Spears are cool in formation, super cool weapon. I'm a dm too. I don't know about 5e, but in 3.5 the extra range was super usefull for opportunity attacks, this Is what made the weapon super cool for fighters to checkmate rogues, monks (a Little) and casters (run up to them, becouse of the extra range you Always end up hitting them with opportunity attacks (basically disengage works differently) After your normal attack, garanted multiple hits if they are around your lvl or a few higher, Chase them off using the charge action and ruin their day). Also, 2 Spear men with shields and heavy armor were the bane of rogues (there were more than One type of shield in 3.5, the biggest One Needed a feat and gives +4 armor class for a Total of +12 with full plate armor that gives +8, this shield can also be used for full cover by placing It on the ground, but It gives various malus on moviment while carried, the +4 along side the extra range means that frontal attack from non martial classes was suicidal), the extra range and opportunity Attack meant thiefs/monks could do nothing for the First rounds other than trying to circle you. Cleric+paladin as Spear men, along side a ranger and a mage, was all your party ever Needed, any "Fair encounter" by dm guide can't Hope to deal with this, and this was becouse the paladin Is clearly Fair and balanced in 3.5 :). Never per experience players that constantly try to Power play and optimize build have them. Long rant on how broken the paladin Is in 3.5, yes I DM 3.5 becouse I'm a nostangic (I also like how the edition Is more cheese proffed, no lvl 8 druid can summon Pixie and turn the party in t-rexs, but Damn the books are long and heavy to read, almost as much as my comments). Edit: I said wisdom a lot later while talking about paladins, but they depend on charisma in 3.5, I'm dumb. I'm not changing It becouse the comment Is too long. There are also a lot ripetitions and captain obvious moments, along side poor wording. You guys know that saying in 5e? Especially the wizard? The meme that indicates the super utility class that can solve almost anything? In 3.5 It was especially the paladin After lvl 2. Damn that class was strong, saving Rolls against anything at +5 in average at lvl 2 (with low stat of wisdom and not considering bonuses from other stats, basically the base for the class is +2 that grows with lelevs, this Is the substitute to proficiency, and this by itself Is alredy a lot (explained Better later) but the class has an ability at second level that gives your wisdom bonus as an extra on All of the savings, so I Say +5 but It can be easily +6 on all of them by using the point sistem and reaching 18 wisdom, and to that you have to add the bonuses from statistics so It can easily be +7/+8) and "healing hand" (translated from my lenguage, Is the second ability that in 5e gives you 5 health for level to heal) scales with wisdom bonus and levels (lvl * wisdom bonus), since stats can go above 20 Just by lvls (you get both feats and +2 with lvls, but feats are at different levels) this was your second sharable constitution (once you surpass 20 wisdom Is Better than 5e and there Is no upper limit). If you give this class full armor and an healer, there Is no way to kill him as long as you max strength and wisdom. Starts with the biggest Gold sack in the game at lvl 1, and making him human means you can get the feat for the +4 armor class shield at lvl 1 and you can start the game with It (you can buy It, It costs a lot but the class starts with lots of Gold so It Is not a problem), having in average 18 armor class at lvl 1 (the class gives you and heavy armor that gives +4 as part of the "Easy Life" starter pack, later you can have armors that gives +6 around lvl 3 by books prices and the Gold you should have for that level by encounters, so Easy 20 armor at lvl 3-4 with super High savings and a big ass health pool from constitution and wisdom, as long as you have strenght you can tie in damage fighters and have health pool similar to barbarians). It resists anything, It has lot of hp to tank spells and full strenght bararians (barbarian can reach 24 strenght while in rage and their damage doesn't depend on critica), enought armor class to make rogues and rangers Attack amount to Little, and no status from wizards or sorcerers becouse of the super pumped savings. It litterally has no weaknesses compared to other classes, It has more of everything compared to melee classes (except barbarian damage) and resists statuses. To explain It more in detail It would take long, so I Will talk on about the savings as an exempla. There Is a bonus save for each class that was changed in proficiency in 5e (proficiency in 5e Is the fusion of many different things that in 3.5 allowed to personalize your character, that Is why 3.5 character sheet looks like a nightmare), It changes depending on what the class Is good at, ranging from +2 to +0 at lvl 1 (goes up to +14 or +7 at lvl 20), the paladin Is good at all of them getting a +2 at lvl 1 and so reaching around +7/8 at all savings at lvl 2 while other classes in their good savings have around +5/6 (the saves your are not good at have +0, and Belive me the +2 Is really good, so the fact that the paladin Is straight up Better at all of them by default After lvl 2 Is super broken). Yes, the class can Dodge a fireball Better than a rogue as long as the wisdom score Is the same as the rogue's dexterity. In full plate armor It probably still halves the damage like the rogue. So becouse of this insane dependance on wisdom, the class can go on only maxing strength and wisdom and be Better than other melee classes in their role, and Is not like not going for strenght and wisdom makes your character much weaker than others lol, in fact you would be at the same Power lvl. And this Is not to mention the immunities they get around lvl 3-4, the monk had to wait lvl 12-16 to see the same kind immunities. As a dm, this Is not funny.

