    best weapon for me is Greatsword and Dual swords (yeah both swords... :blob_grin:)
    A normal Sword isnt the Best weapon but has Most versatility and is durable. It is a good weapon in a One-on-One fight.

    honestly, i tend towards the rapier, so technically, still a sword. punch daggers are rather nice, too, but if hard pressed for a completely non-sword weapon, i suppose i'd go for a flanged mace. relatively straightforward to use, not excessively heavy, but still heavy enough to do plenty of damage. good enough for me. tonfas would also be good, but i just don't think they suit me.

    Not a halberd. A spear with protrusion like a pickaxe a halberd is a little bit different, I want a more focused point to gather the energy to a single point to pierce armor.

    No. I imagined an optimal weapon for myself. Just imagine a damn pickaxe with a pointed spear tip.

    Probably a Poleaxe/Pollaxe, they are often confused with Halberds but are usually shorter and used in individual combat(often by dismounted knights) instead of in formations.
    Basically an axe or hammer mounted on a pole with a spear tip and with a spike or hammer on the other side of the main axe/hammer, and sometimes with a smaller spike on the bottom end of the pole.
    The thing is more or less made to be used by an armored user against armored opponents.

    Umu. Glaive (and it's asian siblings) is best. the reach of a spear, the cutting ability of a sword and the practicality of the shaft being a weapon in itself. :blobtriumph::cookie:

    I'd like a character that can use a shamshir or scimitar. That would be nice, reminds me of the ole runescape days.

    I'd love to see more spears. This is the most versatile and popular weapon for a reason, and it'd be great to see that reflected in literature as well.

    There should be a fair bit out there. Technically they're probably going to be the Chinese dao instead of the shamshir or scimitar but the weapons are very similar.

    Yeah, something like that but on both sides with the blades.
