This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;782032Well they may be blunt but they will still punch a hole in you. I'd say thats piercing. Its still a slender taperd piece of metal used for thrusting (and catching) Hell, a sling bullet is blunt. But it will put a hole in you.

Function is the key.

it's one of the problems with assigning a damage type when a weapon could have multiple.  Halberd anyone?  Heck, if you've ever seen real 2-handed sword sparring, the pommels are used to strike often, and swords in general both slash and stab.  As you can guess, I'm not a fan ;-)
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
