It could be useful for melee characters when selecting weapon feats. Two scenarios are given: average weapon usage - with typical weapons and character near 15 lvl, and high-level weapon usage - with most powerful weapons in the game, including HotU, and high-level character. Additionally, several weapon choices for Weapon Master are listed, because of unique feats which give +2 range / +1 multiplier to criticals. Finally, in the last table, weapons forged by Rizolvir are compared. To simplify calculations character always hits the target, except when rolling critical miss. Average Weapon Usage ==================== All weapons +3 STR bonus +10 Attacks per round: 3 Feat: Weapon Specialization Feat: Improved Critical

the calculation, without it weapon would be ranked 11th. Conclusions =========== Overall, Scythe is the champ for high damage in all cases, because of that x4/x5 criticals, but Greatsword is close and you have one less feat to spend. Exotic two-handed 1d8/1d8 weapons, like Double Axe, are suck, and really not worth spending extra feat on them. From one-handed, Scimitar is a great weapon, not exotic and considerably better than boring Longsword. The gap between weapons is wider for Weapon Master, but still Greatsword or Greataxe would be reasonable choices and Katana looks pretty good with that +12. For forged weapons, picture is more or less the same, but Scythe lead widens. It is clearly that Death's Handmaiden, with six Rizolvir upgrades and original Keen / Vampiric Regen +3 properties, becomes uber weapon of decapitation. Version History =============== 1.2 from 2006/12/29 - Added Rizolvir's forged weapons 1.1 from 2006/12/26 - More accurate formulas for damage calculation (with second roll on criticals) - Fixed typos 1.0 from 2006/12/05 - Initial release Credits ======= Thanks to Santiago Perez for pointing out my mistake on critical damage calculation. Thanks to Duncan Clay (duncanclay@msn.com) for his excellent reference guide. Thanks to GameFAQs.com, you are the best.
