Your signature melee weapon

[Arnoxthe1]

Dual longswords or dual something swords to that effect.

Idunno, a frying pan?

That's my shit. Fuck your impractical swords and hidden blades that nobody on this forum knows how to use. Give me an old-timey cast iron death machine.

Do you own a cast-iron skillet? Do you have any idea how heavy and impractical that would be as a weapon? A stainless steel frying pan would be much more effective.

 

[Infernai]

Can't fix what isn't broke, so...A katana, MADE FROM ADAMANTIUM:

 

[gellert1984]

A Jiang, the gentlemans blade. Perhaps a vorpal sword, after all you never know when you may encounter a wild jaberwocky.

 

[ilspooner]

I would have metal gloves which increase the strength of my punches, the fingers tipped with long, razor sharp claws. The claws would also be covered in a deadly poison. And spiked knuckles. I would be totally badass.

I do, actually. I have an odd fascination with frying pans, so I collect them. Stainless steel would be quicker, though, you're right. Also, a non-stick frying pan would make washing blood, brain matter, and bone fragments off of my weapon much, much easier.

You could be a Resident Evil boss, i'd call you "The Pan Man"

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Crampons.

The closest I can get to attaching pure pain to the soles of my feet.

Or rocket boots.

I've been trying to design a sandal that incorporates those, I call em Bear Feet.
Anyways, I'll go for a proper warhammer. It's like a sledge, except better.

 

[DustyDrB]

Daggers! Or a hidden blade. It's all about the stabbing. I don't want to slice you, I want to stick a discreet sharp poisoned steel blade into you.

 

[callmegreen]

Lightsaber AND The POWERGLOVE........ Its So Bad

 

[Czargent Sane]

Didin't say it had to be real, so.

Love these things. <3

why do they have two sided handguards??? those look ridiculously difficult to hold

 

[captaincabbage]

Flaming sword of justice.

This, but rainbows too.
So yeah, a Rainbow Fire Sword. :3

Failing that, I'd have one of those bitchin' finglongers, for long range eye-poking.

"Good news everyone! I've invented a new method of turning things on from all the way across the room! You'll also read this entire sentence in my voice!"

 

[Chappy]

Hm nearest thing I can think of as a weapon I own IRL thats usuable are my keys attached to a flexible cord so as a signature melee weapon? Maybe a flail of some kind that has a meter or two meter range.

If I can pick one out of the blue though anything I can have I'm going for Shuang Gou (Hook swords)

 

[ArcWinter]

A hatchet.

Simple, yet effective.

 

[Corjha]

I'm a halberd sorta guy.

 

[Eldarion]

Having held a life sized model, its not that hard it just takes getting used to.

 

[Some_Jackass]

Lead pipe. Ill fuck you up something fierce.

 

[A Free Man]

Assuming that I could use it I'd pick that hammer from Red Faction Guerrilla... I don't think I even need to explain why.

 

[Adrian Madhog]

No weapons... I would solve the conflict by using my wits, my inventory and my ability to make Dialogue Trees pop out of nowhere..... If the intelligent approach doesn't work, I can always whine them to death.

 

[WanderingFool]

Spoiler: Katars

God I love these things.

While there is no doubt a martial art to go with them, at their simplest, I can just basically lunch with them. Nothing can be as devastating as 9-12 inches of double edge steel attach to a right hook. Some models actually are built into gauntlets, and you could go with something like this:

Spoiler

Its basically a short sword attached directly to your fist.

 

[Hader]

A simple, yet versatile sword. A small bastard-sword like katana is how I always thought of it, though I would use it one handed predominantly.
