Weapons so huge and heavy you must drag them on the ground.

Horns on helm and spikes on armour.

Nailed mine. That and trick-weapons I'm considering making an Anabaptist in Degenesis who uses modified trick-weapon scythe (farm work is one of the tenants of the Anabaptist cult so it fits his theme) but I'm pretty sure that someone will call me out on it.
>>46243082
I call you out on it.
I love flails with cool designs/customizations on the head.
My past favorites include
>Flail with hextors spiked fist for my anti-paladin
>One with a dragons head that showered sparks from the mouth when it struck for my neutral merc from dragon country
>>46242813
hahah, is there anything about that outfit or body type that makes sense
>>46243082
Yo, as the guy who said the scythe thing I've played an Anabaptist before. Bidenhanders are so awesome. A scythe (rule of coolwise) could totally work mechanically the same way, main weapon and handle weapon.
I love big gauntlets
One of my favorite designs is part this and >>46242955
Armored shins and arms, unarmored torso.

My take would be big, ornamented swords. Don't have a good example.

YES
Covered eyes, specially females
>>46243452
Whips in combat.
I dont give a shit if it's more of a tool than a weapon. I dont give a shit if it has very little 'stopping power'.
It's cool and you can do fancy tricks.

This isn't a character thing, but 18th century warships are always amazing to me.
Even in a medieval setting, I just have to include them and their cannons.
Improbably long chain/rope weapons.
So long you need to pull off fancy acrobatic maneuvers and use all your limbs and/or magic to use them somewhat effectively in combat.
Big Ass Round Hammers you can hold in one hand.
Going further down the impractical scale I like 'em gold or wooden, actual steel makes it look more like a smash bros power up then a real weapon to me.
female martial classes
>>46243755
I remember dual wielding Shields as a Viking was actually a really useful strategy in FF3. You'd slap on two shields and you'd draw attention from the baddies with their "Provoke" ability while two other team members attacked and one healed the tank.

Hey, stupid things in settings aren't so different from stupid weapons and character designs.
If you wanted, I could bring up this style of soldier being awesome even when out of timeperiod.
>>46244242
18th century warships aren't a stupid design, anon. Yes, you go out fo your place to put them were they don't belong, but that makes them anachronic, not supid nor bad.
Same happens with what you just posted. Tha's a perfectly functional soldier, putting him out of his time period isn't a design decision, it's a setting decision, which is not what this thread is for.

Because we had a whole thread recently about how guns are very hard to include in a fantasy setting with magic, because why would anyone include guns when I could just shoot fireballs?
>tfw FUCKING INVINCIBLE
>>46245204
Large weapons seem to get a lot of love.
>>46245251
It is very simple actuallyGuns also shoot fireballs
>>46245251
Why would anyone use a crossbow when they could just shoot fireballs?
Why would anyone use a sword when they could just shoot fireballs?

But the thing about the bidenhander is that you pull the dagger out of the hilt. If you wanted to use the blade of the scythe in the same way you'd have to pull the whole thing back and take it off, which would consume more time than actually trying to hit with it again.
>>46245495
Looks more like a Red Mage to me.
>>46243734
>>46243807
Dual wielding shields is an actual fighting style in some worlds, and specially efficient in low to mid levels. The sheer amount of armor allows for a great stalling fighter, as you exhaust most enemies' skills and resources while constantly bashing them into submission.
>>46245637
>not pictured: stealth
>>46245328
In a lot of cases it's become a bit of a staple due to anime and videogames. Back in the day, a bigger axe was more likely to look like an axe in your fifteen pixel MMO.
Impossible bag-of-tricks as a weapon.
Also tiny characters being crazy forceful or effective. I remember a bunch of /tg/ threads about Pixie Brawlers that made me extremely pants-happy.

>>46244603
Tower shields are pretty great, especially in formations or tight hallways where one guy can block the whole thing.
Messers were sword workarounds not for carrying purposes but for construction. The knifemaking guilds wanted to be able to sell swords so they made big knives with no pommels. Boom, not a sword.

Its a very amateur effort, but its basically an action heavy fantasy comic about a mercenary with superhuman attributes (think Guts with Joseph Joestar's personality) and his wizard best friend getting involved in all kinds of shit. It's heavily inspired by Berserk but without the Grimdark background. It's also inspired by among other things

>JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
>action movies
>pulp fantasy comics
>Quinten Tarantino movies

IRL you would look like hobo in it though.
Repeating crossbows that were clearly designed by someone who was told "No the character can't have a gun". Bonus points for crossbow pistols, it's the best way to play a hard boiled detective in a fantasy setting.

I was actually thinking about this. An anchor itself would be hard to use, not taking in the weight and size. You'd have to hold it by the chain-ring, or do what Nautilus does, and swing it on the chain itself.
Also, anvil on stick.

Honestly, despite being a three-on-one clusterfuck the Ruin Sentinels were one of my favourite boss-fights, mostly because they have such a cool design (especially that spinning attack they have). Music's pretty great too, especially that sinister build-up at the start.

>>46243082
Gehrmans scythe is a more practical weapon than most give it credit for. Unlike a real scythe, both sides of the Burial Blade are sharpened -- the side that faces away from you is sharpened, and it's what you're using in its untransformed mode, and the inside edge obviously is as well. It's really more of an oddly-shaped war pick than anything else.
Still not the most practical weapon, but not entirely useless either.
