse?

[Shao_Long]

well,what a girl you are if you dun have extradimensional portal ?

Easy.  Use a very large purse. =)

But that's an interesting scenario -- us members of the opposite sex raise more suspicion carrying around a purse than we do a sharpened weapon.

Is that like a common trait amongst females??

True true...but I can never seem to find a portal that goes with the rest of my outfit...know of any good place that sells nice, bright, summery colors?
