Poll: Choose your weapon!

[Odd Water]

Morningstar (the spiky ball mace fyi) always have one when I play a cleric in D&D. Duel damage wrath!

 

[Serum211]

Can i choose the scythe? I mean they did have it back in medieval times. And a scythe looks kinda AWSOME!

If not i guess ill just go with a halberd. Its also a good choice.

 

[Sebenko]

A longbow.

Apache.

As in, an Apache longbow.

Armed with longbows. I can't believe I couldn't find a picture of that.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Longbow of course.
It has more hitting power than most swords, and ranged weapons allow you to assess the situation from a distance.

Failing that, a Halberd of some sort. I've always liked the idea of them.

 

[No-Superman10]

It has to be the Twinswords or a Clawed Cestus (Combat Glove) i'm not sure why but i've just always used them when given a choice.

 

[Retardinator]

Aw, nuts! AK-47 is excluded. I'll have to go with a longbow then...

 

[Orinon]

a sword made of fire and lighting. and I will win.

 

[Unknower]

Also, a chainsaw.

Okay, seriously though, I'll just take a sword and a shield. Yeah, I know, I'm boring.

 

[AvsJoe]

The only weapon of the bunch that I have *any* experience with is the bow but I can't hit the broad side of a barn at 20 metres. So I'll grab a short sword and a light shield and pray that I survive.

 

[Agrael]

Warhammher with a shield.

I missed it.

 

[Proctorninja]

ill choose the good old fashion Katana with Samurai armor Banzai

 

[Guttural Engagement]

I take a bow, and lots and lots of arrows. Cause then I can stay behind the battle shooting my enemies - and not have to run in and die right away.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

A range one since they kept archers and other ranged units far away from the battle.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

Use my diplomatic skills so I could get an army to fight for me.

 

[nick n stuff]

i games i always go for ranged but for the purposes of post, polearm. just cos i would be awful in battle. with a polearm i could just hold it and spin, mark off that circle of pain.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

A lightsaber!!!
Seriously: either a mace or a longsword, probably a mace, but it depends on the amount of training I'm gonna get befor the battle.

 

[Twad]

Crosbow, at least i will take down a few of them before they reach me. Im a newb with in bows (and just the modern ones,the medieval types powerfull but hard to use) or whatever else.

At worst in melee, two short swords.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

Considering I've had no martial weapon training, I'd probably go with a crossbow. Any idiot can use one of those.

Crossbows are actually really difficult to use. You have to build up alot of muscle in your arms and such, Men who used them had alot of training from quite a young age generally.

True story, I spend probably 3-4 hours in the gym per week, and when I used a crossbow at a castle I visited, it was quite a task.
Though that's probably what I'd use, and I'd probably do my best to modify the bolts so they flew longer, faster and straighter.
