New Posts For Thread: Elven Weapon Traininghttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29315229/Elven_Weapon_TrainingWith the new weapon category of Finesse Weapons, I wonder if elves would be better served by changing the Elven Weapon Training trait to: "When you attack with a one-handed finesse weapon, a shortbow or a longbow with which you have proficiency..." II'm seriously considering creating an "Elven longsword" that is made by Elven smiths, and designed to be used as either a Str or Dex weapon. That would be the default Elven "longsword" proficiency. End of problem.http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29315229/Elven_Weapon_Training?post_id=523989601#523989601I'm seriously considering creating an "Elven longsword" that is made by Elven smiths, and designed to be used as either a Str or Dex weapon.

Most will end up using a short bow and a rapier, with their fighters using a longbow and longsword... Clean, simple... Let's not forget...

Even the drow arcane guard can keep his spiked chain.http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29315229/Elven_Weapon_Training?post_id=523949439#523949439Drow - 1-handed finessable swords and whips and hand CrossbowThis covers swords for fighter types, whips for clerics, and hand crossbows for all.

They gain good reasons to use the weapons that match their history, and there isn't any worry about two-weapon fighting with dual longswords.I definately dohttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29315229/Elven_Weapon_Training?post_id=523949377#523949377I say let elves use Dex or Str for longswords without saying its finessable and call it day.
