Oh Tebow, don't even get me started on SyFy's disappointing treatment of The Dresden Files.
Iron Man - who wants to take me to see it Friday night?

Speaking of Dresden, this was the April on the calendar the wifey gave me:
Also, someone kick LV's ass and make her read Side Jobs, Ghost Story, and Cold Days, so I have someone to talk to about them!
I suppose I could be convinced.... =P
Oh, and to the point of the initial post.... Long Swords I thought were always the best because of the d12 knockdown and bc of the d12 vs large creatures... assuming you played with those rules back in 2nd Edition....

Even in 3.0/3.5/Pathfinder/4E, the Long Sword still continues to be the standard in 1-handed melee weapons as your 1d8 (19-20/x2 crit) weapon.
Without having to take an Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, if you're playing a sword and board melee guy, you can't really beat the Long Sword as an overall best weapon.
Not for my Halfling Rogue...rapiers using Dex modifier FTW...

Weapon Finesse was overrated, imo. Just crank the shit out of Str and get both +Attack and +Damage.
