    Default Path of War: some Exotic Weapons actually worth using

    Back on the old DSP forums, I came across Prime32's attempt to create some new weapons for Path of War. Sadly, I haven't been able to find the original author, but was inspired to expand upon some of the crazy weapons that he created (the first three weapons are his design).

    Weapon stats: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    Weapon descriptions (some still unfinished): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...QndKsCkyM/edit

    (I will likely add pictures at some point)

    The intent for most of these weapons is to create some new fighting styles that would actually be practically optimized, and that players would find fun to use (the battle caber is my personal favorite in that department). I am aware that many of these are going to be quite powerful (don't worry, I am not going into the kaorti domain), so balance advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    I like them a lot, but I don't know how well the Gunblade fits into most Pathfinder games. I'd like to see the rest of the descriptions get filled out. The weights seem a little excessive. Real life two handed axes weighed around 4-5 pounds. Some of these weights are ten times as much. I think they should be toned down a little bit.

    Gunblades are historical. They even come in axe and katar forms for your convenience.

    You sir, have made my day. That's badass. I stand corrected.
