Just a question that popped into my head. What are your favorite weapons? For me, meelee is greatsword, which I imagine like the greatsword from dark souls or berserker. Ranged is longbow. I always think kyudo type archery when I hear longbow.
Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
I love longswords since you can reflavour them as so many different things. Mostly i use them as katanas, regular knight-esque swords or sometimes bastard swords. The damage is nothing to be sniffed at either.

Gotta love some utility items like a greataxe or a hammer. On top of being weapons you can also use them to take care of tasks... chop wood, break down doors. Who needs a lockpick when you've got 7 lbs of steel handy?

Similar reasons: quarterstaff. A weapon that you can use to literally poke around with when not in combat. Modest pole vaulting. Three Stooges-esque hijinks if you're in really close quarters. And nothing makes the time go by while waiting around for spell users and the like to recover their spell slots or other traits during a rest like a limbo contest.

One would almost certainly never use their weapon to chop wood. The risk of damage to the blade is too great.

Depends what you are chopping but a normal woodsman's axe would work fine with a weapon and yet to see one need anything other than basic maintenance. Going up against metal armour is far worse than chopping wood.
Steal is harder but doesn’t flex. Wood is dense. An average woodcutter’s ace is mostly iron with steel for the cutting edge to hold sharpness. A battleaxe has less iron and is therefore less shock resistant. If one had a choice, one would switch axes when chopping trees vs people.

tbh probably pike, not because of any reason other than I love the LOZ: BOTW pikes.
Depends on the class.
My favorite class is wizard, so Wand of the War Mage for that class.
For Eldritch Blast warlocks, then it would be Rod of the Pact Keeper.
If I am going to be an archer or some kind of ranged weapon user, I think I would go with Assassin rogue and I lean towards longbow.
For Cavalier fighter, I would go with pike/halberd and comboing it with Polearm Master and Sentinel.

Depends if it's for PvP or regular if it's pvp it's a greatsword and antimatter rifle (just bc of the high dmg)
if it's just a regular campaign, i go with a hunting rifle (heavy crossbow or longbow if guns aren't allowed) and greatsword

Rangers are the best, and have always been the best
I love Homebrew
I hate paladins
Warrior Bovine
Varies by character.
My paladin had his throat cut in his backstory (he got better) so prefers the warhammer.
My wizard has a str of 10 and a dex of 12 he just uses his dagger for the dissection of creatures after the battle.
My arcane trickster stays in the shadows with his longbow until something follows him in to find his shadowblade
Probably the trusty shortsword or dagger.

It all depends on the character.

Yo be honest though, I am very fond of the whip in the right hands.

I'm partial to the longbow myself.
WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
Longbow. They're classy.

Why are people talking about normal weapons, think outside the box. My favourite weapon of choice is my voice.