Recognize the (real life) impracticality of the flail and convert to the worship of the Warhammer that has a spike (warpick) opposite to the hammer head for optimal bashing, or the advantage of the Morningstar being like a mace but with spikes, since you can apply more force with greater ease with the rigid shaft of the Morningstar as opposed to the flaccid chain of the Flail

@@redman7775 Just saying that the morningstar or warhammer are better (at least in my opinion based on what I know and have learned about them) than the flail since the flail offers less control than the others due to the chain connecting the head to the shaft, and that you can't press an attack into an opponent as effectively after the initial impact of the strike. The warhammer and morningstar are superior (in my opinion) because the head is connected directly to the shaft, allowing the user to put more strength into each strike, as well as offering more control than the flail because you don't have to maneuver around the chain to attack.

They remembered that Werewolves STILL NEED OXYGEN, so had himself hold one end of the flail, swing the chain around its neck, and have the Barb tug on the other end.

Thing is, in period literature most sword variants were called... 'swords' - maybe with a descriptor or two, if we're lucky. Given that any particular region/culture had it's own preferences (for example, the type of sword we'd now call a 'viking sword', was simply called 'sword', in Norse, by it's users) and many swords were really named by the type of profession that regularly used them (cavalry saber) or had colloquial names (cutto = sabers typically used by the British navy). The real difference that mattered more was dagger or sword... due to who was allowed to craft them (in ye old HRE, for example). Even then, there existed daggers with sword-length blades that technically counted as daggers due to their hilt length, because that's what the law stated at the time, in that corner of the world. That's how messer-type swords became a thing. Ofc, hundreds of years after their practical use has waned, we really needed different names for swords from all across the world, so we... invented some. But, yes, a longsword could be quite long IRL (equal to what some DnD art defines as a 'greatsword'), 'bastard swords' weren't even a thing before 1980 (or 1960?), 'claymore' were largely popularized due to Braveheart (the movie, that is) and the list could go on (let's not even get into glaive vs. fauchard vs. guisarme debate, or we'll be here all night and the following two days). Oh, and 'studded leather' isn't a real thing either - putting studs on leather won't actually add anything in the way of meaningful protection. Thing is, Gary Gigax and co. weren't as much medieval history buffs as they were fantasy and war gaming nerds (plus, at the time research on such topics was harder to come by), so they didn't really understand that the cool armor they were trying to represent had metal plates on the inside, affixed to the outer leather jacket by the visible studs => brigandine (probably, unless they just made it up whole cloth - we'll never know for sure). That said, brigandine is actually quite light, offers good protection, and was widely used during and after the Renaissance (possibly earlier; I can't quite recall). Personally, I think 'banded mail' is supposed to be a type of lamellar armor since, as stated above, brigandine typically looks like a fancy leather armor with studs on the outside. Point is, if the name evokes a definition/image that we can all understand within the context of the game, it really doesn't matter that much if it's not academically accurate - since, historically, it really didn't matter. That said, I will always loath 'studded leather' and have replaced it in my games with either brigandine or boiled leather. :P Finally, history and DnD are both fun.

