Who do you think has got the best weapon of all time?

My favourite is Druss's Snaga the Sender (before the witch woman took the demon out of it.)

I also like Harry Potter's wand.

Fred Saberhagen's Shieldbreaker was good, though Doomgiver was better.
One destroyed any weapon put against it, and made the bearer unstoppable in battle. Doogiver returned any attack against its wielder to the sender, the whole Im rubber your glue ect.


The Leah Sword in the Shannarra books was cool (basic glowing fire sword that hurt bad things), the actually sword of shannara itself was bogus.. who needs truth

Dragonspur is very awsome, finality/Fatality. not gonna explain that one :cool:

Cant think of anymore awsome stuff, I shall edit if I do...

[Dr Trouble]

Squalls Lion Heart Gunblade in FFVIII ... Oh, Fantasy, not Final Fantasy ... my bad ...

Thats a toughie ... I always liked Ned Starks sword. When I first read AGoT I though it was very cool.

[Aptorian]

But it doesn't do anything?

EDIT: The Torque bombs used against some other citystate by New Crobuzon. Attacking your enemies with chaos and creation is pretty up there on the "Dont fuck with us" scale.

I agree. the Leah Sword was ten times better - just think if they'd have just searched for that one then the book would have been over right at the beginning, and we wouldnt have had to read the remake of LotR.

I like ned's sword too. Ice. cool.

Also glory goat. I thought it was really cool that SE put in a plug about how it was made with wound cables inside to give it extra strength. Engineering ftw

WTF does it do, dont play games with me beer party, trying to keep things a secret, :folken:



Raistlin's staff was neat from Dragonlance, it created light and also had a pheatherweight spell..nice...

Rabbit slayer for the win though...

[Aptorian]

Unless I'm forgetting something, none of the swords the royal lines use are magical. They are made out of Valaryian steel making them somehow better, maybe lighter or stronger. I don't remember the details. But they are just swords.

Pretty boring choice for favorite fantasy weapon.

[Dr Trouble]

It cuts? Its specially made in an old age in GRRM world. You have to read the books to understand.

Edit: Boring? Prehaps, but I liked it. I thought they were a cool thing. And I thought about that when I couldn't think of any other so ...

Excalibur in the Stones of Power by Gemell, pure silver sipstrassi.

But I have a soft spot for Waylanders little crossbow.

or stretching the definition

The Sleeping God in The Nights Dawn Trilogy (can do anything you want at all pretty much)

Mieville again: Uther Doul's probable sword.

[Aptorian]

Oooh, yeah, that was sweet. Butthat wasn't the sword alone was it? wasn't it a machine he has strapped on? It was what made him able to move insanely fast and dodge everything too.

wow... you must explain yourself, what book is this...


the weapons from Piers Anthony's Kelvin of Rud series was cool
A belt that made you levitate, a Stinger that shot out lighting bolts, and other stuff I cant remember right now

[Aptorian]

Uthor Doul is a Pirate/explorer/scientist in China Mievilles "The Scar". Apparently he's one of the worlds foremost scholars on an ancient civilization that came to the world from outer space.

These Aliens not only broke the worlds earthcrust but tapped into some kind of "possibilty continuum". basically they carved out their empire by molding reality around the best possible outcome of all their plans and action.

Uthor Doul salvaged some of this technology long after and was able to put it to use. In a fight, when he switched on this probability machine, he became invincible. Out of the hundreds of possible outcomes, reactions to actions, the machine would guide his movements. Making him horribly precise with a sword or a gun. It also seemed to make him super fast.

There's this awesome scene where we first meet him. He's being rushed by a group of sailors. He pulls two pistols, discharges them in the sailors faces, spins and throws the guns as lethal projectiles, spins again drawing new pistols again firing, again throwing them. Then the sword comes out and oh those poor men.

... Suddenly I get an urge to reread the first two books again, not the third, which was so bad I felt like reading Temple of the Winds again.

That is part of the possibility engine for the sword I think.

I made a mistake on the name: it was his Possible Sword. Basically when the sword was powered off it was a diamond-bladed regular sword, but when it is turned it on it was a weapon that harnessed possibility energy to simultaneously strike with all of the possible sword strikes the wielder could have made. An amateur would swing it at an enemy and almost certainly kill himself at the sametime, while a well-trained sword master would waste the sword through precision: that is each precise sword stroke would have few possibilities of where they might land.

The book is China Mieville's The Scar

Daemon blades in Warhammer, funky things.
