Iomma Sensei By D&D standards, it's just a masterwork shortsword, so no. It's not an exotic weapon. They are better than other swords of it's size, being stronger and staying sharper longer. How's this for an exotic weapon: The Nail Gun 1d3 peircing damage 19-20, x2 crit Can fire 40 rounds in 3 seconds Range incriment: 20'
Range Increment = 5 ft. they are not accurate at all. and the rate of fire is a max of 2 a second. with a -4 to hit mod stacked for each additional attack. Requires 2 hands to use. Crit rage = 20/x4 and base damage is good.
Would say max shots per round would be 4 shots per round as a full attack.

Little Green Soldier Alright, I've had it with misinformation about these things. First up, the Dire Flail. I've heard more complaints than I care to count about the physics of this weapon, mostly from people who never took a physics class in their lives. The Dire Flail is a two handed bludgeoning weapon. It comes in two flavours, one, a three sectioned staff, two, a short pole with a ball and chain at each end. First, let's establish that this is an existing weapon. It was not created for hahas by Gary Gygax, it does actually exist. I have seen them used. The first incarnation can be seen in the hands of Jet Li in many movies. The second incarnation is rarer, but still usable. Most dissenters complain that the impact of the first ball would stop the momentum of the rest of the weapon, causing it to injure the wielder. Not true. Remember that this is technically a chain weapon, effectively putting the bludgeoning ends in completely different frames of reference. Since you would be continually spinning the weapon in a figure-eight motion to begin with, the impact of the first ball is used to angle the direction of the follow-through, devastating the target with the second ball. The wielder would then use the few moments of stunned opponent to get the weapon spinning again, preparing for the next strike. Next: The Dwarven Urgosh. This has been a real weapon for centuries. It's called a pole-axe. 'Nuff said.
on this you forgot about the third type of dire flail. THe more commonly thought of one. It looks like a mace, however it has 3 to 4 spiked balls on chains hanging off of the top end of it. This style was mostly designed for massive attacks at the same time. Each spiked head hits different spots on the same target at roughly the same time. Usually this was used to crush your opponents internal organs through thier armor without actually needing to get past thier armor.

Iomma Sensei Fiver I love the foil for two reasons. First: swords proved their superiority by becoming the weapon of choice... everywehere. When the Italians came up with the rapier, it came to light that someone who was any good with a rapier easily bested even the most skilled swordsmen with any other kind of sword. Finally, the French perfected what the Italians started by realizing that swords don't actually need to cut, producing a rapier which could easily reach past any other. The second reason is I just find the idea of kicking someone's a** while looking like a total pansy hilarious. Fruitcake whee Hey, at least you don't look like a drunk when you fight (stupid balancing issue ><).
That's me when I bowl.... darn lack of bowling skill. I think that the staff is an awesome all around weapon. Even though I lack any actual weapon training. It's always been a favourite of mine in stories. Very versatile what from I've seen.
