Nopenopenope.  A crit is something like "Mr. X's longspear moves like angry
lightning!"  You're talking about extra damage statements.

What does it mean, "to swing well" ?  A crit like the one described above?
At any rate, with a basher in regular DM, I would go with a weapon that
suites the way your warrior seems to like being run.  Does he do well going
with high numbers and Decise?  You might want to think WH, QS, MA rather
than ML.

Again, I would run with weapons suited to the way you run your basher.
