I calculated the best weapon to choose, depending on role, race and alignment. I simply show the sheet, with these assumptions:

  • Every weapon in this sheet has +7 enchantment, is blessed, and is erodeproof.
  • You have max skill.
  • You don't want to get blasted by artifact weapons.
  • You don't want to get alignment penalty for using poison if you are Lawful.
  • About melee weapons sheet, obviously, you don't want to achieve "Never hit with a wielded weapon" conduct. Monks are not an exception.
