They grafted freaking Horns to your face! They are awful useful in battle but man, HORNS! ON YOUR FACE!

How about a Whip Sword? Useful in close and reach range

The pickaxe you used to free your people from slavery. 

The whisperblade – a rapier made of solid air. It has no weigh and will pierce any armor. It’s hilt is made with stormgiant hair and used in the right way it will awaken the storm and blow away every enemy

“a golden spear with blue and green gemstones, that looks strangely refined and perfect compared to the rest of her equipment.” 

The two daggers of the master assassin, rumored to kill every man they manage to cut. 

The dragon sword, a perfectly made katana with a dragonhead as a hilt. Legend says that if you can unlock the secrets of the blade you can use the dragon to throw fire at your enemies. 

Your own body. You are the freaking fighter!

Your own natural fey magic. It makes you faster and gives your fist and feet the extra ooommph, when you hit someone with them. Side effects include a glowing aura and bright yellow hair. 

The first sword you ever smithed out of a meteorite. In the night you can hear it whisper in a language you can’t understand. 

A human two-hander, way to big for a normal halfling but not for you. It might look funny but they won’t laugh when you hit them over the head with it. 

“He owns a sword, one of the proofs of his kingship. It looks like an ordinary, even slightly rusty, weapon, but it is incredibly sharp and durable (exactly how it retains its incredible edge has never been explained, especially as after examination by a witch, possibly Magrat Garlick, the weapon was declared to be quite the most non-magical sword she had ever seen). This is because, as Sergant Colon reasons in Guards! Guards!, one usually became king back then by killing one’s enemies, and therefore wanted a sword that was neither shiny nor flashy but instead “bloody efficient at cutting things.” It has, on separate occasions, sliced clean through another sword’s blade and been thrust clean through a person and the pillar of solid rock behind him, then out the other end” 

“a Dothraki arakh and a Myrish stiletto. Their hilts are a matched pair of naked women made in gold.”

Sometimes you just want to scream “Hulk smash!” and cleave some goblins, but it seems a bit bland when you are not the same size as the Hulk. Meet the minotaur, a new fighter race for people who like to bludgeon their foes into submission! Or apart

Minotaur: When putting your full weight behind your blows, hammers and axes you wield gain the forceful and messy tags.

You are the illegitimate son of the king, raised by peasants but always good and noble. An old crown told you the truth about your lineage on your 16th birthday and handed you the old family sword. Now you have to go and overthrow your brother how is evil and cruel. You are a natural fighter but you also have a bunch of luck.

You are the result of biomagic experiments of your government, huge and bulky, maybe not even human anymore. No one can match your pure strengths.

You are the best pupil of master FiSchu – ending the training 2 years early. A Mozart with the blade, chips progidy. Now you travel the land, learning new styles.

You are an amazon. A fierce fighter and the first ambassador to the outside world. Your fighting style something that’s as never seen on the mainland. Diana’s aegis protects you wherever you go and Ares has blessed your weapon.

You did it, you freed your people from slavery from the dark elves. You organised the riots, you lead the guerrillas. Most of your siblings died in battle but you overcame their twisted magic and learned to use the tools given to you as weapons. The giant pick axe is still with you, able to crack any stone and skull. You are out there, fighting the good fight for everyone that is oppressed, be it monsters, mages or slavers.

You are

The fighter is the class I’ve most considered revising, as Signature Weapon has gotten some interesting responses. I came across this bit in Playing At The World that actually made me appreciate our break from D&D tradition here:

“While Conan looms so large and is so self-sufficient that his swords are all anonymous and interchangeable, the tradition of pedigreed swords stretches far back into mythology and permeates the literature that influenced Dungeons & Dragons. Without unearthing ancient celebrity couples such as Roland and Durendal or Arthur and Excalibur, nearly every fantasy hero worth his salt comes paired with an exceptional weapon.”
