More weapons!

[GuyWhosThere0530]

Remember when in other D&D games you could have so called exotic weapons? Like a scythe? A katana? I have yet to see these weapons in BG3. Personally I want a katana, but I'm sure some others would like to see other exotic weapons. I wish these would come in the future. Just saying what's on my mind.

The trouble with exotic weapons is that they required feat support. And feats are much fewer in this game.

So like, the PURPOSE of an exotic weapon was that they had different crit properties. Like, A Scythe was just a great-axe, except it had a x4 critical damage multiplier.

A kukri was just a Dagger that crit on a 18-20.

But now, ALL Weapons crit for x2 damage, and ALL weapons crit on a 20, unless specified by other effects.

You can still HAVE a Kukri though, it just uses Dagger damage dice. You can still HAVE a scythe... it just uses Great axe dice.

The PHB even says "Its okay to have stuff like Katanas, Sai, Nunchaku, just use the correct damage dice for Longsword, Dagger, and club" just not in those words

yeah the good days! where you could actually have a few choices so much weapons to pick from! One of best features for a video game but what can you do they picked only the 5e strict port... instead of going with video adaptation and picking best from both worlds...just something that moding will have to fix i guess, sadly.

The daggers disappoint me. They all look the same while I want a dagger looking more like a short sword than a knife.

[pageu666]

But daggers are knives, not swords.

[dolby]

Daggers are "normally" double-edged knives used to kill people with. They are and were used for special attacks or extremly close combat... They should never be a primery weapon to being with, going vs long sword or let say vs a spear with a dagger is just ehem..stupid.

THe reason we have weapons system like this is cos all this systems were designed by geeks who never held a real sword in their hand let alone make one or use one.

But... but 5e lets you have ANY weapon. ANY WEAPON.


Broken off table leg? 1d6 club.

Frying pan? 1d6 club

Boot knife? 1d4 dagger

Potato peeler? 1d4 dagger

boomerang? 1d4 light hammer with thrown property

Ship Anchor? 2d6 Maul - two handed

Pirate hook hand? 1d4 Sickle



Like, seriously, you can have any weapon you want now, there's not "Less weapons" There's MORE.

They just don't require a feat to use them, and the damage dice doesn't differ so much. So you don't need 4 different weapon types that use 1d8 slashing damage. They're all just under the 1d8 slashing damage weapon category of "Longsword"

you do know this is a BG 3 Video game forum not a DND tabletop forum lol
If it was like that in game it would be good... but it's not, sadly..
And this is why he - we asked for more weapons?

Upside down world in away... In Pnp where you can't even see weapons you have all those options and in video game where you can and where on that fact they should build on, there is a limited selection...

Pirate hook would be cool same as Potato peeler but for start katana would be amazing.

But that's what I mean.

BG3 CAN add more weapons. For example, there is no FLAIL in 5e, but there is a flail in BG3, the shattered Flail.

This flail uses Club stats (I think, maybe mace stats), and BG3 can do this whenever they want.

you could have a Frozen Swordfish that you wield like a Longsword, or a Stale Baugette.

BG3 could have a Wakizashi or Tanto user, and you get them as shortswords.

The OP is asking about exotic weapons, and the game CAN support them. They just don't give the crit multipliers that they do in 3.5.

Well, i don't cares for that crit multiplier, yeah it would be nice but ok we can live without.
Same as with the feats.. i can at least, even if they make the game more intresting but ok not a deal breaker.

At the end it's about the weapons yes they are a few Shining exception! And those are great we need more of them alot more!

I even found a meat cleaver and the chair leg thing and they are others but they are extreamly rare, it never even gets remotely close to the options you could have so i don't start naming other games cos peopel get hostile if you do that for some reason...

i know it's alot of work but that how it is... ANd Katanas could be a dex weapon same as the Backswords are now rapiers...

There was talk of a Salami +1 weapons in the Panel from Hell 3, so we might get that as a meme weapon in-game. Who knows... They can add anything in. The future is full of opportunities, I hope there's an executive in the board with a twisted sense of humor to approve the addition of meme weapons; just because they can...

I just suggested a weapon customisation menu in a feedback. It could have similaritys to the character creation but is brought up in a later phase of the game. Something where you choose weapon type, appearance and enchantment.

Katanas, plz i don't use double bladed (blunt) swords, i can manage with single edge swords but i default to katanas. Oh, and plz make them Finesse plz cuz it seem dumb for a strength weapon

I guess it could be possible to make them in the same category as a rapier, but slashing instead of piercing.
