Okay, if I was given the choice of two weapons, I would pick a whip and a dagger
Not the best choice of combined weapons, but also not necessarily bad. Whip has decent range but it useless on defense, while a dagger lacks aforementioned range but can be used for parrying. Would be horrible in short range though
Are you some sort of expert? I know most of that is just being logical but have you used any of these weapons your giving opinions on?
not that we are, ofc, but you carry yourself as very “I know about this more than you” I could be wrong though. It’s hard to tell intentions and tone online
No, I have not used these weapons myself. Whenever I say something, take it with a grain of salt. Despite the amount of topics that Ive dove into (including such as weapons and HEMA), Im not an expert in any way shape or form. Im just vaguely known about it. Like if you wrote an essay on a topic. You wouldn’t call yourself an expert, but you would feel good enough about your knowledge to give a semi accurate opinion

Two weapons? I'm better with longswords and in a one weapon context, but for duo weapon really depends on the context. For a duel, a buckler and a raiper, for being an evil horrible person, whip sword and shield, and for a war probably a longsword or katana (Pretty transferable skills) and IG a mounted shield.
I’d choose none at all. In D&D, weapons are fine and all (two daggers is my preferred style), but…look, weapons are terrifying, and I don’t want to inflict any sort of pain on anyone.

Okay, if I was given the choice of two weapons, I would pick a whip and a dagger
If I was given the choice of two weapons I’d probably choose a bow, and a spear or an axe. Spear would be a pain to carry, but probably easier to use than an axe effectively for someone like me who has no melee experience. Axe would be less effective in my hands but also has other uses and easier to carry.
I feel like a whip is just brutal… those things are f****** horrifying, less so if it’s not to the death, but still
Yeah
It’s a really terrible weapon in the sense that it’s really not meant to kill, just to cause pain. And also (I learned this recently, a street performer was using one): when it cracks, that’s a sonic boom. A (GP)ing SONIC BOOM. WHY ARE WE MAKING THESE THINGS?
Lots of things make sonic booms. Like shrimp. Shrimp make Sun bullets. Considering how small it is, and the mechanics behind it, it’s not all that impressive

I agree. I’m a little bit interested in why you’re giving such a detailed opinion on these weapons. I get D&D might give an insight into these, but still…
I like history. A majority of history is war. War is fought with weapons. That and the fact that I make dnd characters inspired by whats around me (or historical events/people) so I do research on who the were, how they fought and why they fought like that

Whips are actually kinda bad weapons, as they don't hurt unarmored people enough to stop them... and if you have good armor... well... the whip ain't doing much
*Sorry if this a patronizing I'm sry for being so 'Erm actuamallamally'*

I think it very much depends on the context like I said
most people in modern settings, are for instance, not wearing armor. Who you’re fighting, when you’re fighting, why you’re fighting, very important to what would count as a good weapon

We’re talking about being hit with that power
looked up the shrimp thing briefly, it’s not like it’s weak though..
Against skin, yeah that would hurt like hell. But so does getting stabbed. And getting shot. Those can actually kill you. And the thing about whips is that it’s all intimidation. As an actual weapon (in a sense of “how quickly can I get this fight to end?”) they aren’t really all that
And if you were to get hit with it as a human, it wouldn’t be all that. It be like getting a very small light shined in your eyes. Not fun, but not anything groundbreaking. For a shrimp, yeah he’s packing some serious heat. But its a shrimp

It isn't good in most all scenarios because another medieval weapon beats it. Because yes it will hurt, but in a fight you don't wanna just tear some skin or make a bruise. You wanna go for damage that effects the other person.
dang no ones gonna comment on my perfect weapon combo of Viking axe and a spiked shield?I see how it is
It would be fine. Like any other weapon, it covers its bases but has some pretty easy counter play, that being any sufficiently hooked weapon, or practically any pole arm. There’s no real such thing as a “perfect weapon combo” because it’s like a giant deadly game of rock paper scissors. X beats Y, Y beats Z, Z beats X so on, so forth

Out of all of these what would be the most fun tho?
I just realized I never said my ideal weapon. In warfare, most likely a partisan. If I’m feeling honorable, then a saber or rapier will do. If I’m throwing honor out the window and trying to win, a matchlock
