Kama is probably the most unused weapon I can think of right now.

I would say Kukri, definately, but I already realized that and used it, so it's not unused anymore.

Scimitars? Really? I figured that would be an extremely popular choice, especially for druids. Right up there with the Rapier and Greatsword and Greataxe.

Egon the Monkey

Kukris are a good weapon for small PCsso, not that unused other than on normal size ones.

The Crimson Magician

Halberds are the most epic weapon anywhere. I mean, a spear and an axe have a baby, and what is that baby? 'Tis a halberd!

TBH, no one [hardly anyone?] uses battle axes [in one hand] or light flails!

Egon the Monkey

Yeah, tridents on someone who's NOT an umberlite or Sahuagin is a good one.

I was trying to think or weapons that are unused for reasons other than just "mechanically inferior". I see a lot fewer warxaxes than Bastardswords, although possibly as waraxe/battleaxe skins are a bit interchangeable I miss them.

Ah. Quarterstaff as a combat weapon. I ran a Bard using one but got bored with him. There are some good staffs about. Possibly a Strength based pure Rogue with a Quarterstaff and Dirty Fighting? Actually, I've never seen a Rogue with a Spear before. Multiclass to Sorc or Bard or something, take Spear :D

There's also Katanas, I've seen myabe 2 surface PCs with those.

Takinbymadness

I love Katanas. Adore them. But being forced into using it one handed and not being able to use Finesse with it kinda forces it to be used like a Bastard Sword. So if your gonna sue a Katana... might as well use the much more common Bastard Sword.

Raposa_Fox

1 light hammers
2 kurkis
3 kamas
4 sickles
5 light flail

My top five

I agree with Raposa Fox, actually. That seems accurate to me.

Luke Danger

Katana's. I think the only ones I saw was a busted up one, standard-issue ones no one used, at Claria Fireheart's (back in old EfU)

blackvswhite

kukri's unused? they are amazing for dual wielding. godlike in the hands of a WM. I'm surprised that they go unused if what you say is true.
light hammers take the cake.

Crod Mondoon

Duel wield dead fish or dead rat clubs..

Raposa_Fox

Kukris would -good- weapons if not exotic. That is why in 3.5 they are martial weapons. Anyway, they are rarely used. WMs don't get the crit improvement soon enough to make them good at EfU. All they have is the style, in my opinion. And style counts a lot, in my book.

Nuclear Catastrophe

I'll make you an offer, people.

Design me some powerful but flavorful customised versions of Raposa_Fox's top 5 weapons that'll put them up to spec (and maybe far beyond) the more 'common' equipment used. So, that is - the Light Hammer, Kukri, Kama, Sickle and Light Flails.  PM them to me, and I'll pick the coolest, neatest ones to go on to my avatar.  And thusly, eventually, into the module itself
