What's your favorite weapon base?

04:29 PMI was thinking about getting into the market for a new weapon recently, and was just curious about what everyone's favorite weapon type is. Is it the falchion? Axe? Mace? Why do you feel this way?

To kick things off, for myself it's the longsword. They're lighter and quicker than a broadsword, but suffer somewhat against heavier armor. With a longsword you can ambush at 5 RT providing you're unencumbered. reg

04:43 PMUh, my warrior ambushes with a bastard sword two handed at 5 seconds, heh. My favorite weapon base for one handers is the axe, hands down, that's a man's man's weapon. For polearms, have to be either the trident or lance. For two handers, greataxe or war mattock, with flail as a close runner up. For ranged I like longbows, and brawling the knuckle-duster is my favorite.

04:56 PMI am very partial to axes.

I hate how a falchion looks, and longswords and khopesh doesn't please me either.
