name your faves

got a warblade with exotic weapon focus and am thinking of getting a few +1 aptitude exotics

so what are good exotics, and what are good exotic sidearms for a guisarme wielding tripper?

Haberdash the Masked (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88633) is built mostly around using exotic weapons and the post includes many good ones. One of my favorites is the Kua-Toa harpoon from MM5 which lets a character keep anyone struck by it on a leash via opposed strength checks.

Etherblades.

Nothing says fun like nonmagical force damage.

Spiked Chains are pretty neat. So are Sugliin from Frostburn.

Great Falchion from Sandstorm. Hit like a Greataxe, crit like a Scimitar.
It's probably not exactly worth it, but criticals are fun.

Eagle claws from sandstorm will always have a place in my armory.

They sure are. If you feel like dual-wielding reach weapons, ask your DM if you can use the kusari-gama (DMG, page 145).

Page 68 sir

Oh and +1 for the kusari-gama: a reach weapon that can be used against adjacent foes, trip, and disarm.

Hmm- wonder if they could be used to represent the weapons Kratos uses?

Rope-Dart from Dragon Magazine. 10 foot reach, usable with Flurry, comes in Bludgeoning & Piercing versions, usable in close range.

For extra goodness, make Large & give to Half-Ogre Monk. :D

Kratos' weapons exist in a dragon Mag.

Bolas
Harpoons (Most Funnest ranged weapon EVER! Enchant it with returning to piss of any DM ^_^)
*Jawed Maul (The love child of a Maul and a bear trap. Causes bleeding damage)
**Fleshcleaver (a weapon so brutal, if you sunder the armor, you'll do extra damage)
**Whip-sword (Ever see Brotherhood of the Wolf? That sword)
**Wallblade (A seven foot long, foot and a half wide blade. Can't use it without power attacking)


*Ultimate Equipment Guide Vol. 1
** Quintessential Fighter II

AH! I forgot these ones:

Alchemy Blade
Spear Spikeard
War Spikeard

Hmm... I wonder if these can hold "ammo friendly" enchantments. Like the loading ones for crossbows?

For reach damage I like the greatspear 2d6,x3 10ft range increment
or the heavy poleaxe 2d6, x3, no throwing but slashing.

Heavy poleaxe is in my opinion the best possible weapon against zombies, that goes triple if you have knockdown. Shotguns aint got nothing on this.

For range under 6 bab, elven double bow. Free double shot at -2 for 1000gp

1 handed dmgoutput: warmace 1d12, x2 bludge

Goliath Greathammer is fun, pre-errata.

I like the Caber, just for coolness factor.

Throwing trees at people is quite neat. Especially on a variant druid.

Hey does anyone know a bludeoning reach weapon?

Gnome quickrazors. Sure, it only does 1d4 damage, but you can draw and sheathe it as a free action every time you attack.

Whats that, Iaijustu Focus? You can make gnome quickrazors into absolute beasts? Why yes. Yes you can.

I do. the lucern hammer (sp?). kind of like a long spear, but with a hammer head instead of a blade

comp. Warrior or A&EG

yeah, lucerne hammer is a pick on a stick, x4 crit, and...piercing

Is it poky? I thought it was bashy.


Hmm... what about that moose antler weapon from Frostburn?

Is greatspear reach? I dont think It is..... The Man catcher! The Mancatcher! Holding your enemys still whilst your party members beat the crap out of them scince 1066 (not really).

Historically, and I think D&D-cally too, lucerne hammer is something that's by definition both poky and bashy.

You can get a non-exotic version of that in Frostburn. Does the same thing, costs one less feat.

it's under frostfell weapons, exotic

it's far too powerfull for martial anyways. 1d10 ranged, and target hit must make ref save vs 10+dmg or have it stuck. Can't charge or run and at half movement due to harpoon sticking out of chest.
Takes 2 free hands and full round action to remove. In which case he/she gets the original damage again.

full round action...so if you actuallu bothered getting more harpoons he/she is toast

Oooh! a Duskblade, with an Earth Mephit that enlarges and holds down the target with harpoons. Extra familiar for twice the fun
