First being, throwing knives.
Now, I don't want to sound like a hypocrite (even though I am one) since Nwalme uses them, but people don't seem to realize their limitations. You have to stand the right way, and throw them the right way, every single time or it misses. You cannot immediately unsheathe a knife and throw it, then expect it to hit the side of a barn.
Second being, stamina.
I am yet to see one person get tired by swinging a sword. Those of us that have chars that aren't physically fit would undoubtedly be quite physically exhausted from swinging a sword for about half an hour. While swords aren't heavy, per say, go swing a four to ten pound metal stick around in your yard for ten minutes and claim you're not tired, especially if you're wearing armor that weighs about as much as a modern fire fighter's gear, or in my char's case, armor that weighs almost as much as he does.
Whilst BLarg is at it, parrying things. From BLarg's limited knowledge, parrying and hitting metal things with a sword hurt because the thing would jar your arm badly.... Mmkay, done.