Well, think of it this way- evolution of language. A Longsword, for the general population, at least, is a bit of an umbrella term that describes multiple swords. A Bastard/hand and a half, arming, historical longsword and whatall fall under the umbrella. It is a longer sword than a shortsword. Therefore, longsword. Besides- fantasy lands may have differing terms on weaponry, since they've differing terms on so many other things.

@@christophervaughan7416 I agree with you, minus your last point. DnD is not a setting; it's a system. There are many different settings in DnD and those could have individual names for the same item, but the system itself should be setting-neutral regarding naming conventions. That said, 'longsword', in particular, is rather descriptive and reasonably setting neutral.

I'd just like to point out that 3:06 isn't a pike - that's a halberd. Essentially, a pike is a particularly long two-handed spear. They were historically used in formation (the phalanx, for example), but might be a good 'keep the enemy at range' personal secondary weapon, since some of them could end up being as long as 25 ft (or only ~10 ft - it depends on the design). There's some overlap with partisans, but those are usually considerably shorter.

One fun use of the whip in Pathfinder. I've read theres a Vigilante build that due to a Talent can use a whip well (the talent pretty much gives the feat tree I think). Iirc, the build is you can use a Whip to trip, can do it at range, and can do it as an AoO. Enemy tries to stand near you? You IMMEDIATELY trip them again, and the build is just you tripping the enemies over and over and over again, likely laughing maniacly as you do.

An objection on the behalf of Quarter Staff: I actually played a Wizard once, and I had the foresight to use the Quarter staff to fight instead of my usual Fire Bolts because I was in a cramped market full of wooden stalls trying to get towards a burning building while surrounded by enemies. A missed fire bolt hitting the stalls would have spelled doom on the entire party. Funny thing is, I ended up doing more damage with it than I ever did with the fire bolts (either missing or dealing below 4 damage), I ended up one shotting three enemies with amazing rolls for the Quarter Staff. Had to pick up the feats for quarter staff later on to fit with the Role-play as a highly intelligent wizard who sucks at magic.

In what has to be my bravest manuever, the Katana doesnt exist in my homebrew setting, even though it includes a "Japan" why? well the **Katana** is made from tamahagane. basically pig iron from sand that they had to beat into submission to make a steel adge on an iron rebar. So, due to the fact alchemical steel is a thing and theres no use for the pig iron to be proccessed like that the "Japanese" swords in my setting go from Kodachi (Arming Sword) to Tachi (Long Sword) also long swords are not one handed, and the two japanese blades mentioned share a damage / moveset / weapon mastery tree with the other arming swords or long swords. So if you were doing 11 damage with a Cruciform arming sword, you are gonna be doing the exact same damage with a Kodachi, giving them no reason to be used other than flavour/preference

Halberds and pollaxes were used by guards because of their versatility as they could be used to attack in a variety of ways, which is why it pisses me off that halberds exclusively deal slashing damage in the PHB.

@@bionicdragon5 Yeah, halberds and poleaxes are basically spears with axe heads on them, although halberds are typically longer. They should at least give you the option of piercing or slashing damage. You can add bludgeoning if you take the Polearm Master feat.

Whips have a legit use! Paladins of Conquest use them when they get their channel divinity powers so they can attack enemies without risking a counter attack while keeping their AC up with a shield, which they WILL need. Splash hex to gain charisma, which will eventually be a 20, and you get yourself some REALLY damn good damage that you can luck on with a smite.

it's fun how the same weapon has different stereotypes depending on the different setting you're in. For example the Laser rifle: Star Wars: the Empire will understand you are a rebel even if disguised becouse you can aim properly Any other Rpg: the most basic weapon out there WH40K: a toy gun
