No, I'm responding as though having Broadsword-40 costs a lot, which it does. I didn't say or even hint I thought it cost 250.

You could readily take one of the fairly-serviceable [125] delvers from Dungeon Fantasy 15: Henchmen (or, I presume, from Delvers to Grow, once that's released), tack Broadsword-40 on top (likely for less than [+120] if you pick a combat-focused template, which will already have a decent DX and some points sunk into Broadsword), and end up with a character who massively outperforms all the [250] characters in any situation where hitting things with a stick is useful.

As I've been saying. Very specialized in hitting things with a broadsword, not so good at anything else. Like hitting things with an axe when your broadsword has been broken or stolen.

I put it to you all that doing things other than hitting stuff with a single weapon is needed even in a dungeon fantasy game.

All right, I'm out of this thread. Trying to talk about GURPS is very frustrating when every conversation is about how GURPS is broken.
